the itch is not gone

so, after a week of rest i'm starting to get itchy - you know, i'm starting to want to train again. it is always a good sign when you feel that way after a relatively short period of time off. that being said, the trainer is not part of that itch. and it was really too damn cold for any off-season training (if i were still trying to be race fit i would have gotten out) so i opted for making progress on converting the moto back to 1x1. i got the drivetrain installed and one of the brake levers installed. i should be able to wrap it up tonight in an hour or so.

for several years now i have wanted to convert my road bike to 10 speed but didn't want to make the investment. i now have shifters/rear derailleur that are currently not being used. the problem is that it is sram which i'm not a huge fan of. hmmmm. is current sram apex better than circa 2003 dura ace? i'm not so sure. it would be nice to have all our cross/road bikes to have interchangeable rear cassettes...

plans are coming together for louisville. it's going to be good!

happy tuesday.
