I took my wheel to the bike shop on Wednesday they called me back on Thursday and said that they couldn't repack the bearings because the hub was worn out. I wasn't quite sure I believed them until I took a better look at the hub on Saturday and the hub was completely worn out on the inside in fact there was a whole in the hub where the bearings had worn through it. I must have slowly been cooking the hub to death. They said it would be a couple of weeks before they could get the wheel in. I decided to check a few more places before making a decision.
I went to a couple of local shops today to look for the wheel I needed. I met up with a long time friend from High School Korey Pitcher. He now owns his own bike shop. I decided to have him order it for me. His price was actually cheaper than the other place.
In the meantime, my daughter Madison is about to celebrate her 5th Birthday. She just missed the kindergarten deadline so we went bike shopping for her. We will surprise her with it next Saturday who knows maybe my run for an Olympic chance will end with a son, daughter, grandson or granddaughter some day.
I also put the workout bench back together. I did a few quad pushes, worked my calves and benched a few sets of 110 lbs. of weight. This is probably my first work out since the bike broke down on Saturday, other than a short mile walk with my wife this morning. I've got start taking this a bit more serious.
