Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

A Giro helmet for $139. Had a crash last month in which I smacked my head . Luckily it was inside my old helmet which wasnt dented but it was 4 years old and they say that you should have it tested after its subject to impact. Between the age and crash I just bought a new one.

Tomorrow I'll be spending $20 + tax on retaping my handlebars. I'll probably pick up the same $13 bike computer I have for my hybrid and get the shop to install it for $5.

I'm hopelessly addicted to anything bike-related.

Yesterday I ordered two pair of Under Armour compression shorts (long); two pair of Park Tool socks, and one Park Tool coffee mug (where hobbies overlap).

Black and Decker tool box. Nothing real big, 19" across.

Gonna put all my bike tools in it, along with some standard tools I have duplicates of for working on the bike. This way I'll be able to just throw the tool box in the car when I go to a race, and not have to worry about leaving a tool, or getting my clothes dirty with tools in my bag.

Also got some sunscreen (Coppertone 50 spf Ultra-Sweatproof stuff, we'll see how it does).

In the last week and a half, I've bought a Bontrager Race X-lite tire from the LBS (to replace a cut tire), a set of GP4000s on sale from Nashbar (so I don't get stuck paying $50 for a Race X-lite or $66/tire for GP4000s the next time I cut a tire), a set of Specialized BG footbeds, and today, upon realizing that the shell of my 7 year old helmet was starting to separate from the foam, bought a Giro Atmos. I'm not looking forward to the next credit card statement.
