Hey y'all - I want to welcome a few folks to the long-overdue-updated Blogroll.
First off, Flamenco Chuckwagon, whose rear wheel tried to eat his derailer, to ill effect, at the RFK Crit Cat IV race I was in. Thank goodness he blogged about it, because inquiring minds (AKA my Sainted Wife) wanted to know how the hell somebody destroyed their rear wheel so comprehensively in a race with no epic crashes.
Then there's Kyle Jones' joint, Pedal'n Around. Kyle is Strong Like Boool. Don't think I'll be messing with him any time soon, even if he does have knots in his ass.
Finally, there's Mike May with his tremendously useful Gam Jams. He keeps up a comprehensive MABRA race calendar, something that is beyond the ken of the overworked volunteers of MABRA. He also gives out some linky-love, which is nice.

I'm glad to see you're making friends. I felt even better when I discovered the nature of the demise of that rear wheel. From the initial description I thought you'd befriended a "special" person whose maintenance didn't extend to adjusting the rear derailleur properly. It warmed my heart to discover that the derailleur had been helped into the wheel by a 3rd party. An idiot, for sure, but at least it wasn't your guy.

Hey, Thanks for the mention. My wheel is still completely janked. I am waiting for new spokes - you have to cut normal spokes to size and then get threads rolled onto them with a spoke threader. Pain in the butt. After Reston I was kind of wishing that I didn't have a wheel to use and had an excuse to sit it out. Tough race. - Dave
