New Parts = Recharge

Its amazing how simple things like new bike parts or a clean bike can pump you up to ride. When you ride 6 days a week, its easy to lose a little excitement and enthusiasm. But anytime something new comes into the picture, you can't wait to get on the bike. Let alone if you get a new bike then you have the whole "new bike psyche" going on. But this past week I got new tires, new bar tape and I cleaned my road bike and I felt a total "recharge" when I rode Saturday. This week I'm getting new drivetrain parts for the mountain bike (cassette, chain & chain rings) and already, I cannot wait to ride it!
