The combination of an awful winter and being signed up for an early season race (Battenkill) is a dousy. I had enough foresight, though, to sign up for an indoor trainer class to keep me honest. Jorge over at E3 Training, www.e3ts.com, has held a class every Wednesday this winter over at Landry's on Commonwealth Avenue. Our last class is this week and we are doing a 20 minute power test to see if we achieved any real gains from the first weeks test. I feel better, but hopefully in a few days I can come back and say I AM better.
I am in the back with the teal towel. |
I've taken the free time that I now have so much of since I haven't been doing a long ride every weekend to add some bling to the bike. I added a pair of red colored brake calipers that match my frame color almost perfectly. Sean nicknamed my bike the Red Rocket as a result. I like it and think I will stick with it in the future. It's not as awesome as my cross bikes nickname, Uncle Ron, but it works. I also gave the bike some ink, VeloInk. I opted to put them on the chainstays to break away from the norm........and because my top tube is shaped weird.
I cleaned the dirt off already, don't say anything. |
