You know you shouldn't be riding when you have to warm up your bikes computer to get it started. But, against all good judgement I went out and met Zach for a short ride. Mind you, it was 20 deg. outside this morning! I now understand that the theory of thermic value in clothing is complete BS! I don't care how many layers of tight warm stuff I put on, when that wind hits your face you might as well be naked. With this weather rides get exponentially shorter with today's only being 15 miles compared to my usual 30.
My new Chris King headset just came in, along with the expansion nut for the new carbon steering tube on the Sid. When I get a spare second (probably after the holidays) I'm going to start tearing down the Jamis and slowly upgrading everything. I'm a firm believer that parts don't make you faster, I'm doing this because I am becoming concerned that the older parts may fail soon and I'd like that not to happen in a race. Plus it doesn't help that I've been looking at WeightWeenies. Some of the mtn. bikes just don't look safe, but they all claim to race them.
Might be heading up to Milwaukee for a cross race this weekend! Granted I'll just be watching and drinking free Half Acre. According to Ben the racing up there is great and some real good competition, so we figured it'd be nice to go support him and keep Julie company in the pits.
