Just getting my day underway. I rode pretty hard yesterday in a manner that was reminiscent of spin class. Still love my Cannondale Six13. It just rails so fast as if it is on a Divine Wind.
But enough about road biking, I haven't drank a single beer since Saturday. I know it doesn't sound like much but it is a small victory considering that I knocked back quite a few while I was unemployed. The bike shop is helping me along with my life. Gave me an anchor to work from. Sometimes that's what you have to do.
The Vandy is almost done. All Sram XO, Stans wheelset, tubeless, carbon to the max. It is going to break the 25lb mark, however it is definitely not going to weigh much more. Maybe 26lbs. I can't wait to get it out on the trail. Seeing it come together has given me a great deal of personal satisfaction. Crazy to think it will travel with me from West Virginia to Hawaii this year with me. I love this bike so much. It is honestly like I finally got the exact bike I want. Rare, special, and built for me. The only question mark on my mind is the gearing. I think I can handle the super hard setup but no doubt the likes of the Breckenridge 100 could change that. All the other races on my schedule don't really bother me with this setup.
So in less than 2 weeks, I plan to call up a friend or two and go out to take Vandy on it's maiden voyage. I am thinking it should be an epic ride like a day at Buffalo Creek or something totally new. Either way, it's gotta be special.

Maybe a trip down to Pueblo would be in order. And Buffalo Creek is always a good time.
