Woke up to rain of course but not the downpour I was expecting. So on with the old orange and blue (3 more weeks!) and off to Ladro in Fremont. I met up with Greg and had a cup of coffee and a chat before heading over to Leschi to meet up with Dustin.
Not much of a team ride if only 3 people show up. I guess weather and cross races factor into that.
I love rides like today. The sun came out and off came the rain jacket, I even pulled my gloves off as the temperature went up in our favor. nice and easy pace full of man-gossip and stories, bsically shooting the shit. This is why I ride. Not the race or the drool inducing hill repeats up Zoo. I love my friends.
So anyway…
Ride- 92 miles
Bike – Klein Performance touring 53-42 x 12-27 Sun wheels
Breakfast – Bagel with turkey and cream cheese, Ensure
Ride Food – 1 large bottle of accelerade, 1 small bottle of water, 1 bag of shot blocks
a few observations… I need a 39. That 42 ain’t gonna cut it. Anyone have a 135 BCD 39 tooth they need to get rid of? Also, I need to put 42 ctc bars on. the 40’s are just way too narrow and I’m pretty uncomfortable.
Time to get to work so I can pay the bills…
