This looks fun -- and cold!  Pro rider Juan Antonio Flecha with a helmet cam on a practice descent of the Cipressa, one of the two key climbs in the Milan-Sanremo race, which ran just this past weekend...

R.I.P. Phil Wood -- I've got one of his front hubs on my fixed gear bike, for no reason more logical than it is a thing of beauty.

RIP Phil. His parts were works of art.

Found this recently.  Will be built in the near future after a few other projects are taken care of around the house.

A friend of mine just started the Arizona 300 this morning; a 300 mile, self-supported, wilderness MTB race that follows the Arizona Trail from south to north. The race motto is "No entry fee. No prizes. Absolutely no support." She's carrying all her food & gear with her for the next few days, and apparently it was snowing this morning at the start of the race. Her name is Mary Reynolds and you can track her progress at the race website:

Go Mary!

Mad props to Mary for even attempting that.

Gotta love this part of the country during spring.

Freeways shut down, snow everywhere.  It's awesome!  [thumbsup]

You know what's nuts? She's doing the "easy" course -- 300 miles vs. the 750 mile Mexico to Utah course...

What's even crazier is that she tried to talk me into doing it too...

Sweet new road ride you got there Bryant!! Wish I could ride around WRL with you but my knee needs replacing and that's cramping my cycling just a little. [bang] Cool that you're really getting into it! [clap]

Yeah, I needed the new ride to get me super motivated for the Moab Century in September.  Its amazing the difference in the full carbon frame compared to aluminum.  All the power goes to forward motion.

Wait, I think i found it - is it a Nirve Classic, and you've swapped out to white tires and removed the brakes (and added a sweet headlight)?
