History:
|
I enjoy weekly rides with local clubs. I've been riding since 2004. I'm on the Canadian prairie so the road riding challenge is with headwinds, intervals, average speeds & endurance. Every once in a while I get away (mostly to nearby areas like Minnesota, Michigan, North/South Dakota) and manage to do some new rides. I dream of a European cycling trip...someday. |

2016 Marin Lombard Elite
Gravel Road bike |
Description: Purchased in July, 2017 (new old stock). A new job with a 2 hour daily commute was cramping my riding time. So, I worked out a nice route, picked up this sturdy Marin and starting pounding out the 100K round trip to the office once or twice a week. It's 3 1/2 hours of bliss and unwinding each time I do it. The bike is becoming so comfortable and convenient I find myself riding it even when I'm not doing the commute.

2009 Colnago Strada SC
Road bike |
Description: Purchased July 2009, scandium/carbon frame. SRAM Force components, Mavic Ksyrium SL wheelset, Selle Italia SLR saddle. Smooth as butter and really responsive when I stand on the pedals. I had no idea chip and seal highways didn't have to make my butt and hands numb until I rode this bike. For the km's I ride and the short Manitoba season, I really don't deserve such a thoroughbred but I plan to ride this bike for a long time.

Upgrades (not pictured) include shimano spd pedals, brooks professional saddle, brooks leather bar tape. It's a hoot to bomb around town with and commute to work on (30 km's). "One" really is all you need!
