Tarmac Pro SL SRAM

FROM THE SPRING CLASSICS to the Grand Tours, the Tarmac has proven itself to be the professional rider's bike of choice. A world championship and a Tour de France green jersey lend proof to our claim that no frame is lighter and stiffer.1x1.gif

  • The scientifically proven Body Geometry Toupé, with carbon reinforced base and hollow Ti rails, is easy on your soft parts.
  • The Pro SL seatpost uses our FACT carbon construction for lightweight strength. The integrated Zertz insert absorbs energy-robbing vibrations.
  • The Tarmac Pro SL, built with FACT 10r carbon using our FACT IS construction, features our compact race design with an oversized BB. The result is a supremely lightweight, incredibly efficient frame.
  • The Specialized FACT Pro carbon crankset provides incredible pedaling efficiency, and mates perfectly with the oversized BB of the Tarmac Pro SL frame.
  • The 3D-forged Pro-Set stem features an oversized bar-clamp area for sure, precise steering.
  • The S-Works SL FACT carbon handlebar is stiff, strong, and light weight.
  • The S-Works FACT carbon monocoque fork has an oversized race for incredible strength and precision.

 Cross Season a success!


I raced the whole cross season this year.  I wasn't super, but I was out there every weekend, and actually did have a couple good races.  Motivation was pretty high most of the time.  I still have this weekend to race, but no matter what happens it was already a success for me.  Next year for cross my goals will be a little higher, I'd like to get back to form where I can be racing for the W once and awhile.   Maybe I am just dreaming but that never hurt anyone!

Time to start to get the kit set up!

Pedal.


 Zim, Rients and I rocked it at the superfarm yesterday.  My mtb skills are at about 90%.  I crashed 3 times but only because I was going so aggro.  I did a full 180 on a turn.  It wasn't quite like my 360 I pulled at spirit mountain one year, but still.  I raced last weekend if you want to call it that.  I showed my face, sometimes that is all you can do.

 Improving, but not good yet.


 Did better this week.  I didn't quit, and I didn't get lapped.  Still not riding super though.  Just kinda rolled around.  The course was pretty fun at the YMCA, a few too many turns for my liking, but can't complain too much.  Frye took some cool pics.

 St Cloud Cross


 Lead the first lap.  Then, well.  As Donimator11@twitter put it:

"I thought @Danswanson11 looked the best in the A race today.  Technically he put on a clinic.  Think he didn't?"

Might be able to use it on water too!


Oh, I have been riding quite a bit too.  I love the fall!  Hopefully I can race well for cross this year.  I am a year out of practice but I think it will be ok, I got this to help with that..

Hopefully I can manage to beat this guy one and a while, but it is going to be tough.  I think he turned in his spacecat for the same ride.

Till next time!

Rumor is even The Mean Dawg will show up from time to time. It is his favorite cycling discipline after all.   I am not going to make all the races, but am going to try to do a race a weekend.

Bike Racing 


I kinda think the tour is bad for bike racing.  

Seems like during and after no one wants to race anymore?

Weekday racing is over for the year? 

Here is a pic to make the blog post a little bit longer.

Oh, I went mtbing.  I used to be a pro.  I think with 2 weeks practice I could be good again.  If only daytons woods wasn't banned to bikes.
