But doing well with the old stuff would sure place some mind games on the guys with $10k race rigs.
In Southern California the masters class guys race on cost-is-no-object stuff way too often.
Maybe after they start drug testing locally I will consider getting back in.
I've pretty much decided to grab a CAAD 10 frameset at the end of this season.
I've got an extra Chorus gruppo and a Fulcrum wheelset sitting here.
I'll put plenty of miles in this season to take a whack at masters class next year.
Most of the guys I ride with are already on the team.
It would be a perfect springboard to drop the next fifteen pounds as well.
Besides, Robbie the enabler just picked up a screamin' Cannondale and it's driving me crazy that I don't have one.
