Spring is already here?!

Time sure does fly, and I suddenly realized in the past several days that I still have a blog.  Yes, I think it is entirely goofy and probably a waste of time, but I think it will make for entertaining reading many years from now.

New since my last post is two new bikes!  I got two more Cannondale rigs, so I now have three Cannondale bikes and one Felt.  The first new bike is an aluminum 2013 Cannondale F29 that I immediately stripped and converted to a singlespeed.  I haven't ridden it a ton yet, but the rides I have done on it were pretty awesome.  I can already tell I am going to love this bike!  Here is the only picture I have of it as of now, which was taken right after it got a nice coating of white dust from a gravel road.


The other new bike is a 2014 Cannondale SuperX Disc that I again immediately stripped to convert to a SS. This will be my gravel bike until mid-August for events like the Dirty Kanza, Farmhouse Classic, and Gravel Worlds, and at that point it will be transformed into a SS cross bike. Both of these bikes were converted using a Beer Components eccentric bottom bracket for BB30 frames.  My experience with these EBBs is so far fairly limited, but they seem to work as intended.  Here is new bike #2 almost ready to take out on the gravel.  I'm pretty sure it is going to be a rocket ship of a SS.


Since my last post I've done a little bit of racing and a good amount of riding.  I've got a couple mountain bike races coming up this month (the first is this weekend), and then of course the Dirty Kanza at the end of the month.  It also happens to be my anniversary, so kudos to my wife for being so cool about me spending the day suffering on my bike.  I'll be back soon with race recaps and hopefully some interesting photos. With that in mind, my cat says hi.
