Good week so far. Trying to work out some wheels for this upcoming cross season. We will see how things pan out with that. Im also working on doing a purchase for some more cyclocross tubulars. Check back for some updates.

summary of today:

And...

It was a marathon...

done.

I think I started my addiction to tubular tires the other day. Ive reconsidered my component choices over the past two years and decided that for the money ultegra and 105 are blangin. However there is one condition to this. You must have tubulars and a collection of carbon wheels. Im working on another set of carbon wheels. Currently I've asked a few manufactures who make wheelset that come in 50mm and 85mm if I can purchase rim only. My plan would be to run the 85mm wheels on the road during road season and have two sets of 50mm for cyclocross. If the price is right this should work. Who here has seen 105 hubs on carbon rims?

Up next is the tubular collection. I just got in a 32c dugast that is in neen of a repair, so I will do that. I also just purchased a set of dugasts in 30c. I have my vittorias. And if the carbon wheels work out I will buy a set of vittoria pave 24c for racing on the road. blang blang blanging.

I'm recovering well from sugery the other day, I went down and played a little basketball.

Car shopping this past week went alright it is kinda down between the Subaru WRX and a Volvo s40 leaning more toward the Volvo becuase of praticality. so here is is...

it has some potential.

Done

....back! surgery went well, my incision is healing up well and I have my one week checkup tomorrow. Lisa came over for two days after my surgery, she brought ballons and candy it was very nice to see her. I've been hanging out on the couch most of the week working with sales videos for work this summer.
here are some updates to my cross bike:


New BBB pad holders that carry road pads. change your pads with out having to adjust the posts on your brakes!
Cutout saddle for my gooch... I've got three more of them in the mail.

done!

A couple new updates!

Went for my first ride in almost 6 months the other day. It was fun, got out for a spin of about an hour or so, all the gooch could take right now. It was about 50 degrees or so. I rode the cross bike.

Up next, my car is on its way out right now and my parents and I are looking for a ride for school and summer. Im thinking 04' Subaru Impreza WRX. we will see. That is all.

Done.

Cartoon from this weekend. Lisa and I made it on the train.

I did 30 minutes on the trainer today. I feel pretty good and im up from 20 minutes I was doing last week. gooch strength.

Done.

Dahh its 2:26AM and I am up becuase I have slept so much today. I woke up at 10:30 then got on a train with McGoots from boston at 12. Slept for prolly 2 more hours. I worked on My schedule for this cross season and as it works out there may be a few road trips. vermont and long island included. IF my gooch agrees this time around I will also e flying the colors at the NJ usgp race in the B men field. Tomorrow I am gonna ride the trainer some and do some resistance training at the gym after I took the whole weekend off in boston. Lisa and I made a funny comic on her compute on the trainride back from the pictures taken on the trip so watch out for that here or there hopefully tomorrow.

Anybody have any good recommendations for 28 spoke hubs? Im lacing my campy montreal rims up so I can have file treads incase we actually get some snow this coming season.

it's 2:32
done.

I really haven't posted here in a while but I think im going to start again. As lame as it sounds this thing helps you train. It gives you routine that you can follow and track/log your training. Right now im back on the bike after several crazy things happened since september. First off I was not able to bring a bike to college. While I was home for thanksgiving I jacked up my urethra/gooch area on a cyclocross ride with nig nug. A week went by and peeing felt funny. Then I had urgency and frequency and I was way out of wack. Went to the doctors and he didnt know what was going on. I couldnt pee for like 3 weeks it was crazy. Found out that I had crushed my urethra with the saddle and after a proceedure and some antibiotics for the UTI I was back to normal.

The scare came when my doctor in Albany said no more bikes...AT ALL. Then I went for a second and third opinion and by 2/3 vote im riding again. In the meantime I met lisa, my girlfriend of the last 5 months. Its been a great time since school started with friends and relationships and for once...grades.

Ive been riding the trainer and doing some resistance training. Im writing all of my own training programs with the guidance of the programs i used to follow an online articles. I find I have so much more fun and even feel stronger on the bike when i work how I feel and how I want to train.

I sold my chorus grouppo that I was using on the road and I think im going to be buying 2 new centaur grouppos for matching cannondale cross bikes. I will do most of my training on those bikes and by the time next cross season comes hopefully ill have matching bikes. One single ring and one double. The CAAD 9 I have is getting buld up with the grouppo thats on my cross bike now and that frame will be sold. Cannondale Optimo Cross frame anyone???? 56cm!

moral of the story I will be posting more so check out my blog more often...
