Rick

Linda's doing well. She's been putting in a lot of road miles and riding a weekly TT. She's also been mountain biking with a group of women on the Cape to "get her mojo back" and has started using her 'cross bike on those rides, since I put some really fat rubber on it. It remains to be seen how she feels in races, but I suspect that she'll get caught up in the moment and forget about her injuries.

Finished it up last night. It sure rides nicer than the Salsa did. And has a more neutral steering response.
I would go as far as to say it rides very well.

Considering how similar they are on paper GEO wise.

20 lb with the Ralphs and 747 MTN Pedals.

These Canti's are the best I have used bar none.

Pic with road wheels, and CX Ralphs

I guess I finally got my orange now that I think about it. Some, anyway...

The orange does a cool glow late in the day when the sun is going down. I looked over yesterday for across the street talking to a neighbor and it way a mango pop. I am starting to like the looks of it. I really had no opinion of the color, just ran after the price for something I can bend and not loose sleep over pretty much.

I do find I am liking the Orica green edge cannondales as far as tutti frutti goes colors wise. ;) This one is like those but orange instead of the green sorta kinda. ;)

Did a 22 mile road ride with Elaine on the TCX. 28C Conti GP4 AllSeas. It makes a good road bike I will say. I fear it may be a touch big for CXing, but we will see...


I have been using the 28C [and 25c] on 23mm wide rims for a while. Except today the wheels on the TCX. It is a difference I noticed more going from than to using the wider rims I'd say
