First ride at the new place.

Went today for a ride around Hiram. Definitely a beautiful area to live in. I am hoping to put together a couple day tours around the area,and do some exploring.

Obsession

Over the past few months I have been getting more and more interested in bicycle touring. This is turning into an unhealthy obsession. I have spent the last 3+ hours looking at touring gear and actual bike tours near me. I love it.

Too many good bike races going on.

The Giro and the Tour of California are both going on right now.This makes for an awesome week of Velonews Live Race Coverage at work.

I really abuse this poor blog

I keep saying I am going to post something worthwhile.I am finally going to keep my word and do so.

I just bought "Fast Forward" from Flatlandfuel. Easily the best 50 cents I have spent in my life.I have watched it everyday.Luckily I bought a couple copies...because I might wear this one out soon.

X-7 just went TEN

SRAM is now showing off its newest development, ten speed Sram X-7!

Tire update.

my tires are seeing their last week of service. Next week I willbe riding Continental Grand Prix 4 Seasons in 25c.

I should have my review of the Trek Madone up by the end of the weekend and the Prologo Kappa Saddle.

Quick update

I never get flats,ever.I go out of my way to avoid anything that looks like it might give me a flat. Recently, I have been getting them often. I'm pretty confident its the tires I'm using. They are Bontrager Race Lite tires. They offer zero flat protection,and wear down incredibly fast. (I might have 500 miles on them,and they already look beat down.)

So I'm going to throw those away and get something a little better quality for sure.Zipp Tagente open tubulars or Continental Force.

It's been a while.

Well,its been a while since I last updated this blog.And, tonigh, I have decided I want to kick this into overdrive.So here's whats new.I have switched to road riding,and I have a ton of stuff to review.So I'll start with a couple big items:

Trek Madone 5.2
Bontrager Node 2 computer
Bontrager Race X Lite Shoes
Prologo Kappa Saddle

We will start there.
