the stale blog
Sutt thanks for stepping up to make a post. My new theory is that the blog is a reflection of our riding at the moment - stale. I have been commuting to work and that is about it. It has been pretty cold, around 26 degrees in the morning. But it has been dry, somewhat. I have gone on a few 40-50 milers, but am still having trouble with the knee. I don't know if I should go to a sports doctor? The regular doctor didn't do a whole lot in how I can get it better. The racing starts out here in April for me. Racing starts earlier, but all of them are on Sunday. I am sitting in class today on a sunny day instead of my bike. Hopefully this will pay off in the long run.

Anything New?
I guess or hope we have all been spinning hard, because nobody has posted in over a month. But I'm willing to bet that none of us has put much time in the saddle. I'm happy if I spin three times a week.
I'm posting in an effort to hear the teams thoughts on something? Mindy was saving up to get me a cross bike (summer graduation/ tax return present), but I'm thinking of getting a new tandem frame instead or putting the money to something better (house payment-boring). I'm trying to talk myself and Mindy into the tandem frame, but we will see. I love the black beast, but I would love to have a new (lighter and faster) tandem frame to ride the Tour de Park City (yes, we are going to ride it again) and Lotoja (again) this year. I've been e-mailing co-motion for the last few days trying to decide which frame I want, but I can't decide yet. I will also need to get a new wheel set if I get a new frame. I'm looking at either the Speedster of the Supremo frame set. Any suggestions on wheels (looking for middle range tandem wheels)? Does Roval, Easton, or Mavic make a beefy or tandem Wheel sets? Let me know what you think on the frame or rims.
The tandem (New or black beast) will climb the divide this year (or Mindy will get tossed off in an effort to make it to the top). I can pick her up on the way down.
We signed up today for the Tour de St. George today. We might do the Tandem or I'll do the Century and Mindy will ride the 67, but we'll see in another 2 months.
