Bottom Bracket? Creaking?

HELP! I'm trying to figure out where this sound is coming from. It sounds like a "creak" coming from the bottom bracket. BUT the bottom bracket is brand new. I just replaced it about 700 miles ago with a brand new Nashbar (rebranded RPM) bottom bracket. I even took the cranks off last week and tourqed down the bottom bracket again.

The CRAZY part is, that it doesn't do it all the time. It rarely does it on my 20 mile commutes, and usually pops up towards the END of my weekend group ride (at around mile 40 or so)

I'm going to do some "testing" tomorrow to see if it might be gear related but just wanted to see what other idea's people have to fix this thing.

Thanks in advance, Ben
