finished

i wrapped up my bike build last night. the stem i had purchased for it was too long/had too much angle to it for my liking so i swapped it out for an ea30 i had laying around. at some point, i'd like to lighten that load (and i was hoping for a white stem aesthetically) but that can wait until i log some ride time and confirm that it is set up to my liking - the bike looks fast and i can't wait to start riding/racing it.

tuesday mornings are my least favorite of the week. today was no exception and i'm still trying to dig myself out of the crabby hole. i just might need to chase it away with some more coffee.

i just read that jens voight is coming back for one more season. that is a bright spot to the day. i love what he said in velonews, that when you start in pro cycling you have to give, give, give and then, when you reach your prime you mostly take. then, when age catches up to you the giving starts back up - sort of like a perfect circle. 

happy tuesday.
