Been wearing leather shoes for a good part of my life (hell, I went to a private school until I finished high school that required dressy-ish shoes , mostly made out of Black leather). Black leather shoes will cook your feet. Dont get me wrong here. I'm not hating and actually congratulating you for the pick up but just giving you a heads up.

I was really pissed with I went to LBS to look at the helmets on sale. Maybe they treat guys better. The jerk never asked me what my price range was or what I was looking for (I was looking for white helmet) and he kept saying try this one. Most were too large for my head and the twit kept saying that the rear fitting system just needed adjusting. I wanted to ask him if he would be insulted if he were looking for shoes and I brought him shoes two sizes too large and told him to just tie them tighter. If that were the case, all helmets would be "one size fits all". Needless to say, I refuse to buy a helmet from that store.

I just rode these for 2.5 hours yesterday and my feet were no hotter than the more modern cycling shoes they replaced. I guess it's a little different than your high school dress shoe experience.

It's definitely geared towards racing. It's an excellent book, I'm reading through mine for the second time now.

Visited the local bike shop for some new tires after a panic stop to avoid a car put a 3 inch slit in the rear tire (locked it up a little coming downhill). Walked out with Michelin Pro4 (Race) tires in red. These better not suck for the money they cost!

Their great tires for racing, very grippy in both dry and wet conditions; I assume that's why you bought them? and not for recreational or training rides? Because they will wear fast and be subject to flats and tire damage. If the bike shop knew you weren't exclusively racing on them they should have sold you the Pro4 Endurance tire instead of the Race.

Figured it was time to replace the old helmet with this
And replaced the chain
Really enjoy the Feed Zone, the rice cake recipes are excellent.

Trying to cut down from 160 to 140lbs by the end of summer. It'll be a ***** to maintain until next season but I'm not new to cutting weight and maintaining (been enjoying for the past 2-3 years
).
I haven't opened the book yet but I hope the recipes are simple enough.

Blackburn Mag Tech 6 trainer. It's monsoon season in FL, and it's on with a vengeance, as if to make up for years of relative drought. I don't mind riding in rain, but riding in thunderstorms dumping an inch or two an hour is a bit much.
I had a trainer before (lost it in a move?!) but no instrumentation, didn't didn't know where my HR or cadence was, and was too lazy to measure with a watch. I have an Edge 350 with all the goodies, so now I know.
This is gonna lead me into trainerroad, I just know it.. I'm already ordering the garmin ant+ stick to go with my edge.

Please post the end result somewhere. I really like the blue/orange color on that bike. I bet the orange tape goes well with the bike.
