Food and Tea

Had to do 4 repeats on Base Hill today. Did it in a snow storm.

The road surface.

Last one

Then it was home for food and tea. The get to the gym for weights.

Pedals Pedals

And so the continuing upgrades continue.

Today made the decision I need some better flat pedals. And not just anyone's, I'm talking about the old school shin masher Suntour types. With lots of surface area.

More later.

Fun of Winter

Been pretty much the same old thing for the last 2 weeks. Same old training and riding in snow.




I'll feel better in a day or two.

Fun Filled Days

Was looking at some pic's today someone sent me about Afghanistan. Specifically cycling in Afghanistan and the Afghan Cycling Federation.

Errands

The eating plan put together with the C&F team is working. Should be able to meet the training goals by March.

After yesterdays 2 hours on the trails in the snow storm I'm taking today to do errands on the bike. Then hitting the weights later on.

Have some new parts on the way fro the Mistress. Some heavy fork springs and an old school DCD. More on that later. And of course working on getting the finances together for the seatpost.

Hit the trails in Collins with -22 conditions. Required some extra layering and not really stopping. but still a good 90 minute ride.





Another pic of the Mistress.

After thinking about it during my ride I have made the decision to buy the Sette seatpost in Febuary. This should be a good piece of kit.

The Office Chair

Found some seatpost info that has piqued the interest of the cheap and frugal team. It appears that Pricepoint.com has a seat post from Sette that shouild fit nicely with my requirements. It's cheap and it seems that it will work. And I can get it for less then $100 CDN and that is important as money is a bit tight right now.

So now just need to raise the capital to take care of this.

Was thinking today while perusing Chapters and the cycling books how over complicated things have become. So much energy is wasted on HRMs and such when most people either can't afford them or want them. The emphasis is less on just trying things out and more on following some set formula. Seems a little boring.
