Monterey Sea Otter Classic - April 15-18, 2010


There's a local bike tour in Central California! They have set it up for certain lengths. Go check it out and sign up!

SEA OTTER CLASSIC - MONTEREY, CA

Picked up a new trainer!

So I sold my Bell Trainer because I thought it was just too loud. Plus it has some vibrations when I rode on it. I went around SF's mission district and roamed around. I checked out a couple thrift stores for some books and trinkets.   But I ended up finding a GREAT DEAL! It was too cheap to mention.  But here it is:


The Minoura Mag 500

This trainer is pretty sweet and lightweight. I have rode on it for an hour and felt it did the job.  The resistance knob is located in the tire drive.  So I have to manually get off the trainer to switch resistance.  But of course, I could just switch gears. 

So for you cyclists out there, go to thrift stores and find some good stuff!
