SNOW DAY!

When I woke up this morning, this is what I saw outside my window. So, I opened up my email, and sure enough school was cancelled! So what better day to kick on some DEVO and make a blog. And man, it's still coming down like crazy.

I've been meaning to show off some of my new speed machines, so without further ado, here are some crude spy shots. It's not possible to capture the aesthetic beauty of these machines on camera without some good naturale light, not to mention some good Shimano-approved soap.

2008 Orbea Alma: Shimano XT drivetrain and brake set, XTR wheelset, Rockshox SID Team, Zeus carbon and aluminum components, 21.5 lbs complete

I took this bike to my new favorite NC trail, Dark Mountain, and man, this thing rips. The fit and geometry are better than any bike I have ridden in the past. It's light, climbs well and I can hit corners like I'm on a motocross bike. It does everything well.

2007 Trek X02: Shimano Ultegra/Dura Ace mix, Bontrager Race X Lite wheelset, Bontrager and FSA carbon and aluminum components

This is the latest addition to my stable. I bought it off Mike to use primarily as a training bike. It's my first ever curly bared bike. I really enjoy riding it especially on the fast down hills around here. I love to get in the drops and just hammer. This bike will allow me to take some training abuse off the Orbea and also make it possible for me to do some road racing.

In fact, this weekend I might head down to Georgia with the team for my first ever road race. It should be some good fast training.
