Cycle Ti Thunder

I had a request to show how I attached the Hotshot to my helmet. I am riding with my Nite Rider Pro 1800 Race mounted on my helmet. I clip the hotshot on the headlight cable that goes to the battery in my back pack. I also included pictures of all of my other lights, four total. I have a white flasher on my front shock, two small flashers left and right on my rear rack. I also have a Hotshot on my seat post. I have one Cateye on the rear of my rack. When I have a bag on my rack I can easily unclip the Hotshot on my seat post and put it on my helmet, back pack or cycling jersey pocket. Oh, and I found out that Burley in Eugene, OR is no longer a coop. The duckbill was made by Burley along with my rain coat. The raincoat was a casualty of the "incident" on March 17 at the. I am currently looking for another cycling jacket that I can use in the rain as there is no replacement for the Burley rain coat. Glad I still have the Duckbill. The Video The photos:

I always said that my next bike would have disc brakes.   When I am going down a mountain road approaching 60 MPH and I am on an outside turn and I drop my inside leg out to gently lean my bike into the turn, I want to have the confidence that as I tap by brakes to limit my speed that I will not be heating up my rim.  When a cycling tire gets over heated from the heat transferred from the brake pad contacting with the rim it can cause a tire failure and that is not pretty. I have always wanted to ride the Death Ride  in the county of Alpine California.  I knew my old Serotta was not up to this ride, but my next bike will be purchased with this event as a goal.  I will not make it to the ride this year, but I will train for it in 2015. Here is my short list so far. Endurance bike frames Trek Domane 6.9  not shown with disc brakes. Bike Radar has a nice review of the bike.

 I took a nice slow cycling trip along the Flint River trail this evening. Sometimes I just do not want to deal with traffic. I am glad that I have a big tire bike that can ride on any terrain with ease. East side construction of Broad Street Bridge over Flint River.

I had a bike fit at Podium MS in Atlanta, GA. My fitter, Andy gave me a copy of the book " Holistic Strength Training For Triathlon " and I am reading it today. Wow is all I can say. The book is written by Andrew Johnston. I have never competed in a Triathlon, but I can run swim and cycle. The future is so exciting and full of possibilities.

My wife took some pictures during my bike fit today, enjoy.
