windy days in ohio



the wind has been hellish the last few days in ohio, but at least it's starting to warm up a little. hit a high of around 42'ish today. i swear this weather is driving me nutz.

asylums are getting rebuilt so i am giving a shout out to all those who have stepped up and have helped getting things together:

dan the man
pretty much is the only person who has ever worked on my bikes and they have worked flawlessly throughout my 24 hour racing career with speedgoat. mucho thanko.

genuine george
has built all of wheels for the past 7 seasons - cross, road and mountain. he's currently in process working up some magic with some dt 190 hubs and stans rims for the 2007 bikes.

jeremy
has super rad tat's, mad skillz on a bike and a wealth of knowledge about the industry. he's also helped tracked down parts that were out of stock everywhere that we needed for the current builds, got my clothing in line and helped with sponsors for the past two seasons. he's pretty much the team director for the one man team of asylum cycles.



one of the new tifosi optics glasses i will trying out this year with be the
TIFOSOI KILO's. so far, they are working out great - removable lenses, nice wide glass with interchangeable lenses. retail price is 50 dollars which comes with 3 lenses and a case. sweet.

i'll be using the kilo's this year along with the quam 1.5's and my all time favorite the Q3's.

in training tools, i am debating on picking up a GARMIN EDGE 305. i'm hearing good stuff about it and i figure that it may be a good tool to use during my business travels - i can download training routes off the web making it a little easier to get a good ride in.

with that, gotta run.

sologoat out.

Ernie; you can read my review of it....it's a good traveling tool but a poor training tool....my $.02 worth.
