Hanka where are those SRAM Double Tap™ shifters?

So I got the 2009 Trek XO2 working with my old gear from the Salsa. I am still uncertain about keeping the Campy Chorus Carbon 10 levers, I mean I like them well enough, but as it stands I don’t see myself converting to a Campy drivetrain and if I upgrade to 10 speed [...]

Future computers, cyclo-cross and dreams

hope for the American track scene

Slick rubber on top of concrete doesn’t make an ideal indoor track surface. Jared and I, however, were not deterred and took to running some of the “main events” as it were today at the Thomas Jefferson rec. center in Arlington. You really have to love the mile. We were split up [...]

DCRRC Turkey Trot 5 miler

31 min, 15 seconds. A nice morning race: friends, family, the Guaranello twins with one a lesbian sister in New York. What happened to Bradford Skow? We were supposed to run together. I had a good race. There were no mile markers or timers. I think I may have [...]
