Getting closer

Finally..... getting closer to that end of the tunnel that is the start of the 2011 race season....a little over 2 weeks.
Since we are getting down to the wire, the workouts have picked up nicely. I'm still on my tues. through thurs. intensity sessions and weekend longer rides workout like I've done the last few years. Why change something that has worked good so far, right? All the riding has still been on skinny tires, just a bit too damp to venture off-road yet. Saturdays ride, for example, was a little 50 mile, 3hr jaunt that had almost 4,000 ft of climbing. Who said KS/MO was flat? Riding those rollers all day will kick your ass! I know, I speak from experience.
I have the One9 all back together and ready to rock. Changed my tires to the Specialized Renegade/control in a 1.95 front and rear. The Ergon grips are off and replaced with the ESI chunky. I'm also changing the saddle to the Spec. Phenom, but waiting to get my BG Fit done by Jeremy at the shop, then it'll go on. FIT? That's right, I've never had a fit done on any of my bikes. I'm hoping Jeremy finds some stuff to tweak and I find some more speed and power! Everyone I've talked to that's had a fit done has really been pleased with the results.
Last Thursdays open house at work was a HUGE success. We had over 300 people in the shop, and judging by how fast we ran out of beer(2 kegs and 14 cases of Blvd. brew) everyone had a good time. Ned was in the house mingling and such, along with guys from Spec. and Saris. The Saris rep. brought his Cycleops trainer/margarita maker. If you wanted some, you had to pedal a pretty good pace to run the blender....you had to see it to believe it. If I remember, I'll get a picture of the set up. We still have it at the shop......for thirsty thursdays!
Oh, and the Kid Rock concert this weekend! Hittin' that fo' sho'!
