Bikes of Ore 2 Shore Part One

So I thought I would post the bikes we rode in the Ore 2 Shore race. I will post mine first. I rode a single speed so that I would not get over zealous and out run JJ. My goal was to ride with him and get him on the podium. It was successful. But I don't deserve the credit here, he did it!

Gary Fisher Superfly Single Speed

These bikes were first built as a prototype and avialable only to a few selcect team members who had great success on them. They were shown briefly to the public. Everyone thought they were incredible. The next year a limited number were produced and sold only to shop employees. This is one of those bikes! I came across it last year on eBay. I had wanted one of these when they came out but the cost was out of my reach. I put an offer on it and got it. This is the bike I rode to Third Place at Barry-Roubaix!

This bike is incredibly light. The build is as follows:

Gary Fisher Superfly SS frame (carbon)

Niner Carbon Fork

Crankbrothers Carbon bar 31.8, 690 wide

Truvativ Carbon seat post

Bontrager Race Lite saddle

DT Swiss X470 Rims with Surly Hubs

Kenda Karma 2.2 tires (1.9 for Barry Roubaix)

Bontrager Race Lite Stem

Shimano Free Wheel 18T

Truvative Team SS Crank

32 Tooth Race Face SS Chainring

Hayes Stoker Ryde brakes

Crankbrothers Eggbeater Pedals

Sram 8 Speed Chain

Love this bike.

Well time is running out tonight so I will post JJ's bike tomorrow night.

End of Summer

The Best Time to Bike! On Saturday I traveled with Raymond to the Bear Claw Epic. This was the second annual race and the second time up there for Raymond and I. We got there with plenty of time to spare and got ready to go. Farley ready to go. I registered for Beginner Fat Bike or at least I thought so? I felt pretty good and knowing that I only had one lap to do I went all out. I passed several riders through the race and felt I did pretty good. This course has a lot of climbing and rewards you with some nice downhills. After I finished my race I put on a fresh shirt and went out on the course with the camera and my new lens. I took over 400 pictures and headed back to the start finish after Raymond finished his race. Raymond on his second lap. And the final climb. The beginner awards were going on and they announced my name as first place for Beginner Men 50-59. I was surprised, but did not protest. Aft...

Thanksgiving and More!

Thanksgiving has come and gone. We are now full on into the Christmas rush. So let me bring you up to date. The forecast for Thanksgiving was for some snow. So I went and got mom and dad for the celebration and it did snow. We had the entire family over and it was a full house. We all enjoyed a delicious meal and the Lion's even won! The men are relaxing. Mom's hitting the bottle! Everyone cleared out around 9pm or so. Michelle and I then went through the Black Friday adds in preparation of our shopping trip. We were up early and made it to the Family Chirstian Book Store around 6:15am. We then went to Sam's and Walmart. We stopped and ate to fuel up for the next round. Well the next round did not happen and we went home for a nap. I woke up after a short nap and unloaded most of the goodies.We then started working around the house in preperation of setting up the Christmas Tree. ...
