I changed my chain today. I didn't record when my last change was, but it might have been 8,000 or 9,000 miles ago.
The chain was a little bit over 1/16" long, but my initial test (light ride up the street) suggests that the cassette is still OK.
This is my first time using a Wippermann chain.

So if some of you 41ers want to come up here for a ride one of these Sundays or Saturdays I could accommodate you, if I'm not racing. Maybe a 50 mile ride, then maybe some BBQ. A mini Mt. Doom BBQ, limited to 5 or 6 of you guys. I don't need Doomstock. Hell, I should charge you peons for a Pcad Seminar. Maybe $100 each, but that would include the BBQ and all the Diet Orange Soda you can drink. My house is 40 minutes north of Paramus, it's all highway. Kimco we could figure out a way to get you back and forth too if you're sans car. Maybe ride up to Ft. Lee and hook up with jorge.
I think that could be fun.

My Slice TT bike felt really dialed in today. Far more comfortable on it than I have ever been, position still looks aero, I think I'm good to go. That only took 2+ years. It's pretty cool when you hunker down on the aero armrests because it's actually more comfy than the cow horns. That's the whole friggin idea.

Ownage at the training ride tonight. pulled most the way and felt FANTASTIC! the hills killed me at the end but here is the stats:
21.7 Miles That's my warm up before going on a ride
20.3 AV. Speed Either you or that Trek are slow; probably both
57.23 min. see above
and at the end of last year i was running this:
21.7 Miles
17.4 Av. Speed too slow to even comment on
1H07 Min.
so racing has helped me a bit! I plan on getting more trainer sessions in to improve.

Oh, and it was fun dropping all of those Freds on the MUP...I wish I could have taken a pic of that slow poke on the Dahon when I dropped the hammer while eating a donut.

How did you go 21.7 miles in under an hour and only average 20.3 miles per hour? Did you do something to distort the time-space continuum during that ride?

50 miles, slow to moderate tempo, mouth is killing me, hope this stupid post extraction pain relents by tomorrow. Oh well. Got the ride in. Time to do the drawings.
