Its been a while....

Well folks it has been quite some time since we have a had post. So much has happened. I am working on some product reviews, ride reviews, and general cycling stuff. Its also a new year and my big hope is we can get some contributing writers as well. Here is to a very good 2016!

How far should you be away from another rider before you YACK!

Well today I cracked the 3,000 kilometer mark for the year. That isnt a lot for some but for me it is huge! Today I also set my highest 75% average at 32kph. So all in all a great morning ride. I had the new egg beaters and new Giro Republic shoes as well. The highlight of the ride though was Brandon and his near vomiting experience. So that brings us to the question at hand. How far should you be away from other riders when you are about to yack? Brandon chose the safe route and let me lead the ride and stayed a safe 30 meters behind. For me, well I have a different approach. The other riders should pay mind to my yelling or abnormal hand waving to create a vomit buffer zone. The vomit buffer zone should take wind, splash radius, and head whip into account. What do you think?

*Disclaimer: There was no actual yacking on this ride, Brandon was just very close.

Spinneys Dubai 92 update

Well the race is closing in and we have three confirmed participants from the Missing Links. Eric, Brandon and myself are all confirmed. We are hoping we pick up one or two more folks to round out the team. We have plenty of space in the van and in the hotel room.  

First real ride on the Lynskey

Well I was finally able to get out and put in a few real miles on the Roadie. During my dial in rides I had to swap my 25 set back seat post out with a 0 set back. The only thing left is my handlebars are a little but up and  I will move them down a bit. Over all the bike is nice and stiff and I was able to attack the small climbs with a lot more power then on the MTB.

The Lynskey is here!

Well folks it has been a long two years waiting for the right time to buy my road bike. It is almost ready to go!

Here are a few pictures of the un boxing and build. 

Ironman Meeting

Hey guys lets get together on 10/16 and go over the IronMan. My place at 1600. Bring a finger food and I promise my dip will be better!

Race update

Well everyone it has been a week or so since my last post. The Missing Links have been sick. Finally everyone is back to good health and we are ready to get on with our Bahrain Ironman 70.3 and Spinney Dubai 92 training. Team A has already been registered. Team A is Matt England, Brandon Gibson and Kelvin Mcghee. It is my opinion that they have a real shot at taking a spot in the Relay. Brandon and myself have registered for Spinney's but I am sure more of the group will sign up soon.
