was what i was thinking today after about 4 hours of a 5.25 hour ride.
late start today, as i was feeling super lazy and was waiting for it to warm up a little. started off the ride with some trail riding as i thought the powdery snow wouldn't be too bad. wrong.
4-5 inches of snow in some spots, so after an hour, i hit the road. nothing crazy, steady medium tempo work on the hills around the akron area. up, down, flat, repeat. first two hours i had to deal with a head wind, the last 3.25 hours i was blessed with a tail cross wind. somebody must of had mercy on me today.
came home, ate some leftovers and drank some heavenly starbucks house blend. yummy.
BREAKING NEWS FOR SPEEDGOAT:
upon immediate arrival of two very special boxes, a phone call was placed immediately to my cell phone.
special box #1 - LIMAR HELMETS
picked up two 909 yellow helmets. review to come after arrival.
special box #2 - LIGHTS IN MOTION
i am suuuuuuuuuuuuuper excited about this one - picked up two of the VEGA lights, which is the latest greatest light out from lights in motion. about the size of a small egg, weighing in at just a hair over 200 grams, and lasting 2 hours on full beam (up to 8 hours depening on your settings) these babies are going to be sweet backup lights. oh, and extra bonus - charge time on these little gems are only an hour and a half. this system is LED - and the rumor circulating around is that HID is on the way out. yep - eventually, the LED will be to the point that HID's will be no more. according to my dad, the bulbs do not burn as hot as the HID lights, allowing for a much smaller battery.
that's it for now - sologoat out

Yep, HID is on the way out. The new LED light from Cateye they the Cateye Enduro Team is supposed to race on and test this season is hell-a crazy. About half the price of the high end $500 HID systems. Stay tuned.
Tifosi to show this week!!!! Yipee!!!
