Indy Fab rebiuld

Well it has begun, I'm starting a rebiuld of my indy fab.

I figured it was worth it since I have been riding it in its current state since 2003....

The upgrades
Manitou Black 125mm fork
Mavic Crossland UST wheelset
IRC UST tires
Kaloy Seatpost
SDG saddle

All in all it should shave just over 4lbs off my bike!!!!!! ha crazy!

Parts started coming in today :)


I think I'm gonna try and install the fork sunday and hopefully I have all the new stuff ready for our pre-ride of the 12hrs of Temecula Course next sunday.

Course details are up here

Last road ride before mexico. Was going out to just spin easy but Matt was out to ride. I didn't feel that good to start, I'm really starting to get the feeling for my warming up. It really takes me about 15 mins or so to get in the groove, today it was turning onto Via de La Via. I stepped it up there and took a good pull up that small climb, felt good up to the PCH and up del mar. Dropped off at bit in the decent but made a go at catching matt on the last short uphill I got within 50 yrds but couldn't bridge the gap. Good ride! Activity Route: -- Elev.

Mexico updates

Well I keep talking about this ride from Rosarito to Ensenada Mexico.

@ 10am saturday we leave from Rosarito and follow the Baja Coastal Hiway (think PCH just in mexico) Its pretty flat for the first 25 miles, then the coarse turns inland and we climb "El Tigre". The climb is 2 miles long and a 7.5% grade it leads to a mesa that then goes up to 1,000 feet and is full of rolling hills (steep rollers that can really get to you)

Then there is a huge long decent a quick flat before you hit the Coastal hiway again and its a slight decent all to the way to Ensenada!

My goal this time is to try and get to 2:50 minutes thats an avg of 17.5Mph.

here is the route.



so that is the deal.

Light riding week this week to save up my energy.


Then its lots of MTB'ing to get ready for the 12hrs of Temecula.

So last long ride before Rosarito. Damn this one hurt! we road from sorrento valley to lake hodges and back. no HUGE climbs per say but damn there were alot of rolling hills. I wasn't out to push myself but we did. Joe and I road well but the Road handed my butt to me! Still having a few involuntary calf spazums.....
