At last night’s group ride, we capped off the evening by going to Roscoe’s in Fullerton. It’s a great place for beer and large sandwiches. It was really good to see the team(sans the Animal). Most of the night was filled with conversations about bikes, racing and more bikes! Good times!

This week I worked on right-sizing the steerer tube on my carbon fork and the width of my handlebars. On my last update (#1) I wasn’t quite sure which handlebar/stem to use. I’ve decided to give the KORE Torsion Bar and B52 stem a try. Stock length of the Torsion Bar was at 800mm, so…
