Just pulled the trigger on a Cervelo P2 TT/Tri bike. It's at the LBS waiting for me to get an hour for bike fit and swap some parts. Have a set of Reynolds Assault carbon clinchers ready to go for it. Hopefully I'll have it for a 20k TT I'm signed up for on Saturday. Then it's time for me to get focused on the Tris I have planned. waytogo

tucson is a great winter place to train.  I lived there for 2 winters and moved back up to the midwest way stronger due to riding there.  do the shootout and see some real hammers do what they do while you can. bacon

Hey Diva,

Sorry I didn't even see this posting. I don't know anything about it, but given that I'm here, I could easily check it out for you if you're seriously interested.

Training in general here in Tucson is amazing. It's been called "the cycling mecca" of the US. I'm out on the road by 5:15am most days - temps are cool, winds are null (in the morning), and you can't beat the sunrises - summer afternoons are a different story though: hot and very windy +20mph winds are the norm.

Anyone else wear ear plugs when they cycle?

I just started to, due to the tube in my ear, and WOW!   waytogo

It is nice not to have the wind noise and I feel like I'm able to concentrate on my ride better.  

Very similar to wearing plugs on the  [moto]

You know, it's funny that you would say that. I recently had the thought that cyclists could end up with wind noise damage to our ears just as we do on the motorcycles.

Mostly when I ride, since I ride alone, I listen to music through a set of earbuds.

Holy crap!

This just in:

LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- Tyler Hamilton has given his 2004 cycling gold medal to the United States Anti-Doping Agency.

In an interview with "60 Minutes" broadcast Thursday on the "CBS Evening News," Hamilton admitted he doped and said Lance Armstrong did as well.

The International Olympic Committee had said it could strip Hamilton of his time trial gold at the Athens Olympics, but USADA released a statement Friday saying Hamilton had already handed over the medal.

The IOC provisionally investigated Hamilton for doping after he won in 2004, but the case was dropped after his backup sample was mistakenly frozen.

Hamilton's former U.S. Postal Service teammate Viatcheslav Ekimov of Russia stands to be upgraded from silver.
