The rooster is in the hallway

I have no idea what "the rooster is in the hallway" means.  It is though in one of the rpm tracks,  Today I heard it twice.

RPM 1: With the young American because the T lady has "man flu"?  Sorry T, man flu does not exist.  Although serious colds that suck do ;-)  Anyway, so the Young Amercian makes this comment like "use this time to get away from work, your children,.....your grandchildren"  "Your grandchildren"????  Wtf there were I think a few older people in the room - me included, but I'm not sure we were grandparent age.  Although technically, I am old enough to be a grandparent, I don't like it referenced in rpm!

RPM 2:  Rpm 2 followed rpm 1 with the PT.  Not really sure it was the best of ideas to try a double, but *oh well*  At one point I  didn't think I would vomit, but I did feel like my feet were going to explode. This is becasue my rpm shoes are slightly smaller that they should be. Doesn't matter for a single session.  But it does for a double.  Contributing to this was the PT doing the rooster in the hallways track as a complete standing track.  Probably fine if I hadn't done the session before.  I did stand but my feet and legs were feeling it.

Second session was a bit hard actually.  But I'm glad I forced myself to do a double today,

Did some cycle related shopping:

New pump, little bag for the back of the seat, c02 capsules, new inner tubes and a cleaning kit.

Most excited by the co2 capsules and the little bag for the back of the seat.  Will fit the bag and pump, and then the aim is to ride without my backpack.  That means drinking less water, and I can't carry granny smiths home from Martinborough.  But real cyclists don't wear packbacks?!- and you know, thats what I'm working towards, being a better cyclist.

I caught up on some cyling mag reading at the Library.  There was a poll in one of the mags about what you do when you get a pucnture.  Something like only 4% call someone to pick them up.  I wont need to now either! - subject to using the c0 2 capsule correctly.  Although the bike pump has a higher psi ability.  So I am set.

I didn't really overheart in class today.  But I am now!  I think that's from not drinking enough water post riding.

Postscript:  Have just completed an experiment with pumping up my tyre in the kitchen.  The cannister exploded.  *Boom*.  Like a cheap firework it lost all its air. Yeah, don't think my technique was quite right.  The hand pump works though when I practiced with a spare inner tube.  So I have some assurance on that.  And I think the cannister will work. on um an empty tube.  Now I understand why someone was inspired to write about zen and bike maintenance - maybe!
