Wheels are last year's Fulcrum Racing 5s replacing the old Fulcrum 5s that came with it. Every new bit I put on, the bike seems to get black-er. Maybe I should ditch the Celeste bar tape, but that seems sacrilegious.
don’t ditch it, it matches the accents on the fork and top tube! over here in all black bike land i’m struggling for justifications for anything other than black tape.
today i had a glorious 90 mile loop planned to petaluma and back … or an 80 mile loop to nicasio reservoir and back if i got tired. daylight savings got me out the door at 8am, only to find the golden gate bridge closed due to the half marathon. did 52 miles around SF, twin peaks, san bruno mountain instead … but i was really looking forward to the redwoods.
