H2H Mountain Series - Blue Mountain

I am preparing for the next race in the Campmor H2H Mountain bike series. Blue Mtn is a fun place. The climbs are fire road long and the down hills are rocky fun. I am going to bring the Jamis Xam Bicycle. This bike is plenty plush (6 inch) to absorb all that Blue can throw at it while keeping the ride and the handling XC like. I hope I do well this time, the past few races did not go so well. Keep riding and smiling.

Cool Weather moves in

So I get on my bike this morning in wayne new jersey and take my 10 mile ride to work. I see temperature before getting dressed, then say it will warm up when I get to the pompton lakes flatlands. Well it didnt, I put shorts and short sleeves on and I froze all the way there. After being used to the warm summer months the roll in of fall sure caught me off guard. Needless to say I ordered some cool weahter gear today. I chose Pearl Izumi's Pro softshell long bibs with a elite Long Sleeve jersey. That combo with a short or long sleeve base layer should take me into the upper 40's. I have time to choose a jacket, gloves, and winter riding shoes. I have my eye on the pro soft shell jacket, the new lobster claw full finger glves from Pearl Izumi. The shoes are the barrier GTX from Pearl Izumi, I have had a pair in the past and they are great. Prepare with smart layers and your riding will roll strong.
