Really want to ride

Went to gates this morning and I am gagging to ride but I am still not ready to ride as my ribs are still really sore.

It is looking like I may have to wait a bit longer than I thought to get back on the bike. I think that the 1st of October is going to be a bit optimistic for a return to training.

I am now thinking that I may hold off until the middle of October ready for the first winter series race at Bristol tonight on the 22nd.

I am going to get my exercise bike from my container tomorrow so that I can start getting my legs moving ready to start riding again in a couple of weeks.

I have put the ice frame up for sale on the internet to see if there is any serious interest or not. I am seriously thinking of selling my Yess frame too and just keeping the Dialled until the Curtis is ready and building it up to race next season. I was talking to people today at gates and they recon that it will be worth about £250 so i am going to take some photos today and will put it on the internet as well and see if it will sell.

To be honest the dialled is a good enough race bike for me so if I have to race it all winter it is not a big deal. At the moment it is more important that I work on improving as a rider over worrying about what bike I am riding.

Everyone says that the dialled bikes are really good race bikes so we will see.

I am going to hold off on selling the Yess for a while to make sure I like the Dialled but I am thinking the smart option for now is to sell the Yess and put my onyx/box wheels on the dialled and then sell the Yess frame, the wheels on the dialled that have not been used yet and also the cliq cranks. With all of this money will be enough to pay for the Curtis frame and make a start on building up the Curtis.
