Bike List

Ok, seems to be the thing, here are a couple buddies and my list of bikes:
Adam's Bikes
Brandon's Bikes

My bike list 2001-2009:
Dave Scott Ironman Centurion - Steel, Given to me by a friend, size 61! This bike started the craze!
Litespeed Tuscany - Sweet Ti Love
Litespeed Saber - Had to have more Ti
Colnago Dream - This bike could turn on a dime! Awesome road race bike.
Look AL Track bike - My love for the track has never faded
Quintana Roo Zero Gravity - Funny ITU road bike
Quintana Roo Lucero - First Sponsored Tri Bike, really nice carbon
Litspeed Siena - Ti, never got to ride it enough
Guru Veloci'Ti - Wow, beautiful paint
Scott CR1 - Really stiff carbon
Titus Racer X - One ride and moved on from the off road stuff, maybe someday again.
RMS Sparrow -Fully Custom Ti Tri Bike, I ride what I love
Cervelo Super Prodigy - Steel, sweet ride!
Cannondale F4- Hardtail Mtn. Needed something for the trails and Muddy Buddy races
Some Rush - Fixed gear, back to the track! Steel, very stiff!

Since I have been in or around the bike insdustry for many years I have ridden just about everything. There are alot of great bikes, but Ti bikes will always have my heart.

My favorite road bike was probably the Colnago, with the Tuscany a close second. I road the 'nag to quite a few Road Race wins, but the Tuscany gave me my first. For tris I road the saber for close to 5 years and won the U23 Texas TT and Ironstar Half Ironman on it. My RMS fits a bit better since it is fully custom, now I just need to get back in shape. I like a bit stiffer ride so I have always prefered Ti over Carbon. I am hoping the Cervelo will give me the "Steel is Real" feel everybody talks about.

    How do you ride a size 61 bike? Must have been quite a sight!

    It was huge! I put the seatpost as low as it would go, so the saddle was basically on the top tube. I had to lean the bike on its side or stand on a curb to get high enough to mount the bike!

Austin 20-Miler Marathon

So first, I did not finish, I pulled out at mile 20. I did not have it in me, so another day, another race. I am a bit disappointed, but I have learned a lot during the training. Thank you to all for the well wishes! The plan: Take the first 3 miles out with the 3 Hr pace group uphill and then use miles 4-7 downhill to make up a bit of time. Miles 8-11 get into a comfortable pace. Work up the hill at 11 and then rolling hills through 18. 19-26 are somewhat down hill so pick up a bit of speed heading back in. Take a gel every 4 miles, and 1 gel right at the start. Alternate between water and powerade at every water stop. I thought if I could get through the half around 1:29 I could run even or better the second half. Race Recap: Race morning was really nice, cool and windy. Temp was in the 40's and it looked to be overcast. The race started 15 mins late, that does not seem like much, but when you have nutrition and bathroom duties to take care of it can be a little problem. The rac...

Midnight Moonlight Ramble

Over the weekend Bike Houston put on a great event, the Midnight Moonlight Ramble . I had the pleasure of riding the 20 mile route with some good friends. The ride starts and finishes at the George R. Brown Convention Center and takes you through the Galleria area and down Memorial and Allen parkway for a scenic tour of Houston. By the way, the ride starts at 2 AM with the festivities beginning at midnight. The ride is for everybody, Hard Core Roadies, Nob heads, sub-culture messengers and families with tow-alongs. Pics of Team Moose . Thanks to Dakine for the Moose head!
