Need I say more? Finally go pics of the wheelset I designed and helped build. I have ridden them around here and they roll very well, I'm doing similar speeds in training as if I were on the roady. These babies are coming with me to Colorado. I just could not be stuffed carting two bikes around like last time. At least with one if you get stranded you can throw your pack and spare wheels on your back and ride. (Although you may look like a camel.)

So I fly out Tues 15 June to sunshine, warmth and yes a bit of altitude. I'm sure I will suffer for the first couple of days. But I an't wait, and it'll be sooo good to leave the wet, cold countryside of New Zealand behind for the winter.

Bring on the tan-lines!
