it's 25 degrees and i feel cold

the temps have now lowered into the mid 20's, low 30's here in ohio, but the snow is still not packed up too much. rides that used to take two hours round trip are now taking 3 hours due to the ice build up and temps.

starting to sneak in my first longer rides of the year, jumping off the bike only for drink and when the feets gets cold.

in bike news, dan the man and chris has come up with two magic tricks to lighten up the stans/dt wheel builds - sapium spokes and ceramic cartride bearings. guess dt actually makes a "190" hub, but it is basically the 240 with the ceramic berarings. with the sapiums and new bearings, we are guesstimating another 50-100 grams of rotatinal weight savings.



Princeton Tec has come on for 2007 as my lighting sponsor with their new SWITCHBACK SERIES of lighting systems. 3 different systems in this line up with long run times. I'll be testing the switchback 2 and 3 in the upcoming days and deciding on which one to run for the season.



then, on the bar, we may be running their YUKON series light. running on 3 double a batteries, this system also sports long run times and comes in at around 220 grams.

that's it, gotta run. actually have some Yukon blend starbucks coffee just brewed up.

sologoat out.
