New Super Six

Cycling and racing season is here now that temperatures are getting into the 40s and 50s in Connecticut. I am so psyched I just got my new Cannondale Super Six and took my first ride up Whirlwind Hill today. We live at the top of this long and crazy 17% grade hill, and riders come from all over the state to tackle it. This bike is awesome at only 15.4 pounds give or take, it is extremely light, but on the down hill holds a line incredibly well. The Super Six is built with a full carbon fiber frame, rear triangle, forks, and even has carbon handlebars and brakes. I also stepped this years bike up first class with full Dura Ace components. I pretty much just want to put it in a room and stare at it. It is definitely a work of art in the bicycling world.

Special thanks to my good friend and Stage 1 team mate George Dickerson for helping me put the bike together and tune it up. George, by the way, is an fantastic DJ who is an incredible mixer that spins at some Manhattan clubs, and available for weddings and events. It's rare these days to find a DJ that can mix on his level.

Looks like I'll be able to catch a race this weekend in Bethel, CT. if I can wake up early enough on Sunday morning. I am sooo looking forward to a healthy summer filled with exercise and competition. I have to make time to get from behind the computer, and this is definitely part of what keeps me going strong.
