Yeah, I rode mine for an hour while watching LSU crush them Aggies. Really nasty weather outside and it figures to be worse tomorrow, so I'll be riding the trainer again. I really hate it, but am committed to exercise every day no matter what.

Today I decided to ride my brakeless track bike for work for the first time. It was rad. #coolstorybro

Started making my new fenders for the winter. 1 layer dry, now to make a bracket for the rear break bridge and side braces, then hopefully another layer will finish it off

I just got my risers on Friday...I think thats about month after you got yours based on when you posted about the giant box they came in. I was going to put them on yesterday but never got around to it. That'll be next weekends project.

carbon fiber.
The first layer is pretty rough, in all fairness it's my very first time ever messing with any fiber cloth. I'll cut the edges smoother and wrap the second layer over the edges too. We'll see
edit: It's actually really tough. With those brand new Fiskars titanium nitride coated scissors I can't cut through it. To the power sander

The cloth was cheap, the resin was expensive since you had to buy quite a bit at once. Probably 5x more than I'll use on this project
