Keep On Rocking

Weekend full of motivational highlights and lots of rain. Saturday : Matthew's football team won their football game in the rain. Sarah came in 10th overall women in the ITU World Duathlon Championship, in the pouring rain. The same place I witnessed a horrendous bike crash of a talented women from Washington, DC. Taking her out of the race and temporarily out of her dream chase. With our jeans still soaking wet we enjoyed wings from Hooters. Sunday : Early morning for Rambling Rose. An amazing triathlon for women only. All shapes, sizes, ages and skill level. If that isn't motivation I don't know what is.

Video/CX

I'm not sure what is more beautiful in this, the video or what the guy is videoing.

Spinnage

My weekly ride with triathletes have made me realize the technique of my pedal stroke has become more of a hammer than a butterfly. Goal for this winter = bring back my cadence and grace. Many bikes to fix in the morning. Making the 1x1 back to a mountain bike instead of a cruiser, fixing up the Casseroll with its rain shoes.

Follow Friday

List of daily inspiration for the past week:

Making me feel like I don't ride enough daily, the level of photography and words-man-ship is amazing.

Guitar Ted Productions. My buddy up in Iowa keeping everyone informed on 29er wheels and news.

When I have time to go epic, it's with Where On Earth Is Bill

Cervelo P4 Di2

For the past few months the shop has slowly been getting in parts for the greatest bike of the year. This bike would be the Cervelo P4 with Di2. Dual control shifting at the brake and aero bars, Zipp 1080 wheels, Shimano Pro bars, SRM crank. No holds on this one. Beautiful, magical and probably the coolest bike you'll see right now. More photos over yonder. [flickr album=72157622319523726 num=10 size=Small]

BMX Bikes are Landing

There is no hiding the fact that I've been trying to "rip it up" at the local BMX track. Our 8 year old has really gotten into it, and the fact that I've been helping everyone out there with mechanical help too. The shop has allowed me to pull in a small order of Redline bikes to see if we can get some kids out in a new sport. So let's take a look at what we'll have in this coming Thursday.
