Last week I said I would post a picture of my race wheels. Here there are. From the left: Velocity Deep V Elite rims on White Industry hubs with Challenge Grifo tires, FSA RD488 carbon wheels with Dugast Rhino tires, Mavic Reflex rims on White Industry hubs with Tufo Flexus tires, Lew Palermo carbon rims on White Industry hubs with Tufo S3 Lite tires, and Mavic Cosmic Carbone wheels with Tufo S3 Lite tires. On the bikes are: Mavic Open 4 rims on White Industry hubs with Panaracer CTX 737 tires on the cross bike, Stans ZTR 355 rims on Chris King hubs with Kenda Small Block 8 on the rear and Schwalbe Racing Ralph 2.4 on the front of the single speed 29er, DT Swiss wheels with Geax Saguaro tires on the geared 29er, Mavic Open Pro rims on Chris King hubs with Continental GP 4000 tires on the road bike, and FSA RD80 wheels with Vitoria tires on the TT bike. Am I a poser or what? I always read criticism of old farts who show up at races with fancy bikes and carbon wheels only to finish at the back of the pack, but that's all us old guys have going for us. We can afford nice toys.
I raced STCX in Grants Pass again. Susan was with me and took some pictures. Here I am in my California State Champion jersey. There were two other single speeders this week. I came in second. Next week is a different course. I felt pretty good this week and am looking forward to next week.
