| Bike Wash Used Purple Extreme Lubricant |
As sometimes happens, however, a song seemed to fit the weekend perfectly. In this case, it was the Johnny Cash song "Ragged Old Flag." In particular, the lines:
"...she's getting thread bare, and she's wearin' thin, But she's in good shape, for the shape she's in. Cause she's been through the fire before and I believe she can take a whole lot more." Raggedy ol' bike at the Hotter 'N Hell 100.
So, why this post, now? Well, walking around the day before the ride, I saw a bike wash and decided to treat the raggedy ol' bike to a wash and chain lube that it needed anyway. I've never used a bike wash before. Entirely by coincidence, Purple Traveller made a post earlier today about the very same lubricant the bike wash people used - Purple Extreme. It IS a good product - even on a raggedy ol' bike.

Must resist urge to purchase(xpost)!
My bike could sure use a wash... Tough to do in 18 degree weather. I sluiced it down last week with a bucket filled at the kitchen sink to get the worst of the salt off, but it's due again.
That reminds me - I have to wash Buddy before this weekend. If I was going to do it in 18 degree weather, I'd get a "waterless car wash" product from the auto parts store.
