giro di peninsula

Sunday I rode the 100k in the Giro Di Peninsula. First I'll tall about how my bike did, then I'll talk about how I did.

My Tirreno Razza 900 did pretty well. After about 50 miles the pedals started making some unpleasant noises. The scratching sound from my rear axle didn't get any worse. I noticed a chip in my carbon fork, and it's clear that the Isis platinum bottom bracket won't last too long. I'll need to get the MegaQuad bottom bracket.

I guess it is just dirty. I'll need to clean and lube the pedals, I'm a little worried about the chip in the fork since I have heard that damaged carbon forks are suspect, but maybe that was only the old forks.

As far as me. I am stronger than I thought I was, but not as strong as I'd like to be.
