I've been swept up in RAAM fever. I'm on a team with a few other people from the Tri Club planning on doing RAAM '08. We need sponsors, and then we'd have to train big-time for this event. We're in a mad scramble to line the sponsors up in the next couple months as the deadline for the lower cost entry fee is December 15th.

I got the Merlin the other week, and with a few tweaks, it's a sick ride. Full titanium, carbon fork, seat tube and other little amenities. Wheelset is Real Designs Ultrasphere, which weigh in at a cool 1365 grams a pair. It's damn light. I'm training on other wheels, because the Real Designs are a little fragile for use in the dark predawn streets of DC. Gonna be spending a lot more time on a trainer in coming months--so the streets and their potholes won't matter...
