  1. # Castle. What was in the stolen messenger bag? Off the top of my head nuclear launch codes or Dick Cheney's soul on the way to the devil.
  2. Today would have been my Mom's 70th birthday. I've spent time a lot of today realizing how lucky I was to have her in my life. Miss you mom!
  3. When you get older, studying makes you realize how LITTLE you know rather than how much you know.
  4. Final spec on the new ride. Roubaix frame-carbon and red. Rival with 172.5 cranks, Mavic Ksyrium wheels. Maybe Qrotors too.Thoughts anyone?
  5. @bicycletherapy Dude you are WAY upscale from me. I'm getting a Comp Roubaix with Rival and Mavic wheels. I DREAM about Sworks and Zipps!
  6. @JoePraino That's the way I'm leaning-probably Ksyriums...good but budget oriented.
  7. Question to the crowd: Mavic Ksyrium or Specialized Roval Fusée SL 25 wheelsets or something else???
  8. Bad news: The Specialized Roubaix I order is 2-3 months out. GOOD NEWS: They are sending a frame so I can build what I want ground up!!!
  9. After 47 years, it's nice to sit a minute and reflect how blessed I am with faith, family, friends and a sport I love. Kind of humbling...
  10. I miss my beautiful wife on her birthday today. At least she's in Denver where it should be pretty today-SNOW.
  11. Tomorrow is order the new bike day (from the factory-gotta love the "new bike smell") I love the smell of carbon fiber and tires in the AM!
  12. I survived the NC St Fair this Sat, I totally don't get "it", but the kids had fun. I found out Scott CR1's '10 delivery in MARCH? Reboot...
  13. Why does seasonal change always seems to bring colds and flu? I hate feeling this way. Maybe some race nutrition and/or drink will help?!!
  14. My bike shoot out winner is the Scott CR1, SRAM Rival & Mavic Krsyrium Elite! The '10 versions are even hotter than what I rode yesterday!
  15. I am test riding new bikes. The Giant Defy Adv rode sort of like a Volvo, Specialized Tarmac, Roubaix and Scott CR1s next Thoughts anyone?
  16. Hmmm I guess I forgot to clarify whether my 9:00 phone call was my time or Central time...DOH!
  17. No riding since Sunday, when does the soccer treadmill end? NOT SOON ENOUGH! My bike is showing age though from extreme use..need a new one!
  18. Off to the LBS, my last ride ended with a trashed rear tire. I hope there is a special place in Hell for people who litter metal objects!
  19. Ok time to freaking mount up & ride! I haven't gone since Monday-damn soccer schedules and weather! Don't ANYONE get between me & my bike!!!
  20. 8 years ago today at 9:00 AM EDT, I was on a 757 emergency landing "somewhere in Arkansas". I ended up in Little Rock not San Jose CA.
