Funny thought, huh.<BR/>chr15<BR/>i surely did like racing on the bike. I am sorry to see it go but do look forward to my replacement bike arriving so i can re-sticker it with all fun stickers - and sponsor stickers of course.<BR/>Keep me updated on your cx season.PEANUThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01084132705399321019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669315206751120504.post-87853515790078087492008-08-04T15:30:00.000+02:002008-08-04T15:30:00.000+02:00Not surprised you are tired though 9 races in 12da...Not surprised you are tired though 9 races in 12days... Your 'flakiness' is excused :). Not much time for resting but hey, all that intensity must be doing some good, right?<BR/><BR/>The Cavandish, Boonen, Gilbert race sounds fun if a little preordained for the crowds(really???). You'd have thought that given their standing they should be have to duke it out with the field! Its hard to imagine how fast those guys are going in a crit race, especially when you, as a pro yourself, comment!<BR/><BR/>your backup at Scott sound like a great team, to get you a bike to race ther and then to ensure you don't miss a race is awesome! and boy does that CR-1 look purdy! Not sure about carbon for me though, 4k's is a lot of hours at the desk for my (little) overweight a$$ to go and break! Maybe Jonas can be a little 'slow' in building up the new frame when it comes so you can continue on the loan bike for a while :)<BR/><BR/>Good work on RACING on it and getting to do some work at the front! your descriptions are certainly a great endorsement for the bike!<BR/><BR/>Now enjoy your break, as those running shoes are calling!<BR/><BR/>I have been running all year, now to add some intensity work! I hope to move up from 'back of packer' this year...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669315206751120504.post-91335984273823494612008-08-04T00:49:00.000+02:002008-08-04T00:49:00.000+02:00It is like I was telling my Dad, hey dad, my new b...It is like I was telling my Dad, hey dad, my new bike cost more than my car! I will do a blog on my newest route and send you the link to my blog when I get it done. I am in the middle of my factory work week, so it will be thursday before that happens, but it will give you a chance to see what I see. Enjoy that carbon while you can!<BR/>RickieRickie Rainwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315426223545490980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669315206751120504.post-66941810983892319472008-08-03T22:33:00.000+02:002008-08-03T22:33:00.000+02:00hey rickieHow was the new bike route? yes the cr1 ...hey rickie<BR/>How was the new bike route? yes the cr1 was excellent. I just raced a road race yesterday and another criterium on it today. Thankfully no crashes so the bike survived! How nervewracking is it to not only be on a borrowed bike but one that costs more money than i can afford to spend!<BR/>Now on to running.PEANUThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01084132705399321019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669315206751120504.post-47734932187583947532008-08-02T17:23:00.000+02:002008-08-02T17:23:00.000+02:00Christine, I just love your blog.

I will be setting up a web site to raise money which is the purpose of the whole deal and to raise awareness about Diabetes. My former step daughter, Casie has diabetes, so it means a little more. I will be doing the 100 mile ride. I will send you the link when I get it together.<BR/>RickieRickie Rainwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315426223545490980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669315206751120504.post-31029778453988392372008-08-02T07:40:00.000+02:002008-08-02T07:40:00.000+02:00Wow, the CR1 was my first pick for a dream bike un...Wow, the CR1 was my first pick for a dream bike until I decided to go the more affordable route and build my Viner piece by piece. What an impressive machine. I still love my bike, Nemo, but the scott is pretty sweet. I'm wondering if you could actually put some thinner road tire slicks on one of your cross bikes and do the road races. They shouldn't be that radically different except for the gearing which could be altered. Your original scott was Aluminum wasn't it? The carbon fiber must have been sweet. Talk to you soon. I need to get to bed as I am doing a long ride tomorrow early before the heat. I found a cool new route.<BR/>RickieRickie Rainwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315426223545490980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669315206751120504.post-73705005113421855812008-08-02T03:38:00.000+02:002008-08-02T03:38:00.000+02:00mmm... running!mmm... running!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423132343049990981noreply@blogger.com
