Cycling Crazy!

Hello Everyone! It's been a while since I've posted anything. I haven't really had a lot to report, but now that the new year is around, I'm excited to get back in the saddle.
This here is my new bike! It's a 2007 Specialized Tarmac Pro. It's a lot nicer (and newer) than my other bike. I still bought this one used, but I knew the previous owner and he took great care of it. It's made of carbon fiber and weighs about 16 lbs. It flies! I can't wait to race on it!

The company I work for so kindly sponsored me this year and I've been able to purchase some equipment that I needed in exchange for some marketing

Here's my other bike. A 2000 Trek 5500. It's been a great bike and I'll probably still ride it quite a bit.
Here's my new bike racing jerseys for this year:

Injinji is still sponsoring me: www.injinji.com
Smiths Sunglasses are still giving me some pro discounts which is nice: www.smithsport.com
And of course Prestige Care Inc. which is the corporation that employs me! They are a great company to work for and I'm happy to be competing for them also.

Creswell Care Center is the home that I'm in charge of. I've been the Administrator there for 2 1/2 years now. I'm really enjoying it. Creswell is located about 10 miles south of Eugene. We live in West Eugene and I commute to work on my bike frequently (40-50 miles round trip).

Here's the back of the jersey.

And here's a full shot. . .toe socks and all! I'm a bit heavier than what I was at while I was running in college, but some of that is the strength training in my upper body. I'm a bit stockier than I was back then.

Sweet. Love the Biking getup. Although I'm more of a mountain biker... I can't seem to get around on the asphalt rivers (roads). When are you racing?

The new kit looks pretty nice. I can't wait to see you out riding in it. Just don't crash and ruin it like you did with my bike shirt. I still think you need to put back the picture of your road rash on your butt.

That's awesome Jerome! Looks like you're still playing hard! You know in the my january marathon the male winner came in at 2:11 or so and your best time was just behind that. You sure you don't want to run more marathons!! Oh, I'm working on training for a tri now. Just need to learn how to swim and I'll be set. Have you ever done a tri. My guess is you'd rock at it just like you do everything else! Take care!
