Hmmm, orange with Celeste. That sounds cool. My Bianchi has white tape right now. I might have to try that as I get that bike ready for the Spring.

Got my butt kicked last night. I skipped the commute yesterday to opt for a night MTB ride on the local rails-to-trails path ("Prairie Path" for you Chicago area people) with some friends. I had not been out with them since September and that was a road ride. I kicked their butts then. Looks like I need to concentrate a little more on my commute speed. Either that or just relax and concentrate on keeping my base until Spring. To make excuses, they were riding slicks and I was riding knobbies. I was wearing the boots I wear for my commute without clipless pedals and they were wearing their cycling shoes with clipless pedals. Excellent ride, though. I needed a bit of humility.
