So when JeffV is not riding or having some sort of sport related surgery it seems he was taking some time out to update and enhance WeeklyRides.com.

It is because he has done such a great job with that site that I decided to remove the event calendar from mine. No sense in multiple people doing the same job reaching pretty much the same audience. So if you are looking for an event or a ride in the area, just go to WeeklyRides.com.

The makers of Hüdz, the aftermarket brake hood manufacturer, has been listening to their customers. They have just introduced a new version of their popular replacement hoods called Softgrip. They are or will be available shortly for Campagnolo Ergo v2/v3, SRAM, Dura-Ace 7800/7900 and Ultegra/105 levers in a variety of colors. Colors include; Bastogne Blue, Bordeaux Gold, Brugge Black, Eroica Celeste, Ghent Grey, Lombardia Orange, Paris Pink, Roubaix Red, San Remo Green, Vlaanderen Yellow, and Wallonne White. They are also working on a clear hood made with a slightly different composition making them hypoallergenic.

New Shoes

January is about half over and we are just getting ready to start our season. Well maybe start after this week’s cold spell is over. Nicole got herself some new shoes.

It’s not like she needed new shoes, but sometimes you find a deal that is just too good to pass up. While looking over an email ad from Sierra Trading Post I found these Sidi’s on sale.

SRAM Issues Recall

I know that some of you in the area split time between road riding and trail riding. I wanted to pass on this notice just in case it effects you.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with SRAM, has announced a voluntary recall of about 175 RockShox Domain 302 and 318 forks.

SRAM issued its own voluntary recall on these forks this past November.

Yin & Yang – Update #11

Okay, so we still do not have a new tandem. Sad

The latest news is that we don’t have any. Brent at Rue Sports is still on holiday in NY and we believe my frame is still at the sanders in California who is also still on vacation. I should have a better update next week.

I guess it’s a good thing that its rainy Stormy Cloud and windy Umbrella here!
