I haven't posted in awhile, just been busy.
First,
@dmatthews, love the regular pics of your rides, looks like a great place to get out on a bike.
I'm racing the SBT Gravel Red course Sunday. Originally planned to drive up with our bikes/dogs/camping gear as usual. But, my company is moving us back to Colorado 9/1, so we decided that a 2 week vacation in CO 2 weeks before we move there no longer made since. So, flying up for the race and a few meetings for work. First time I have flown a bike. Looking forward to not riding in the south TX heat, we have been over 100F since mid-May. I have to get my rides in before the sun comes up, or at least most of it on the weekend, and I'm still a soaked sweaty mess by 7am. Did a short mountain bike ride when I was in CO last week (our mountain bikes live at my friends house there). Started at 10am and was dry at the end.
So I have to pack this:
Into this:
I rented the Oura case medium, rented since I doubt I will need it since the only place we take bikes is CO. BTW, if you haven't watched any of the "worst Retirement Ever" channel on youtube, you should check it out. Phil is an ex world tour pro and is funny and fast. That's where I found this case, 11lbs total for the case. But, you have to drop the forks and derailed to make it fit. I'm a little nervous about it.
Hoping to run into Valtteri Bottas on the course, big F1 fan too. He finished on the podium for the red race last year too. I just want to finish in 4 hours.
Please excuse the gratuitous rig shot, but this is the PRS Forum! My Santana and the rest is already packed up, the house goes on the market tomorrow.
