Stopping Power

Thanks to my friend Jude at Magura, I will have plenty of stopping power in the cock pit this season. Jude and Magura decided to help me out this season and send me some brakes. Not exactly  sure what model they will be. We first talked about the Marta SL which is Magura's top o the line light weight XC brake set. As I ride 29 inch wheels and am a bit heavier I opted for the 180mm rotor on the front, and a 160mm rotor in the back. I am very excited about this and look forward to riding with Magura in 2009.

10 hours in 3 days.

The last few days were a great surprise. I found out on Friday that I wouldn't have to work again till

Monday. Friday afternoon, after a quick pack and a 3 hour drive, I found myself riding my Single Speed road bike in Colorado Springs CO. 

I rode for 3 days but Saturday was by far the highlight of the trip. My buddy Jon who lives in the Springs and whom I stayed with, has been wanting to ride from there to Pueblo CO. So, we got it done! 8o miles and 67 Degrees to top it off.  In January? Only in Colorado! Awesome!
