Uphill and downhill... my quads hurt so I cut the run short and jumped on my bike.

Snowing out today, so probably no bike ride unless it clears up. I'm totally a far weather cyclist. Looking to run though. I let Ramone out this morning. I couldn't find him. I was calling him and looking around... then just by chance I looked inside a car and there he was, driving my neighbors Sunurban; just sitting there as smug as can be. Made me laugh. And here is a proper picture of my new racing machine...

Rode with my the "Spanish Pro's" from the Bike Service...
Carlos is a sprinter and he set a furious pace down highway 6, I had a tough time staying in his draft this morning. Then we hit the steep 4 mile climb up Cordillera where I thought I was going to get my ass handed to me. Ciro and Carlos were hammering and for the first two miles I just hung on. Eventually Ciro pulled away and Carlos dropped off (climbing is not his specialty) and I started to groove. for about 3/4 of mile the hill goes from about 8% to about 12% and that is where I made my move. I caught Ciro and then put over 100 meters on him by the top. That felt good! After that we rode down to Wolcott and again, Carlos just hammered. I actually got dropped for a bit then worked my ass off to catch up. We rode up I-70 to Avon into a huge headwind. A killer ride.

One complaint about my Cervelo. The drive train is set up for a pussy and I spin out easily. I don't have an RPM censor on this bike but I know I average over 100rpm's compared to 80 on my tri bike (tri bike: 54/42 x 23/12). The Cervelo came with a 50/34 x 26/13... totally not going to work for me. I have decided to replace the cassette with a 23x11 and hopefully this will be better. One thing about Campy Record, freaking expensive. Anyway, I have a 26 x 13 Campy Record 10 speed cassette with about 300 miles on it. If anyone wants this great climbing cassette, let me know cuz I'll need to eBay it if not.

20-30 mph headwinds on the way home. Quads are still sore but better than yesterday. Interestingly, my ankles and feet which were sore prior to Boston feel great.
