New Toys


It's been a long while since I've updated this. I got my new team CX bike. Basically it's just the money I got from selling my old road bike and most of the parts on the new bike are just borrowed from my cannondale.
I still have the redline together for the most part and it's currently being used as my pit bike.

Van Dessel gin and trombones - commuter set up
I've been doing all my commuting on the new bike. I've got heavy wheels with heavy reflective commuter tires on it right now

I got the new bike built up the night before the first CX race of the season. The bike worked well with no issues. I've got a couple of races and a few practice races on the bike so far.

The other new toy is a video camera that mounts to the handle bars. So far I think I have 3 practice sessions recorded and a lap at the bluff creek trails. The SD card the camera came with only records for 30 minutes, but Coatney found me a 8 GB SD card on Amazon that should be good for an hour and a half.
This is a video from Oct 5th. I'm planning on getting the next few races recorded. I've added a link to my videos on youtube in the upper right corner just below the header picture.

I've got the state road race and 2 CX races that I'm working on doing a race report on here. I guess I'm still trying to digest that last road race.....but I'll post the story soon.
