I decided today that I would allow myself a new bike after I bike 10,000 miles on my current carbon bike that I have had for just over a year. That way, I will get a pretty good idea of the type of bike that I want next, and it will keep me from blowing 8K for the sake of greed.

10,000 - 22.81 = 9977.19 miles to go

See! I already accomplished something.

The titanium bike is obviously fitted for him. Yet, when I got on it and went, ALL of my power went to the pavement. I am so jealous. The bike just takes all the power and uses every ounce. My carbon is nice, but damn that was a treat! It's a Seven custom job. Fuck, why did I do that?

I have approximately 3,000 miles on my 105 components as of today. The cassette is a newer cassette and will probably have more life in it than the other components. At most, I estimate that I put 500 - 750 miles on that old cassette before swapping it out.

Why blog about this?

In a year or two, I can come back to this post and track the age of my parts.

It was Scott's first ascent up the Headlands.

It was a beautiful day for a ride and there is still some weekend left because we kept it short.

Arun and I were back in the saddle this morning on our usual easy ride out to the ocean and back. It's nice to be back in the saddle. I noticed bison for the first time in Golden Gate Park!
