60

rode 60miles this morning, bonked hard and had a rough ride, still managed to hold down a 20mph average pace though, so not too bad for a solo ride with a ton of wind. i plan on taking it easy this week, will maybe get out for a short jaunt on wed, but other wise im gonna rest and get ready for the 24hrs of Wassau this weekend. im looking forward to the race, should have a great team.

CAMPY!!!

Hung out with Krunklak last night and got the campy hook up. Veloce 10spd rear derailleur. American Classic 10spd cassette, campy spaced, but shimano splined. now i just need the 10spd guts for my Chorus shifter, chain, and the GSR will be good to go.

In other news, i almost lost my eye Sunday night at murphy. doctor said that had the injury been 1/16 of an inch higher and id have a glass eye. the crash really put things into perspective for me. don't get me wrong, im still gonna get back on the bike, with a few minor modifications. i keep telling my self to cut my bars shorter. well its gonna happen finally. had they been shorter, this wouldn't have happened in the first place. the other thing is that i am no longer going to ride alone. its just stupid. seems like the only time people ever get hurt on their bikes, is when they are by them selves. in the mean time, enjoy a photo of me shortly after getting 4 stitches to hold my lower eye lid together.

Dans GSR lives Again.

So a while back Dan hooked me up with a GSR Zucherro road frame set with some campy stuff on it. my plan was to hold out and save up some money to get it running but i couldn't wait. this bike is the total bastard child of all road bikes. campy cranks and bottom bracket, campy front brake, campy left shifter, campy front derailleur shimano, yup thats right SHIMANO, right shifter, shimano rear derailleur, cassette, and chain. shimano rear wheel, bontrager front wheel. and some various cockpit components. sadly i have no photos. i inaugurated the bike tonight with a 60 mile road ride. i feel great after wards, some thing i couldn't say about my old frame that was too big for me and set up as 1x9.
