So I’ve recently added the Powertap wheel to my SRM equipped Litespeed Siena. Why ride with dual powermeters you ask? Well, to learn of any possible discrepancies between the two of course… Perhaps, if nothing more, I’ll learn how efficient my drivetrain is with this project. Such a setup definitely classifies me as ‘Bike Dork’ or as ‘The Bike Geek’ as said in some formerly published article. No I don’t intend to use this setup for the long term, but I’m curious to see how they compare with each other for at least a week of training.

I know that the elections have come and past, but I figure it’s better to post this shot late rather than never. I rode by this lawn nearly every day as it’s on the Third St bikeway here in town. It’s the greenest lawn in the city and it has an ‘Educators for Conservation’ political banner curbside. I was lucky enough to have my camera along one of the days when the sprinklers were spraying all over the the lawn and the sign. You might not be able to see the water beads on the sign, but notice the wet sidewalk. I guess conservation can some how exclude water conservation. We are in a desert here, aren’t we? Perhaps these were the folks needing an education on conservation!

And the random picture of this post; my tostada snack. It was simply too beautiful to eat before taking a picture. So I’ll leave you that to chew on. The off-season is drawing near its end as the training will soon resume. Stay tuned,
