Day 39...Its A Campy Kind Of Day

Ok, this feels much better.  A bit more lucid and definitely more awake at this time of day.  It started early, like 5am early.  Woke up and couldnt go back to sleep, so I decided to get some things done.  Went to the grocery store, caught up on some Anime via Hulu Plus, made coffee, gave the youngest a bath(he was up early and needed one) and made the wife some lunch(sorta).  Oh, got some loads of laundry folded and in the washer.

So yesterday at the shop we got the complete 411 on the new FIZIK Custom Insoles, which are a joint venture between Fizik and Sidas.  Click HERE to go to the FIZIK page on their shoes, and at the bottom youll see info on Sidas.  These things are amazing.  Ive had a pair for almost a year now and all my hotspots are gone!  Kirk...aka Bossman...got himself a pair via the tutorial yesterday.  We, Creekside Bikes, are one of 4 dealers in the Denver Metro area now to carry the insoles.  The process takes all of 15mins from start to finish(compare that to Shimano which makes you pack a lunch), and the price is very right...$85!!!  So if you want to give your feet new life, or make an old pair of shoes feel like new, come by!

Today is an uber cool one for sure.  Campagnolo USA is coming to Denver to do in info session on the new EPS drivetrain.  Kirk and I are going down to The Curtis Hotel downtown for the seminar at noon.  Im so excited to see this stuff.  Aside from the fact that Campy is my 1st choice for components, and I LOVE to fix it(which saves people LOTS of $$$$ compared to Shimano when it breaks), getting to see the new EPS in person and take that knowledge back to our customers will be awesome.

Also this week, if things go well and there are no major snow storms between here and Chicago this week, the shop should see its shipment of Colnagos!  Theres a World Cup frameset in there with my name on it...tee hee!  Stay tuned for photos on the bikes as they arrive and I get them built.

Alright, hopefully this shift in posting time will work out for everyone...everyone who takes their time to read my rants...THANK YOU!

Day 17...Photos This Time

Yep, I actually took photos today.  Bit of a busy one, errands w/the boys, then Dr's office for Zach's 2yr check up, then making bread, and giving it a go at roasting a chicken officially from scratch for the first time.  After all that, doing some work on my friend's Custom Pegoretti.  Its going down to the shop tomorrow for the "Bikes and Beer" event this Friday...5-7pm for any who are interested...to hang up for some oooo-ing and aaaaah-ing.

Later skaters...boots out

turned out pretty good.  The wife was happy!
