Drop-off

Very strange indeed to take my bike and gear bag to SBR and hand them over and walk away quite naked of bicycle and gear! I could not for the life of me find my pedal wrench this morning (I think it is buried under all sorts of other stuff in the 'triathlon closet'), but a guy at the store very kindly removed the pedals for me anyway; they were so securely attached that it rather seemed as if no man would ever put them asunder from the bicycle, and he had to enlist one of the store's mechanics to detach the second one! I had better pack the WD-40 in my toiletries bag...
