Well that was an eventful start to my season.
Put the new bike on the roof of the car ready to leave and noticed the chainring clearance was maybe 3 rizzlas. And I'd already scratched the chainstays, so no way was I racing that.
Quickly grabbed the wheels off that bike and got my gravel bike ready instead. All good criis averted.
Last minute stress of that compounded with trying to get a toddler out of the house so I could drop him and my wife at the local train station on the way. Brain all over the place. Drive to the station and straight into the parking barrier. Cue some words my little one hasnt heard before.
Seatpost is totally fucked. Frame was still in one piece (at first glance), so legged it home grabbed a new post and saddle. Off to the races I went. Hopefully less stress next week.
