Soon to come

This is the first time that I am taking a semester off from school. It is honestly not what I wanted to do, but since I am not in school I am planning on making the best of it. I have been putting in some quality riding. I will be starting out as a cat 3 for cross and hopefully it wont be long till I get the points I need to get my upgrade.

I just put my new cross bike together with the following specs"
-Giant TCX frame set
-SRAM Force groupo
-Ksyrium SL Premiums wheels
-FSA K-force carbon seat post
-FSA K-force stem(white)
-TRP Carbon brakes
-Connie Speed Kings
-Selle Italia team seat(white)
It weighs in around 17.2 lbs. and looks fast. I am going to be pushing a 1 x 10 (45 x 11/25) which should be interesting since I know a lot of guys will be using a more original set up of 42/44.

With the time that I have had since I am not in school I have been fortunate enough to be working for Breakaway cycles in Loveland Colorado. If you ever get a chance and want to meet some great guys who know probably the most about cycling in general I would recommend stopping by. They also have some really sick bikes. Who knows you might even see mine around the shop. Breakaway cycles is sponsoring for the cross season which is a pretty sweet deal.

I haven't had time to put up some pics of my bike or anything but hopefully soon.

So, the races that I will be hitting up this season are mainly on Saturdays due to scheduling.
