Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I got tubes, Castelli socks and CO2's.
I gave my wife a Giro Prolight helmet, which is too big for her, but it fits me perfectly.

Good lord, they make you pay to live in Canada?!?


My Crimmus was pretty good, got a few bike goodies but this year the focus was on minimalist running gear.

We shall see!
Equipe bibs are great. I have kits in all 3 colors.

They do indeed, and this was just my final payment AND I have been waiting for 2 years. It is worth it though, as I was not exactly in love with New Jersey. Plus, my girlfriend is Canadian and she is the main reason I came here. I love it here and cannot imagine living anywhere else. Although San Diego comes to mind

Cheers,

Brian J.

2011 Tarmac Comp w/Compact 105.

Neuvation C50 Carbon Tubulars.



I also got a load of other stuff like GU, Cytomax, spare tubes and co2.

Don't worry, I've gotten all the stickers off since this picture. But notice - the dork disc was the first thing removed. I also can't remember how to post a large picture that doesn't have a url. Back to browse the stickies I guess........

i took that picture a week ago now - the stickers are off. And they are clipless. Crank Brothers Quattro. I've been riding those pedals for two years. I previously owned a Tiagra-equipped Caad9. Thanks for the one thumb up though.
