We’re going to Florida tomorrow, for six days. Not our usual adventure holiday, that’s for sure, but hey, it’s warm there, and the kids will get to see the Kennedy Space Center.

I’ve spent the last week looking at road bikes on eBay. Since I’m kinda addicted to this cyclocross thing now, I thought having a bike for each might be a good idea, since it’s hard to ride on the road when the bike is in ‘cross mode. There are some decent deals out there right now (including a Lemond Beunos Aires–Reynolds 853 frame!), but I can’t bring myself to hang the Cannondale from a hook for the next nine months (especially with the slick new bars I won at Murrysville). The Cannondale is made in the U.S.A., has an Ultegra drivetrain (well, mostly), and fits like a glove. I’m mulling over perhaps simply getting another set of wheels, and using one set for ‘cross and the other for road, thus allowing me to simply swap wheels. I’m also trying to sell the Monocog (interested?), and if that sells, then I may more seriously pursue a used road machine, but for the time being, the Cannondale is The One.

Oh, and I mentioned news about team membership? Well, here it is.
