I would like to welcome you to the newest member of my immediate family. Big brown delivered my beautiful Litespeed Siena frameset today! The cat is now out of the bag as Litespeed has officially signed on board as my official bike supplier. I will be logging huge miles on this lightweight race rocket of a road bike. I will be tearing the dirt up on the Sewanee lightweight racer dualie. I can’t wait to see this mountain bike…

This delivery came this evening, after an already excellent day. Today was yet another endurance ride. I set out to ride 4+ hours. 4 was to be a minimum if I was dragging a bit, but the option of longer was there if the legs were going good. After four hours I was still going strong so I added another 45 minutes to the ride, still feeling pretty dang good. 85 miles on the day, but the legs don’t seem to mind. I must have some extra mitochondria growing…

Tomorrow I’ll be visiting the local shop to press in the headset cups and get the appropriate brake nuts for the frame and fork combo. A seatpost is the only component I’ll need to find to get this new rocket up and running. There will be some additional sponsor news to come in the next weeks so stay tuned. Enjoy the Ride, -TJ
