so, last thursday was a local yocal low key 10 mile out and back two man time trail. the locals get their 1000 dollar bikes with their 2500 dollar wheelsets and go like hell for 10 miles.
so, i converted my asylum into time trail mode (pumped the tires up to 65 pounds and locked out the front shock) and headed on down to the race start.
and it was the perfect opportunity to try out some plaid shorts beth at speedgoat gave me awhile back.
race went pretty well - i think the top guys did the 10 miles on the high side of 22 minutes and we came in around 25 minutes. good change of pace.
today - just a long tempo ride in the rain. the moots compact has been riding really well so i have been sticking to that bike a lot as it rides really nice. didn't get it tricked out with the SL tubes as i don't do enough road racing to warrant me getting it. i will say hands down, as far as cross and road frames go, moots has to be my favorite.
well, gotta run - domestic stuff to do today. which, honestly, is hard for me as i pretty much have to write my house projects down in training schedule to make time for it.
later - sologoat out.

Showing to raod TT's on a mtb is always a good time. I plan on doing it here on Wednesday!
Wahoo! Go fat tires go!
ya - it was pretty funny. most of the roadies wouldn't talk to us until after the race when the realized that we beat a lot of them.
good luck this coming wednesday.
