I survived my first cross race of the season. It's always fun breaking in the season at almost 10,000 feet above sea level in Breckenridge. I managed top 20, which is my best result in a few years and left a lot in the reserves. My back was killing me by the end, so I have my work cut out this year.
I went to Winter Park this weekend for Stephanie's Birthday. Todd let us stay at his place and it was beautiful. I rode my cross bike on trails that were not made for cross bikes. It was fun none the less.
Easton finally came through and I got my hands on some great wheels. I had no interest in carbon wheels, and there isn't a ton of other choices. The EA70x is a new alloy tubular with cross/crit racing in mind. Durable before light, I am stoked to race on them. The glue is drying as I type and I am going to play around with the glue/tufo tape combo. I have some Tufo Elite LPS that have been hanging around in my basement waiting to be glued. Next weekend, they'll be ready.
