More Racing Stuff



Brett Walker blogs about his win at Sebring 12/24.

Local racer Omer Kem was in the break for 140 km in today's stage of the Tour of California.

But much closer to home, I picked up our Meridian tandem from The Bike Peddler today. Eric installed a 12-27 Dura-Ace cassette and changed the 30 tooth inner chain ring down to a 26 tooth. The idea is to have smaller gear jumps and yet retain "granny". By the way, while at the shop, we put it on the scale and it came in at 34.5 lbs with pedals and water bottle cages. Then, once I got the tandem home, I install a set of Syntace SLS aerobars. The bike is now ready for Sunday's Jack Frost Time Trial. Now, if the weather forecast would only improve (Showers likely. Highs 45 to 50).
