Got the “new” road bike for training. I name all my bikes and this one I am naming: Fugly.

I got the fork for the Roaming Soma fixed, er, straightened. This is a Reynolds 631 fork which was replaced by a Taange Fork. I like a complete bikes so this thing is going right back on there.

Training training training.

The show last night was awesome!! I had a blast and was up until like 4 talking to Chris about the rock we had. It was very cool. I can’t wait until show #3.

hmmm, maybe that is something to look for online today…

a road bike…who would have thought? certainly not I.

too much time on the trainer…legs need chillin

We watched “Inglorious Basterds” and went one and half hours at a nice 18 mph.

After three days with a cold? Ugh, I feel like ass after 20 miles.

from san diego…awesome

I went to the season ender for Thursday’s at the Major Taylor Velodrome and had a blast. Lara tagged along and Matt from Turin was there. It was a good time racing after three weeks off. Felt good and would be doing the two day event this weekend had I planned ahead better. And the final count is, racing with the CAT4s as a CAT3:

Race 58, 25.03 flying lap.
Race 59 no place, scratch race, bars came loose at the beginning had a rough start.
Race 60, 3rd place, points race.
Race 61, 6th, Miss n’ Out
Race 62, 6th place, points race.

And for my 2009 track season, fin.
