Race Time

New tires, new wheels, quick wash and it's time to race again. This time, no flats.

Gray Wheels - First Impressions

I finally got to ride the new Gray all carbon 50 mm wheels. It took a few minutes to get the brake pads lined up with the brake track.

On the road, the Gray wheels were great. They are lighter than the stock Shimano wheels and handle even better. I didn't have any trouble with crosswind and it will be interesting to see how they perform at Rattlesnake.

Synergy Hybrid

I purchased a Synergy Hybrid wetsuit and I'm really impressed. I'm not experiencing an shoulder fatigue and the suit is fast. I'm exiting the water with the leaders in my age group and I don't feel like I'm working that hard.

Bike to Work

After a few years, I finally biked to work again. I forgot how much fun that is. The van drove down so I can catch a ride back.
