Mission Accomplished

Last year Bryan and one of our BFF's Dave Looby rode the ACS bike-a-thon. When I went to pick them up at the finish I said that I would be doing it as well in 2012. After several false starts and much procrastination I started to do some real training in the Spring. And by training I mean being dragged around the greater Philadelphia area by Bryan, complaining all the while. As seen here:

Don't I look super happy in all of these flattering pictures?! You should have seen me after I accidentally ran over a chipmunk. And a certain rider behind me *ahem, Chris Fox I am looking at you* didn't have the sympathy to put the poor thing out of its misery. Oy, the guilt! Where was I going with this. . .

So I trained, and I rode many many miles, I climbed as few hills as was humanly possible, and I learned all about dehydration. We are just finishing up our second heat wave of the summer, this one lasting
10 + days.

In June I was up to doing rides of 50 miles. I felt confident enough to register for the ACS ride that Bryan told me would be 60 miles. Guess what, Lying McLiar-Pants, it is 65 miles. But I was signed up and doing it.

A week before the ride I got nervous. I was going to be left by the side of the road for dead. There was no way I could ride this far in the heat. Maybe it would rain and I wouldn't have to go. What if it rained and I had to ride anyway? This all was a terrible idea.

Yesterday, I got up at the ass-crack of dawn and put on all of my gear, got on my bike and left the house at 6:30 in the a.m. Then I rode 66.34 miles.
 

Many thanks to; Bryan for pushing me and making sure I really was ready, my Mom for inspiring me not just to do this but in roughly one million ways, Looby for being behind me pretty much the whole way and also downwind of my ranting, to the always incredible Miss Molly for driving to jabib and picking up our tired selves, and of course to Leah for not going into labor while I was off doing this.

Going feral

Oh, hi guys.  Just hanging out in the wilderness on this sweet custom shop build.  No big deal. 

(Dang these wheels are nice!  Thanks B!)

My newest road bike, Foundry Ratchet!

You may already know, I have a few bikes. Of which there are some pretty sweet road bikes. This is the latest edition to my stable, the Foundry Ratchet. A new brand of high-end, high-performance carbon fiber race machines. While my racing days are far behind me, I do still enjoy going "fast". My steel bikes are certainly champs, and up for any and all I can dish out, but something about a stiff super light carbon bike just feels fast. The power transfer and acceleration are unlike anything else I have ever ridden. I have already managed to put about 120 miles on this bike since Sunday, and I'm totally loving it. Looking forward to collecting thousands more miles on it throughout the spring and summer.

Announcing Foundry's Tradesman Search

The Ratchet

File this under totally awesome: Foundry Cycles, a new bike brand we're super excited about, is launching a nationwide search for five Foundry Tradesmen and women - ambassadors for the brand. "Why is this so awesome, and what does it have to do with me?" you may ask. Check it: These are dependable, performance-oriented bikes made to have the crap ridden out of them, and the responsibility of the Tradesmen and women is to do just that: ride them, talk about them, take them to races, commute to work and the store, let people take them around the block, answer questions about them, and document their experiences with the bikes. This is no small responsibility, so Foundry's Tradesmen and women get a free Foundry bicycle of their choosing for their trouble (and to have something to write and talk about!). This kind of opportunity doesn't come along very often - apply to be a Tradesman here!

The Auger

Bryan gave us a sneak preview of the bikes here, but let's review:
Foundry is the newest brand to emerge from the QBP brain trust (the home of Surly, All-City, and Salsa, among others). Based on the principle that a bike should be "like a well-crafted tool - crafted to work, crafted to last", the company is offering three bikes for 2012: the Ratchet, a road bike, the Auger, a cyclocross bike (in disc and non-disc versions), and the Router, a hardtail 29er. All are full carbon bikes, rigorously tested for strength and durability, with top-notch parts packages selected for their reliability.

The Router

The venerable Dirt Rag got a chance to do an exclusive test ride on the Router and they loved it. You can read about it here. I'm sure we are going to be reading a lot more glowing Foundry reviews as the bikes roll out!
