I just got a repair stand

Every time I washed my bike or cleaned the chain I always thought to myself, 'I need a repair stand.'

I've been looking at ParkTool PCS-10 for some time, waiting for a special deal or something.

I ordered one from Feedback last weekend.

It was 25% off at REI and they offered free shipping.

After days of waiting, I received it today.

Tada~

The box.
My bike on the stand.

I paid about $97 and it's pretty good. It feels sturdier than I expected.

One thing I don't like about it is there's no height adjustment, but I don't care that much.

I'll use it tomorrow to clean my chain. How exciting!!!

What's your post-workout food?

Mine? Chocolate milk.
No kidding. That's actually really good source of pretty much everything you need after the workout.
Check out the nutrition label on it. It has all you need right after the intense workout.

It was last summer I heard about drinking chocolate milk instead of any other fancy stuff. I didn't believe it simply because it sounded too easy and simple. But, after I checked out the nutrition label on it, I was convinced this was a really good stuff.

Usually when I return from 2+ hr ride, I drink a glass of chocolate milk first. That gives me enough time to take a shower and cook pasta.

What do you eat/drink after your workout?
