If you read this blog, I wanted to let you know that I'll be moving my posts over to hocroad.tumblr.com from now on. I like the layout better there, it's cleaner, and more of my friends are on it so we'll give it a try. Thanks for reading on here even though I was pretty bad at updating the past couple of months. I will try to be better on the new blog.

Jack Bauer's Rig

This makes me want to get a LOOK 595. This is Jack Bauer's bike. He races for Endura Racing in the UK. Oh yeah, the reviews and details of the frameset are pretty bad ass too! I won't be getting a new frameset for a while, but one can look right?!

HTC HIGHROAD S WORKS

Seen on the cyclingnews.com news feed. I'm not sure yet, but I think I liked their Scott's better....

Bobcat Trail

The days here in San Francisco have been amazing this week. This morning I rode up in the headlands again with Connor and he took me on the Bobcat Trail that led down to Tennessee Valley Rd. It was definitely fun, and I'm excited to do more exploring and find some new fire roads. Naveen's getting his crossbike soon so that should be fun times ahead!

Slammed

A shot from belgiumkneewarmers.com. They got tons of endless Pro Peloton photos on there and they're fun to look at. If you're on break from work, check them out!

Cadel's Impec

I'm assuming you guys caught the WC race yeah? Cadel rode pretty awesome during the race, defending his worlds title with class. Right about this time last year when he won it, I slowly became a fan of his while knowing that many people out there didn't really like his whiny attitude, and lackluster riding. It didn't bother me one bit and I still rooted for him as the underdog, and this past year he raced pretty awesome, wearing the rainbow jersey with pride and respect, while winning some great races - La Fleche Wallone and Stage 7 of the Giro!

Here's his custom IMPEC. I wonder how much the the IMPEC frameset will retail for? All handmade by machine. Not exactly ready for a new race bike just yet, but it is in the back of my mind in terms of what my options are! I will probably ride my GIANT for another season. I love that thing (Maybe I'll get a white one?)!

The Headlands

Before I left for NYC, I got a chance to go for an epic morning ride with Connor and Travis on the cross bikes. Super fun and mad tiring. I feel out of shape riding with those guys, but that's probably because I AM out of shape as I haven't really been riding since my trip to NYC and Europe. It does feel good to be off the bike though. Excited to start riding again though. During the ride there was lots of dirt, bushes, carrying the bikes while hiking up small mountains, and timeless views of the bay. Another awesome morning.
