*Internal Dialogue*
Don't know what I was smoking when I got a blue Bonty Race Lite front wheel in blue . . . I put it up in Craigslist hoping someone is missing or looking for a blue one - I would like to get the matching grey Race Lite Aero . . . (wonder if my LBS would take a trade-in?)

No, stick with CO2 and friends that carry Road Morphs.
My Micro Rocket is the aluminum one. It's on ebay now with no bids. If nobody buys it I'll throw it in my car and give it to you at the next ride.

As it turns out Trek is out of the Bontrager Race X-Lite Aero Wheelset, so I let them talk me into the lighter Bontrager Race X-Lite Wheelset

yeah. turns out i shoulda got a 120 instead, because i don't need the bike functions. i'd been holding out for something a little more snazzy, but once i finally decided to buy it, i wasn't really in the mood to spend more than $100 or so. two months ago, this would have been a garmin 305. not much use for gps anything these days

I just did the first upgrade to my 06 Kona Caldera a week or so ago. A set of Mutano Raptors in 2.24.
I've got around 50 miles on them now. Fantastic tires.

Yep, I also have the 150, I dont use the bike functions, just the HR monitor. The bike functions kept going on and off during a ride, so I bought a computer.

Canon PowerShot S3 IS
Just bought a new camera, a Canon PowerShot S3 IS. It's not really a take along camera for bike rides but now I can take my old crappy Kodak DX3700 on rides and not even care. I'm really excited about this camera, it's not an SLR but it has a 12X zoom lens and I've seen pictures taken with it and they looked great.
How do you take a picture of a camera with a new camera?
