04.01.05 - the real post of the day....

hey all - been a pretty nutty week both riding and working. things are a' changing at work. long story, but it's all good.

gettting in a ton of miles this week, right on schedule as planned. weather looks iffy for tomorrow, so i may have to change some things up.

my secret prayer to mother nature:
please, oh please let me get in my hours tomorrow. i promise i will not swear at you anymore, but me and my riding buddies are in dire need of mileage and hours. we fear whistler and need as much training in as humanly possible. thank you.

enough silliness....

great news - the guys over at FSA hooked me up. dan the man (my main mechanic at the 'goat) got me: two sets of SLK Carbon MegaExo cranksets, two K-Force Lite carbon seatposts, and two K-Force XC Riser handlebars. sweet.

vega light has been working good - though, when the battery starts to go, it switches from the 4 watt to the 2 watt automatically. how much battery life is left when it does that, i don't know. think i am going to charge her up fully one night and just for giggles, turn it on and start my heart rate monitor stop watch. i'll post results next week. and, dan the man also says that the vega should be able to be hooked up to the helmet, but you may need to play around with the mounts.

and - don't know how many of you out there are using HR monitors. been using the SIGMAS for years and i just can't get any consistancy out of them. thinking of the cateye, the polars or the ciclosport. siding on the ciclosport because it has some really cool features, but it is a little pricey.... was wondering what y'all have been using out there....

and finally - think i am going to see SIN CITY tonight. flick looks friggin' awesome. if you haven't seen the trailers, check them out. WIRED MAGAZINE just did a nice write up on it too. just speaking on purely cinematic terms - it looks awesome.

probably not as awesome looking as carbon FSA cranks, but still awesome....

i'm pumped - it is friday, i have some good rides in this week, and i just drank some starbucks expresso and i am completely wired.

rock on.

sologoat out.
