RCMT: Road/Cyclocross/ Mountain/Triathlon: April 2010
http://rcmt.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
The Master B Caboose. Thursday, April 22, 2010. Dura Ace vs. Dura Ace vs. Dura Ace. I realized a couple of days ago that I have three bikes with Shimano Dura Ace groups. All different set ups though. I have my Lapierre with the Di2 7950 stuff. I have my father's old Specialized SWorks carbon with the 7800 model group. I have my custom steel Cernitz Mule commuter with its 9 speed dura ace bar end shifter (way low tech). The one that gets ridden the most? Will I trade in the other stuff? Create your own vi...

The Master B Caboose. Tuesday, April 26, 2011. Time to start again. Nevertheless, I feel it important to start writing again both here and on our family blog. First a few updates. I am a fatty again. Not horribly so, but a good 10 pounds over the maximum I'd like to weigh and about 15 pounds over what I would like to weigh. Well that's it for now. More to come soon. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Master B Caboose. Sunday, January 17, 2010. 1" steerer tube (I was using a Chris King DeEvolution headset which makes it possible to use a 1" steerer tube in a frame made for a 1 1/8" steerer tube) and lots of length. Ahh, lets see here.the phone is still sync'ing. Hmmm sync is done but the sleep button still doesn't work. Looks like I should take it in and put the extended warranty I purchased to work. Tuesday, January 12, 2010. Lapierre HM X-Lite: First ride. Monday, January 11, 2010. The down and ...

RCMT: Road/Cyclocross/ Mountain/Triathlon: March 2010

The Master B Caboose. Tuesday, March 30, 2010. Routing the wiring proved to be a bit tricky. In fact, it still needs some refinement so that the cables stay where they should with making it aestically annoying. But here is my reasoning why Di2 makes sense. 1) No more cables running to the derailleurs. You still have brake cables obviously, but brakes aren't that big of a deal in cyclocross right? Now I just have to get my butt in shape. Wednesday, March 24, 2010. Sunday, March 21, 2010. A beautiful morni...

RCMT: Road/Cyclocross/ Mountain/Triathlon: Zsa Zsa Gabor and Cyclocross.
http://rcmt.blogspot.com/2010/08/zsa-zsa-gabor-and-cyclocross.html
The Master B Caboose. Saturday, August 7, 2010. Zsa Zsa Gabor and Cyclocross. Sorry, going to go on a bit of a cycling rant here. Often, especially this time of year as summer starts to get a little long in the tooth I start to see posts like this:. Dura Ace 7800 shifters. Dented, scratched, work great,. Anyway, I don't get it. I mean, I get it, but I subscribe to this view at all- Hanging all of the crappiest parts on your cyclocross bike. Maybe it is the cost? 40, no big deal right? If the shifters bre...

The Master B Caboose. Friday, September 17, 2010. First Race of the Cyclocross Season. At least me first race of the season. I've ridden a bit the past couple of days and so I am certain that my legs won't be too fresh tomorrow. But, I don't really care. I mainly want the workout, to get dirty, and to continue to get a bit more fit. Anyway.I will report back about how tomorrow goes. It is going to be rainy. And that is a good thing.

The Master B Caboose. Wednesday, July 28, 2010. Finished next to last in the singlespeed class. Yes, it was an off night. Yeah, I was lifting heavy boxes half of the day. But really, I am fat. Look at the picture. Faaaaaat. Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat! See the formation of man-boobs aka moobs to highlight that gut? Well, actually come to think of it I am down about 5 or 6 pounds already. So I really it was worse. Tuesday, July 20, 2010. First Short Track Race. I was a bad son and made my mother go to the airport...

RCMT: Road/Cyclocross/ Mountain/Triathlon: That was then, This is now
http://rcmt.blogspot.com/2011/06/that-was-then-this-is-now.html
The Master B Caboose. Thursday, June 9, 2011. That was then, This is now. Then I looked at my preparation for the Half IM in 2009. Other than having a long runs being longer (a 12 mile long run compared to a 7 mile long run currently) a few weeks prior to the event, I am already doing what I was then. My weekly training total was probably 10 hours on average for that event and this week I will hit the same amount of time. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in November.
