mt. tam hill climb still to come, and then it's officially wintertime!

the steel touring bike on which i began my racing career got demoted to 'commuter' last summer when i bought a fancy carbon racing bike. this weekend i had sat/sun races and in sat's circuit race i kinda f'ed up the racing bike (with a little help from a fellow racer who took us both down). so sun morning i trotted up to the start line on my old trusty steed of steel for some crit action. that thing is a pretty sweet ride! unfortunately i stuck a pedal into the ground coming out of a 180 turn mid-race and kissed the pavement for the 2nd time in 2 days. old steelie has 175mm cranks and my racing bike has 172.5s, to which i've grown accustomed ... yeah that's my excuse ...

anyhow i have twin skinned knees and some hip road rash to show for the weekend.
