5 teeth pulled

After an excellent ride in Corner Canyon this morning, I went in to get some teeth pulled.  2 teeth on the bottom and 3 on the top.

Why do such a thing? PCPP in just over a week. I went down to 39/26.  Remember, I'm just trying to finish and survive the PCPP.  Losing a few teeth from the chain rings should help.

In addition to the new chainrings, I put on some new brake pads and had a bike tune.   The bike shop even cleaned off the cow pie residue from riding in Payson Canyon.

Here is the video Brandon put together.

In the video, there are some powerbar gel blasts (very tasty BTW) that I had licked and stuck to my top tube.  Surprisingly, it worked quite well.  Who needs a bento box??

Garmin has been one of my favorite companies.  I have owned an edge 305 and 705.  They have taken care of me when a car ran over my Edge 705.

A Post.... Finally

I was chastised for not posting to this blog.

Here is the update:

• I've been riding - not as much as I would like
• The Park City P2P is coming up quick followed by LOTOJA the next weekend
• My weight is good, but fitness isn't quite up where I would like it.

Lots of awesome cycling events have been happening.  The Tour of Utah was fun to watch.  Another, the Colorado Trail Race, was fun to follow.

Here is a link to a blog that gives a sweet report on the CTR--A guy with Type 1 diabetes.
