What you see is what you get?

It's been a few weeks since my last update. Where should we begin? Once the spring semester of school started it was face first in the books. This semester I'm taking Art History, Spanish, Glass blowing, and English writing; do I work you ask? In a sense taking 15 credit hours for college, cycling 300 miles a week, studying for exams, and helping friends with photography. Enough about that, my spanish is coming along quite nicely, I am really digging my professor he is quite comical. As most know I love cycling "understatement" in the last three weeks I have purchased 3 bicycles and have sold 2. Currently my line up is my Trek T1 fixed gear brakeless, recently we threw some Continental Gator skins on it. The newest addition is my Trek 2.1 with all Sram Force group set, minus Sram Rival carbon double tap shifters, and all components are from a Trek 5.1 Madone I absolutely love this bike and he shifts like butter. As some know I recently joined Tri Power race team out of Virginia Beach, Virginia; the atmosphere of the group is amazing everyone is very informative. Along with my extra riding, I broke down and purchased cycling shoes, cycling bibs etc. Let me be the first to admit I have hated on the spandex gear but from experience wearing the correct gear really makes riding more enjoyable. Overall I try and ride at least 300 miles per week thats commuting, solo, and group riding; along with 7-9 hours per week on my indoor trainer. Why am I doing this? For the first time in my life, I can honestly say I enjoy the competitive environment of cycling. Pushing my body to new boundaries is awesome, but being able to muscle over the pain, drown the agony out grit your teeth and get to work. Priceless. After a hard ride Sunday morning I came home to awesome breakfast Ashley whipped up for us. What was it you ask! "Sausage rolls" Cooking is not my strong point at all, but admitting Ashley is amazing is fairly easy SHE IS AMAZING! My main focus with photography besides cycling and cycling gear has been Jobie. He is so photogenic and makes taking photos easy. Our eyes stay peeled open for possible Sphynx sitings if anyone knows of a Sphynx that needs adoption please email us. Thanks for viewing.
