Cobrabike back on the road!

My poor old SRAM X.0 derailleur that gave out on the Richmond Roundabout last weekend is now replaced with a brand new 2006 SRAM X.0 derailleur!



It's so nice.

List price: $265.00
Speedgoat price: $235.00 (speedgoat.com, my fave Internet discount bike part source)
eBay "Buy it now" from some random guy: $170.00

I love eBay. And it was in my hands in 3 days. Still hard to justify when the Buy it now for an X.9 was only around $55. Ooooh carbon.

This weekend is the last chance to get ready for the Fleche. Jim and I are riding to Laura's beach condo in Ocean City tomorrow. From here. This means I have to predeploy my car to the west end of the Bay Bridge.



Tomorrow we drive over the bridge, and leave the car at the park-and-ride on the other side. Then Sunday we ride back and repeat the process.



It's 32 miles from the parking lot by Jamals Rt 50 Bay Bridge Discount Liquor Mart to home via the B&A trail, if you go out to the entrance to Sandy Point State Park so you can take a picture of the bridge.

Debra and Laura drove out to the beach tonight, so they will be well prepared to fix us margaritas when we arrive tomorrow.
