Poor people shouldn't have hobbies

SO as I mentioned monday I dropped my bike off at the shop to get the freehub body cleaned so it would once again engage. Well this morning I woke up and suited up in my favorite fox jersey and pearl izumi shorts with visions of tearing up some single track in my head. I even remembered to charge my ipod and even put my memory card in my camera. It was going to be a big day with the best ride report ever to follow.

First I just had to stop by the shop and pick up my bike with its freshly cleaned freehub on my way to single track haven. So as I walked in the store the mechanic roy said "said hey brandon didnt you get my message". I knew that want a good omen and I replied no. Then he went on to explain that my freehub was shot and he had already ordered a new freehub body. When he had cleaned it and reassembled it it would just lock up at random times which if I were to be riding would rip my dérailleur of my frame. So this was not the news I wanted to hear. SO as you can assume I didnt get to take that ride today and Roy said it would probably be friday before I get to see the trails again.

Yep Im bumed...thats all for today..
