I was working from home today so I cleaned my bike and shoes and got all of the wet clothes out of the car and into the washing machine.
The bike is looking new again as I waxed the fram after washing it as it was getting streaks on it without the wax. I also oiled the chain after removing about 5kgs of sandy mud from it. You could hear the sand grinding on the chain when you moved the peddles it was really horrible. After cleaning and oiling the chain it is back to being silent, just the way I like it!
I have also cleaned my shoes as they were really dirty and wet as well. They are now on the radiator full of news paper ready to use tomorrow. I have re-packed the car ready to go to Burnham tomorrow night after work.
After work tonight I will wash my helmet and hang up the washed clothes to dry ready to use tomorrow again.
I am going to clean my helmet later tonight as it is full of mud as well. I also need to find out how to clean the waterproof Jacket I bought yesterday to keep dry as it is also caked in mud from racing.
The points are in and I have moved up from 5th to 4th place in the standings as I won my age group yesterday as One of the fast guys was injured so just rolled around for the points and the rest didn't make the journey down.
