Ramblumtick Weight

Kyle,

I've never had the Ramblumtick weighed before. Sam made it 3 years ago and tried to make it as light as possible. I think the lightest I've ever gotten it was between 19-20 pounds. It has a full Ultegra group and so so wheels. I bet you could get the bike to 18 with Sram and Zipps. It's a great bike. I've thought about switching to something lighter every season, but I always end up going back to it. The fit is amazing and the ride is super smooth. Maybe I'll buy a frame sometime, but I'll always keep the Ramblumtick going.

Silver Mountain Weekend

We made it through the storm Saturday night and ended up at Silver Mountain Ski Area in Kellogg, ID. There trying to create a destination resort. We wanted to try it out before the prices got to high. We had a great stay at the Morning Star Lodge, complete with roof top hotubs and flat screen tv's. The skiing today was epic. They got 14 inches overnight. However the travel over Lookout Pass was treacherous. It was the worst conditions I've seen. I-90 got shut down westbound on our way home. Here's me in the king size bed.

I came home to see that Boom took Cross Worlds! He's been on fire as of late. No Americans cracked the top 20. That's the real story. After a promising 2007 Worlds, the American's come up short. The silver lining was Luke K's 1oth place in the junior race, and Canadian Wendy Simms taking 7th. Johnson and Powers raced well in the twenties, but Page couldn't crack the top ten.

Props tomorrow.
