The days are getting longer!

I am always a big promoter of our great Canadian winters, but I think I have had enough. I skied yesterday and it sucked. I followed the ski with a road ride and it sucked too. Strength workout outside? got soaked, naturally it sucked too. The weather has been a real crap chute. Especially when the temperature is just above or at the freezing mark. I am ready for dryer ground and bluer skies! 

Much work I have till I am ready to point the matrix due south west. I found out in that crappy rain that my roof decided it wanted to start leaking(again).  Once again, thanks weather... add that to the ever growing list.

On a more positive note, I have a sweet new rig to play on outside! My Trek 8000!!! It is going to be seeing some serious miles this season as it is going to be my main bike for logging the klicks on.  Aluminum frame, full XT, FOX fork and Bontrager components make it a wicked ride. I have only put about 7hrs on it in the last couple days but I am already very happy with it. 

On the skinny wheel side I am cruising the rollers on my Trek Madone 5.5. On the rollers it has been handling like a dream! Now all I want is to be able to ride it outside sans the salt fest.

Check out the rigs below!
