YAY!

I finally had a good solid race today. I pushed hard, and pulled out in first. I really think some of the reason that I could go so fast, is the tires that I was running. I had just put a Maxxis Maxxlite 1.9 on the rear, 325 grams. I think the low rolling resistance won the race for me. My front tire was just a Ritchey something or other, it's just ok. I think I'm going to get some of these Schwalbe tires. They look WAY cool. I'm thinking about a Furious Fred 2.0 in the rear (semi-slick) and a Racing Ralph 2.1 for the front. These tires are ridiculously light. The Fred weighs 295 grams, and the Ralph weighs 460 grams. They should get even better grip than the tires that I'm running right now.

I should be getting my bike transformed with all the new parts before Deer Valley race, I will post some pictures of it now, and then later I will put up some pictures with all the new parts on it. I'm not sure what kind of terrain Deer Valley is, I hope I can get away with my Maxxlite tires, because I won't have the other tires that soon.
