Awesome, yeah I just saw a racer for Slipstream-Chipotle mention it in a journal thing on Velonews (https://www.velonews.com/diaries/ride.../12116.0.html). I've heard it mentioned many times but I've never tried it. Bring it to Scotch night!

also: grr.. once again I find a cross frame that I like and is affordable and later realize it has 135 spacing. Who the fark wants mountain spacing on a cross bike?? Kinda limits your wheel choices! (especially for campy)

You could always re-space the frame, no?
Who all is going to CM tonight?

I forget what we do in track 2. Is it mostly riding or do we have to stand there shivering in lycra sliding around on cleats?
I did a track 2+3 combo I think so I hope we have the chance to get a bunch of laps in because we probably won't be doing the more fun drills.

I'm still occasionally tempted to go for that bikesdirect campy record deal and selling off the bits I don't want on craigslist. 
If it was a compact crankset I'd be more interested, however.
ps. Kim used the word "campy" the other day. I was so proud.

Anyone know where to get a power meter? I'd like a Powertap, but I can't imagine spending that money. Nonetheless, it would be nice to know where they can be found.

I think Cycle Therapy can get them if they don't normally stock them. There's also a powertap pro + cxp33 wheel on canadiancyclist right now for I believe $700.

I just assume I'm pumping out a steady 400 watts unless I'm sprinting.

I was on the cycle-Ops site and under powermeters you see a nice photo of Mr. Landis. I guess that is the key to his success...
