On The Move: Edinburgh Cross Race 2014
http://inquintessence1.blogspot.com/2014/11/edinburgh-cross-race-2014.html
The Adventures of Rick. Saturday, November 1, 2014. Edinburgh Cross Race 2014. My first (and only so far) cyclocross race this season. Ironic what happens when you work at a bike shop you don't get to race as much! For some reason the sand pit owned me that day.I didn't get through it clean once. The bunny hop over the log at 18-20 mph was my redemption! This was my first race on the Wilier and the bike is fantastic! I'm not getting rid of the Ritchey Ti Cross but this Wilier is sweet! Matt's a U23 (SBR).

On The Move: November 2011
http://inquintessence1.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
The Adventures of Rick. Tuesday, November 29, 2011. Turkey Shoot Cyclocross Race. We have only just started 'cross season here. Something about racing in above 80' weather makes it tough to think about doing cross! This race is a favourite of mine; it's in Tampa (close), it's a technical course and it has great views of Tampa bay. My race (45 ) was at 9:30am and I was picking up Tony do it was a 7am leave the house time. Showed what I felt.I didn't leave anything out there. Here's some photos I took.

On The Move: Some sweet shoes for the Venge!
http://inquintessence1.blogspot.com/2014/03/some-sweet-shoes-for-venge.html
The Adventures of Rick. Thursday, March 13, 2014. Some sweet shoes for the Venge! I've been testing some different wheels to buy to replace my FSA tubies that have been breaking spokes too frequently. I was torn to get a set of new tubies but I wanted to play around with different tire sizes and clincher was the only way to do that so for the most part I check out different clincher wheelsets. No science behind my testing but more of a feel on how they felt. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Dan's less...

On The Move: Update long over due
http://inquintessence1.blogspot.com/2012/12/update-long-over-due.html
The Adventures of Rick. Monday, December 3, 2012. Update long over due. This is crazy late but let's just say I've been pretty busy! I left my job at Finn Marketing for the Sales Manager position at Chainwheel Drive bike shop in September, traded in my beat company minivan that I bought cheap for a used 2009 Mini Cooper,. Retired the Ellsworth Scant and am riding a 2012 Specialized S-Works Venge. I did the Horrible 100 also (more on that later) with folks from Gearlink and the MCC crew. Matt's a U23 (SBR).

On The Move: February 2012
http://inquintessence1.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
The Adventures of Rick. Saturday, February 4, 2012. Back into Motorcycling - Honda FT500. I've been itching to get a motorcycle that I could commute to work on every since I sold my Honda Element. I've been watching eBay and Craigslist for an older Thumper (single cylinder) or twin to make a cafe racer type of bike with (on a TIGHT budget). It has minor issues but was really clean and fun to drive so I bought it. Her name is Thumper, btw.these photos show how it looks now to what I started with. What tur...

The Adventures of Rick. Sunday, November 17, 2013. Is Blogging dying in this day of 30 second attention span.ie. Facebook? I do admit I keep the FB page more up to date than my Blogger. After saying that but not updating my blog for this long is nutz! I'll do a better job with more details. My job as Sales Manager at Chainwheel Drive has been a great experience and has help make the year fly by! One of the first things I did was to design and get a new shop kit out. Sadie is doing great. I Want His Job.

On The Move: July 2014
http://inquintessence1.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
The Adventures of Rick. Monday, July 28, 2014. Damn, what a nice surprise! I bought a Wilier Cross bike (we are a Wilier Dealer) and built it out from the parts off my beloved Ritchey Ti Cross bike. To say that the ride qualities are sweet would be a big f'ing understatement! I put the OMG Enve 6.7s on it and with SRAM Force 10 spd on it it was just a stupid 16 lbs! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
