RTL training and wining ride

Three-fourths of team Totally Doable went up to the Napa Valley this
weekend for a set of Ride The Lobster training rides. These were hard
days; we only managed to go to five wineries and two breweries along
the way. We averaged about 10 miles per bottle of wine, which is
better mileage than a Prius.

As you can imagine, it was a brutal ride. Photos of our hardship are
up at [url]http://www.flickr.com/gp/83189681@N00/v7nH67[/url].

I used the Big Apple 29x2.35 on Saturday, and the Big Apple 28x2.0 on
Sunday. I came away liking the 28x2.0--the lighter weight and the
better performance on camber might make it my choice for the race.
It's squirrelly when it's pumped up to its rated pressure (70psi), but
with a little softness to the tire it rides really nicely.

That flower pic is one of the nicest uni pics I've ever seen. Sorry to
hear about your suffering.
