Well, besides not getting any sleep the night before, at all..., it went great. Didn't change a thing on the Atlantis. Front rack with basket, shop sack, fenders and 37c Paselas were all kept as was. Felt a little rough the first 20 miles or so but kicked in strong for the remaining 60. Received LOTS of compliments from the carbon crew. No derision. Rode through Luchenbach 20 miles from the finish. Lots of wind. Drank my two free beers of Fireman's 4 afterwards (mmmm...) and the exhaustion hit me hard so I raced back to Austin with devil music playing on 11 before collapsing. Mighty fun!
Incidentally, I did strip the Atlantis down yesterday and put some new shoes on. Now running the 50c Big Apples I've had in the garage for the last year. Now that's some fun. Made it across the two creek crossings on one of my regular routes without putting a foot down for the first time. 30 psi holds my 215 pounds just fine and makes for a super plush ride on dirt. Gonna have to splurge on the 60c's sometime in the future. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
