144 and then some.

I opted for the reverse 144 today on the colnago SS with a 42x15. Now this might be a good gear come...say warmer weather... but today it was a knee buster. The wind was bad heading west - the legs are still getting used to riding a lot but can you argue with this weather? NO. So...if you had the chance to exercise today and you did it indoors - you had better have a good reason...Neil - I know you had good reasons..

I feel I did good today - the gear is heavy and actually 1 tooth heavier than when the Cannondale was a single speed...and a few pounds heavier of course. good training bike. not a good race bike.

so I ended up with 10.5 hours of riding this week - was shooting for 12 but hey...this aint bad and 5.5 was outside.

cheers...and if you have NOT eaten at Q Fanatic - go there -its great. John...you told us all it was GREAT a long time ago - I will be eating there more.

andy where are you man, well somebody ask me if i knew you, and before i said yes, i ask why, and the reason was that you were goig riding with a friend of a co-worker, and the question was is he fast, and i said, you bet he is, so i dont know how the history ended, becuas i ask the guy who ask me if i knew you, how was the ride and he didn't know, i hope you understand what im trying to said, but good to hear you are riding a lot

between blog/FB and job / family etc...its nice to take a break I guess...priorities...well, now that riding is upon me more - i feel like it is summer again and lots to talk about. Jorge - i kinda get what you said...was it Joe Schlosser? He said he knew you when I talked with him - if so - he is doing RAAM with us.
