Arsbars.comThe Real Arleigh Jenkins

As the gf commented I can now return to my scheduled blogging. I’m sad that she is gone, but I tend to become a bum during the time she is visiting.

Another weekend of racing is done with for the Sir Edmond Series. The turn out was great, probably even better than last week!! I’m hoping by next week we will have built up the Titus I’ll be riding this next year. More info later once I figure out what all is going on it.

The shop is staying pretty busy for the end of January. Nothing too bad, but it could always be busier. We have been rearranging for the past week and it is finally starting to sort out. The showroom is more open, and the coffee bar was moved into the showroom and out of the shop. I kind of miss it but there is a much more open feeling now.

A lot of things are up in the air right now from riding to work. Hopefully the end of the week will bring some closure and feeling of comfort. Havent been getting as much saddle time as I would like but that time will come.

I haven’t forgotten.

I’ll get back to the writing come tomorrow afternoon.

Jeannie came Saturday morning and surprised me!! I’m a bit busy till she leaves tomorrow morning.

Till then.

As I stated in my last post I finally hooked up cable at my new apartment. Since yesterday my feedburner has been working overtime finding all the blogs I have been neglecting. There are many new reviews on various geeky bike gadgets. Long epic tales of everyones mid winter base training.

My top ten :

1. 2006 LED Light Review via GearReview – I think I’ll start refering customers to that link. There is no way I would ever be able to test out everyone of those lights and remember every detail that is layed out in the article.
2. Continental Trainer Tire – My Grand Prix 4 Seasons can get eaten alive on the trainer. A somewhat cheap alternative. If they work and don’t spew rubber all over my wall I’ll let you know.
3. Cohutta 100 Miler – Somewhat local to Charlotte – 100 miler. The forums have been saying it is a lot like the SM100 up in VA. Maybe I could get away with doing the 35 miler.
4. Team Dicky Blog – A local rider/customer that rocks the SS hard. Sports the Blacksheep jersey damn well.
5. Gurlz on Bikes – No explaination needed.
6. MTBCast – Podcast? No MTBCast!! Only listened to one, but seems like a good idea. Podcast entertain me while I’m one the trainer.. so good ones are great for me.
7. Mountain Turtle Market – Support Kent, buy good things. Win win. Also check out his blog that’s goodness too.
8. 24 Hours of Pisgah – Will the Blacksheep Womens Team be ready?
9. Burn 24 - I know tons of races but they are somewhat local to Charlotte.
10. Ali did another Marathon – Last but most important. Good job Ali, maybe next time you’ll train again??
