COLD AND DARK.... DARK AND COLD

In knee warmers, arm warmers, vest and in the dark....  That is how the ride last night finished.  I love this time of year in Indiana, but seriously, it needs to be light just a little bit longer for my taste.  I did manage to squeeze in another good ride post work yesterday and put some good efforts in on the Flash Point 40's.  The wheels are still every bit as responsive as the day that I picked them up and are quickly becoming one of my favorite "every day" wheels to ride. 
I had to stop last night and buy a new set of knee warmers about a 1/3 of the way into my ride because I thought that it was going to get too cold for my fragile frame (for most of you that don't know me, I'm every bit of 190 lbs and only about 5 foot 9 so fragile is not the most often used phrase used to describe me.  If you are just getting into my blog here today, I'm the grinning idiot in the catalog).  Anyways, I stopped at one of our local retailers to pick up a pair and had the chance to show off the new Flash Points a little early.  As I had hoped, the guys at the shop were fairly excited to see what was coming and also quite impressed with the look and aesthetics of the wheel set.  It was nice to have some one elses opinion, even if they were looking just at the wheel from a cosmetic point of view. 
 
So the ride went well, no problems what so ever with the wheels.  I think that the engine still needs a little work, so I'll keep riding and logging miles as long as I can stand the cold weather and diminishing sunlight. 
Ciao for now...
