FLASHPOINT IN ACTION!

Let's get this blogging started...... :)
It appears I'm the lucky Flashpoint Fanatic, as I've actually had my very own set of FP-60s for quite some time now and have had ample opportunity to check them out.  What a great set of wheels!  I got them right at the end of racing season, so I haven't had a chance to race them yet, but they have been great for training.  I've been adamant about not training on my Zipps, so having the aero Flashpoint wheels for the fast training rides has been awesome!
I've ridden them pretty much non-stop since September, until the weather turned super snowy/icy/and windy - which made the deep dish a bit difficult to manage.  However, Indiana weather has somehow decided to be nice to us cyclists lately, so I've been able to put my Flashpoints back on and log lots of road miles over the past month or so.
Also, not only am I lucky enough to have a sweet new pair of wheels, but I just (last week) got an amaaaazing new Roark to put them on!  (see pic).  Man do they look great with the bike!  I switched to 10 speed, so I still have to switch up the cassette on the rear FP-60 before I can ride it, but the front one has officially survived a super hard and hilly training ride this weekend!
The "ramp up the training for next season" has officially begun, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the Flashpoints play a role!
Well, back to the schoolwork, but it's supposed to be over 50 this afternoon so a ride is definitely on the agenda!
