new bike!

well the group ride got cancelled this morning due to rain, so i just got some stuff done around the house and then went to class. when i got back to leave for my ride - the weather cleared up- my new bike had arrived, so i forwent the ride and assembled the bike, and its great, about 10 pounds lighter than my dawes. Cant wait to take it out saturday morning, or maybe tomorrow, if i am up early enough.

back in town after my 7 day architecture and drinking binge... went out today for a quick ride to loosen back up for the team group ride tomorrow. will probably be pretty slow, and its supposed to be raining, so i will be miserable, and wet and at the back of the pack. woohoo!

tonights would have been really fast though if it werent for the rush hour traffic. i was cruising along around 20 mph most of the time but kept having to stop for lights and backed up cars...

22 miles today, but took me a while, just didnt feel like doing it i guess. it literally almost took me an hour and half. it got really cool today too, down around 55, which ive never ridden in before, so that likely had something to do with it too im guessing. winter is coming though, and this is my chance to get up to speed with the people who have been racing for a while.

oh yeah, i also got my new glasses today and jersey as well. too bad the jersey is short sleeved...

fixed it!

not my gear ratio, unfortunatly, but i did fix my derailleur finally. took it for a quick spin around the block and she shifts like new.

no ride today though, I had a rough day. i havnt been to bed since monday, and i didnt even sleep well then. i might pay off my bike tonight though, so maybe it will be here in the next week.

also going to set up a formal training sheet tonight, so that should help me keep my mileage on track and monitored, right in time for me to leave town on friday without a bike....

architecture makes cycling hard. I hate trying to go do 25 miles when i feel like shit and am completely run down.

I adjusted my derailleur but it still is slipping at times, i guess i need to keep tinkering, even though i have time.

but i did get some new stuff, which should all be here by thursday or friday morning hopefully, and my bike should hopefully get here early next week. i cant wait to take that for a spin!
