jay winter challenge
the cold air hasn't had me too fired-up to ride outside the past cpl wks, but slowly working my way back onto the pain machine and getting the commute time in when in boston, but it's just not enough, need those 3-4hr rides. talking about pain, i need a new saddle for the indoor, the boys keep falling asleep which can't be good for, you know... so, that being said, the studded tires are going on the steel deluxe for some spinning on the snow and ice covered dirt roads in and around the valley. hopefully i can some decent base in my legs before the pre-season has passed me by...
after a few email conversations with my favorite french canadian, it looks like the first race of the season will be a lot sooner than i thought. i've been resisting the urge to race the freeze-your-ass-of epic that is the jay winter challenge, but dan's offer to let me ride his brand-new Pugsley made-up my mind. with an offer like that, how could i refuse!? it's on like donkey kong! now i just have to convince andy and thom to roll... oh yeah, thom will be in Cali, doing his base. cheater! (that's just me being insanely jealous)... just need to find andy a bike to race on while his Igleheart is in paint... can't wait to see the new paint job! which has me thinking 'bout painting the steel deluxe for this season, it got wicked beat-up last yr, i just can't seem to stay on two wheels... and plain green was so '06... what color to go with for '07? big decisions...
