Today I finished building my Leader 725 and took it for a short 5 mile test ride, still dialing in the fit (will probably raise the bars a hair) but it was sooo nice. I was worried that since it's an aluminum track frame it would be a harsher ride than my clockwork, that wasn't the case. In fact the ride was as smooth as my dual suspension mtb. I had no issues with the clipless pedals either. The only thing that ruined the experience was a loud ass creak coming from the saddle rail clamp on my seatpost (apparently that's a common issue with the Fizik Cyrano seatpost).

So I have been tinkering around with again with PSP's recently (after finding 2 at a garage sale and rediscovering my own) and taking full advantage of Chinese part PSP suppliers on ebay.
Today my sqrl came home with these today for me:
I thought she was trolling me with some old PSP game cases and photoshoped cover sleeves but low and behold the UMD's were inside.

I rode 30+ miles with an avg speed of 19.3 mph yesterday. I really wanted to break 20, but oh well. Lot's of headwind too. Feel really solid about that ride.

11 mile climb on a local trail with the mountain bikes; my tech riding abilities are greatly lacking.
Planning on getting a ride in town with the FG tomorrow if all things work out

Today was first day as a bike mechanic. I woke up late, and got three tickets on the way to work. Still had a great day

Did the Echelon Gran Fondo in Sonoma today, in just under 5 hours (total time, ~4:30 riding). 75 miles and 6k feet of climbing.
https://app.strava.com/activities/54950255
Felt good at first... averaged 21.5 mph for the first hour or so in the lead pack, but got cramps trying to keep up on the long slog of a climb. I forgot how much cramps suck, first time in awhile getting them bad, used to more often. I'm getting better at keeping cramps from totally derailing me, but they definitely slowed me down still. Time for a nap.
