When I get a case of cycling burnout, I tend to find and read a book about touring. “Signs of Life” by Stephen Fabes is a decent one, if you’re looking for a recommendation. Pretty soon I’m itching to ride a tour again.
Or I check the internet for a new bicycle wrenching “skill” that I could learn. I have 3 bicycles, but there’s always something that needs doing. My touring bike is a 9x3 speed. What would it take to make it a 10x3 speed? The front wheel on my road bike needs new spokes. How does one size the spokes and lace a “cross 3”? OK, go do that. Before too much time goes by, I’m ready to ride a measured course to see how 10x3 differs from 9x3, or whether the spokes are all properly seated. And, of course, there’s nothing wrong with occasionally thinking “Low wind, good temperature? Think I’ll go fly an RC airplane”. Heresy, I know, but alternative hobbies are OK. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
