man, yesterday was nuts. A huge morning dust storm followed by a crazy snow storm, followed by mid-50 degree temperatures. I just wish we would get like 4 feet of snow... Seriously. Just get it over with so it doesn't start cancelling races later in the season. So, right now, it's approaching 60 degrees, and we might see more snow after the almost 70s this weekend.
NORBA season opener was this weekend in Texas. It looked more like West Virginia with all the mud. That stuff sucks. Or state cross championships. I quiver thinking about that. Gosh, mud racing sucks. My fork on my mountain bike is jacked up. It probably has need to be rebuilt 3 times since it was last, but I keep neglecting it. That's always a good ideal, right? I am jonesing for some new bikes. Our team road bikes are starting to arrive. Man, do they look good. I decided to hold out for the cross bike this fall, so I'll still have to ride the good ole Cannondale this season. Not that it isn't a sub-16 lb sweet bike, but new stuff is always nice. Infact, I decided to 86 the Cinelli Ram, cause I know it will shatter if it ever hits the ground. I went with an Easton setup that eneded up being lighter and significantly cheaper. EA70 bar and stem. I was ready to go the Deda route, but the 215 shallows don't suite me and Newton bars are outrageous. So, I ended up paying the same as I would have for a Newton stem for the bar and stem, plus it weights the same. Plus, the big deciding factor is that Easton is a sponsor for us this year...
I have been getting a lot of emails from Jo-Jo from Belgium. She is currently studying in Peru and man does that place look cool. She is tall and complains that the shower head hits her about shoulder height. I also emailed Kate today. She is in Spain and actually is planning a trip to Belgium for her spring break. Man, I am glad I have moountain here, cause I would go nuts in the midwest with everyone else in cool places...
Ok, enough rambling. I'll save some for later.
