Searching Salsa Casseroll

Coffee Commuter - Salsa Casseroll

(download)
I've had the above Salsa Casseroll for many years. It has been many things, from road bike, to fixie, to commuter in many forms. Currently it is my "pit bike" at the office for when I have time to ride to coffee or lunch.

Recently, I received the newer re-done Salsa Casseroll for review. Vastly different bikes, I look forward to riding them back to back now!

Commute Home Tonight

[gallery link="file" order="DESC" columns="4"] A crazy, crazy, busy day at the shop.  The commute home, with a light drizzle, was exactly what I needed.

Killing Cars and Winning Time

Commute is in full effect every day. Lights charging, blinky lights checked and happy to say that I'm rolling. Limited time and more important roles have kept me off the CX bike this fall. Rocking the Casseroll and full fenders thanks to the rain all week.

Race Day

I skipped a day somehow in there.  Meaning to post last night, but time went by quickly and I lost my energy to write at all. [gallery order="DESC"] Last night I hit up the "off road" commute home.  If I make a turn down an old gravel road, it allows me to ride next to the railroad tracks and then next to Lowe's Corporate Headquarters.  During rush hour this is a key move so that I'm not upsetting car drivers sitting in bumper traffic on a 2 lane road as I fly by.  The ride is also more enjoyable and seems to shave time off. I also swapped my flat bars off the Casseroll to put back on the Misfit Fu2Bar.  I'm really contemplating wrapping the whole bar to make more hand positions available. Review of the Fu2Bar coming!

Bike Rides

[gallery order="DESC" orderby="post_name"] Have been able to squeeze in a few good rides in the past week.  Between commuting and little loops around Mooresville/ Davidson area it's been a good week.  Working on my cycling tan, and also working on getting rid of the cycling tan while out on the boat/pool!  Hope to get in another decent loop this morning after I run errands into Charlotte.
