so, my old friend andy "the volcano" crater his made his way back to gainesville for some winter training. andy is one of my only old pro racer buddies that is doing it. knowing this you would think i would know better than go on a "spin" with him, but guess i never learn. i knew i was in trouble when we were rolling out of the hood and he told that he was going try and keep his heart rate @ the 150's. it turn into me and my other buddy, lorne, just hanging to andy's wheel for two hour! man that hurt!!!! but i guess it's good for me.
off to nyc/philly for a week and a 1/2. couldn't bring the roll, but i do keep a bike in Brooklyn. so, should still have good (but COLD) bike adventures to share.
andy snapped this after killing for and hour, and then killed me for another hour after.

this is better!
ok, i know that i shouldn't complain, but it was damn cold here in fl the last few weeks! i mean we set a new record for the most day in a row with freezing temps, 12 days!!! it was in the teens at night and 30's in the day.
now it back to the way i like it (well if i have to have a winter. i would love the fla summer a year round if i could) highs are back in the 70's. been ride a lot, on my SS mnt bike , my globe, and my road bike. i have to say the one good thing about that bad weather, is everyone seem to out on there bike the last few days. i wish that there were always this many cute ladies on the bike path! took a ride out the local practices crit yesterday. look like to muck work to me, but i know its fun.

it happens to all of use
we all get flats. it really just sucks when you get one at 8am on a ride your home (still out from the night before). well got 2 bikes to work on, and a lambretta that won't start. this is when its nice to have a big van, and a studio/workshop. no better way to spend a sunday (after a long bday week of parties) than in my studio fixing my rides!
