well spring has come, followed by a few days of summer, cooler today, so I think its still March, judging by the view outside, it could be anything between March and May...
It was a good "winter", of course I say that as the past year has included in some form or other the usual four seasons, but not in any particular order or length that would quantify somewhat usual. March rolled in like a lamb, and has roared into day after day of fantastic warm weather. The snow is all but gone, the roads are good and clear, and the miles are adding up fast on the road bike. My 'classics' ride has been rockin' and rollin' over the rough heaved roads of spring, the fat 27mm Vittoria Pave EVO's are fantastic, but its almost time to pull out the new ride. I will be back on a Kuota this year, but a newer 2010 KOM this time, they generously (surprisingly) replaced my former KOM with a new one (warranty issue). It is a nice white one, and a BB30 bottom bracket, so a new crankset is in order as well. looking forward to testing it out.
I've added a Trek TTX 9.8 to the stable as well, so a few more TT's this year for kicks.
I do feel a big hole missing in the garage however. I am 'cross bikeless at the moment, and despite not needing a bike till September, I almost feel nervous. I'm sure it will be replaced long before the season starts up and ready to roll indeed.
So I'll try and keep on it this spring, but we all know that its much more irregular than cross season...
The Rouleurs are back in action, and next week is the early seaon pre-camp, looking forward to it! Then off to Easter, followed by the first race of the year, the RWR Rockland classic, will kick off what should be another good long season!
nice.
