The weigh in

Well the XFire topped the scales at 16.8 lbs.. not bad for a 56c-c (60 to top) cross bike.. the funny thing is.. its .2 lbs LIGHTER than my Pinarello Paris (granted thats with Cosmic Carbone Power Tap Wheels) The better thing is my Prince topped in at under 15.6 lbs.. extremely light for a 57.5 road frame...

The plan today... duh.. road of course :)

End of season

The weekend plan calls for....

Beating on the Pinarello in Birds Hill Park seeing how its supposed to be +13 out. A week of HARD Computrainer, Crosstastic on the 26th, and then indoor Winter Computrainer starts til March 12 where Ill be hitting the Roads in Maui by about 4PM for 3 weeks...Im finally down to less than 5 months to go!!

To ride or not...

Well seeing how I just scored some Metallica tickets for tonites sold out show... the bike just got chucked to the corner...

Between flying a Metro around, and tonites concert.. I should be deaf by the weekend...

The bear
