Almanzo 100 update
Looks like the course for this years Almanzo is going to be a loop begining and ending in Rochester. Start/Finish line is Bicycle Sports bike shop. There is also a registration deadline. It's coming up quick on April 6th. Make sure if you want to ride, you get your postcard in before then.
I still havn't chosen a steed for this. I really guess it'll come down to the week or so before, and how the roads look then. I've ridden many of the gravel roads around here on my orange fixed, and it's been fine. But ... if the gravel is loose, or it's rained and the ground is soft, it may not work. Then I'll have to use the commuter. But I worry about it's strength. The frame material is one step above pig iron, so it's no lightweight. Maybe I can get Gunnar Bikes to send me a Cross Hairs with Paragon slider dropout's spaced at 126mm. That would be the ticket. Clearance for cross tires. Similar positioning as my road bike. It would rock.
Update: Race finished.
