seems to involve getting cramps in my calves every time I do wind sprints in Spin Class.
Hmmm. I did have that great massage -- thanks again Nifi for the gift. The masseuse really worked out my hamstrings and with some stretching my calf loosened up. Fine all week but last night BOTH locked up doing sprints.
I hydrated well. Even had a bottle of CytoMax (way too sweet a mix -- have to adjust some ratios). One classmate suggested taking 2-3 Tums before class to get a calcium boost. Guess I will try that next.
Looking for suggestions.
Sister-In-Law starts her visit this weekend. She is a very easy house guest to have over. Plus it gives me time to fuss on bikes and ride some and not feel guilty about being selfish and leaving Nifi and the girls:)
No weights tonight, chores to tend to.

Taking A Break...
from work (i.e. reading Fatty's Tour of California coverage -- much better than Cycling News or Versus:)
I have not written, nor ridden in a long time, aside from Spinning and lifting. I had developed a nagging cramp in my calf in my leg a couple weeks ago and it was getting pretty persistent. But, Nifi to the rescue! We traded Valentine's Day gifts early -- she wanted a facial and I needed a therapeutic massage. Last Friday I went in and got a really thorough once over. Turns out my hamstrings were like piano wire and pulling up my entire leg -- and calf muscle. Problem eliminated. Thank you Nifi for being such a generous Valentine:)
I have been quite frustrated with my bike build projects. The painting has take me waaaaay too many weekends. One little drip becomes a whole afternoon do-over and then another weeks wait to get back to it. In any event, I attached a couple pictures of the builds as I checked and straightened out two frames.
Angus checks out just fine
McTavish needs a little encouragement to get the drops straight and centered.
Big thanks to http://www.mytenspeeds.com as a great reference for vintage cycle repair!
