That was December
As whined about, December was a rough month. Yesterday, PJ, Asher and I met at Heine's Chenoweth for a spirit 30-miler to finish the year out. Everyone was timely and we set down a frisky pace, one I hoped I would be able to maintain for the 30m/2hrs. Descending Lime Kiln Ln. I heard a "thunk" and knew right away that a spoke had failed me. I was disappointed to break a spoke on the fancy wheels after only 850 miles, but those are the breaks. I went by the shop on the way home and got it fixed.
I sent PJ and Asher on to finish their mileage and I headed back to Heine's via River Rd. and Indian Hills. I was sort of surprised until now to see that I averaged 16.5mph even after backing off due to the spoke incident and easing up Indian Hills. Makes me remiss that I didn't get a chance to put the hammer down for longer with the guys. Sea lo que sea.

I keep hearing about the trouble some folks are having with their wheels. I loathe machine-built wheels, although they are getting better than the norm of twenty years ago. You have, of course, heard that I build wheels, and that my wheels seem to hold up well.
Thanks for the word, Tom. Might have to contact you.
Well then. You had just enough of a sniff of the speedy stuff to whet the appetite. Now you're hungry for more. That's the way to start the year. Make it a good one.
