Do You Road Bike?

Got a spare tube in there, a Park Tool multi-tool, tire repair kit with patches, and enough space left over for my glove liners and some ShotBlox. Also a blinky light on the back of the pack too. :teeth

i really really want to, but i dont think i am going to have time this year with school and work kicking my ass. my original plan was to start training with the sf state team but school has taken away the majority of my free time.
 
My ortho gave me the 'official' clear to ride my bike two weeks ago, and on Saturday I did the first multisport of the year (the South Bay duathlon). I got my first first-overall-women's, so I'm quite happy.


Also, I've lightened up my commuter. Not in the performance sense of the word, but in the 'hope the cagers see me' sense. I got this front light, and considering its compact size and USB recharge, it's just amazing. The day flash mode really catches the eye, even in bright sunlight.

I also got the Topeak iGlow fender. The light isn't very bright on sunny days, but the long fender flash is striking on overcast/rainy days and at night. And it does its fender job in preventing the buttstripe.

Awesome. I finally went on the road (almost 3 months after injury) last week. My ortho is kind of anti-cyclist but said I was ok as long as I wasn't having pain. Kind of overdid it by going on a med paced group ride, but it felt good.

Kind of crazy you did a race right after you were cleared to ride, no?

Seems like you got lights as soon as it is light super late. I bought some cheapy $8 light and decided it sucks, but it's better than nothing. :p
 
Man you guys, and gals, with your fancy shmancy GPS computers and strava.
 
I always went by it's not how fast you are, but how fast you look. :teeth
