I'll be spending Christmas eating too much and drinking too much and
away from the bikes while we stay at the inlaw's. I'll be able to run
most days to fight off some of the Christmas calories, but I expect my
suspension to sag a little more by the time we get home.
There's a couple of excellent bike shops in the neighbourhood, so I'll
be stocking up on spares and supplies while I'm here.
Laters and Merry Christmas,
Marz
