3 hr drive for a 40 min race?

6 hr round trip.

Tough call on that race for down here but those up there certainly must appreciate something that close.

Looking at the Zanc Farewell tour list got me thinking a bit more about which races...

9/8-Quad CX
9/28-Deer Farm (3hr drive away)
10/12-Mansfield Hollow
10/13-MRC
10/16-Crosstobeerfest
11/2-Cheshire (never done it also CT also far)
11/17-Putney (raced only once before and not single speed - maybe this year?)
11/30-Secret Squirrel
12/14-Ice Weasels

also listening to this right now - writing this and emailing and making next week look stupid crazy like this week.

Got some super fun bits of stuff to use and talk about. Some Topeak stuff, a couple tools and a pump. A really nice floor pump. Having a smart head is nice - esp with both the kids with schrader valve tired bikes and that ancient Silca Super Pista being a pain to fill those up. Gauge is nice and big and easy to read. #preparetoride #Topeak def prepared to ride now. Which pump? The Joeblow Pro X

Going to have to use it to get the Klein up and running for tonight's smackdown.

Also got an Elite cage and bottle. Over all the years and years riding, this is the first elite bottle/cage I've had. The Cannibal isn't so much the lightest or the coolest they make but the NAME MAN! THE NAME - perfect for me doing the TT ala Cannibal style. But it looks like maybe there's a fork kicking around that can revive the paramount. Maybe not this week but soon.

The pocket tools from Topeak are also cool but, they are also in the "man I hope I don't have to use them" category, but at least finally I have a chaintool in the seat bag. But one of the tools is this one and I might have to make an excuse to play with the torque wrench on it sooner than later.

No shill - just evaluate - feedback and review if I feel like it. I'll start here - maybe throw up a highlight reel for some stories on IG - who knows. Now I have to get back to wrapping shit up so I can ride bikes.

Storm has blown over, roads are drying out. But it is cool. Not thursday last week cool but close. Already down to 65F in places. Keeping in mind it was close to 100 two days ago, these swings are crazy.

Also 65 feels really cold right now. Not sure if I should go knee warmers and arm warmers for Smackdown tonight or not! crazy, Maybe I need to do long sleeve skinsuit on smackdown so I can be more aerodynamic! Maybe not.

Okay - must get moving if I'm gonna make it there on time!
