The Bike
My bike is a 2012 Trek Madone 6.5. I have named it Rudy. The name comes from the movie Rudy. I love when the team chants "Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!" towards the end of the movie. It is quite inspirational! I always chant that to myself as I am trying to make it up a big climb. It encourages me to keep trying! Never stop trying!
This year I changed my cassette out from a 11-28 to a 12-30 to help me get up the hills on RAGBRAI. It did the trick. I am now changing the cassette to an 11-34 to give me an easier gear to get over some of the passes we will encounter. It will allow me to spin more instead of cranking so hard on the pedals. I also am upgrading my Di2 10 gears to 11's.
I have made arrangements for my bike to be disassembled and boxed up for shipping by The Spoke Shop in Billings. The bike will be mailed to Bernie's Bike Shop in San Diego, CA where it will be assembled and ready for me to pickup on March 5th.
Yikes!!! March 5th is only 39 days away!

Got a chance to ride outside today!
Do you recall how much it cost to get your bike to San Diego? ...the Billings bike shop charge, shipping, and SD bike shop charge? A total is fine. Thanks.
