The Ride Across Indiana (RAIN) is a road cycling timed event. It begins at the western border between Illinois and Indiana. Approximately 1,200 riders line up there and ride 160 miles across the state and finish in Richmond, In at the eastern border with Ohio. The event has a rich history and seems to grow every year.
I awoke to the sound of the alarm at 4:00 am. In a groggy haze, I shut it off and rolled back over, shut my eyes, and went back to sleep. My youngest daughter had decided not to sleep the night before. Multiple times she cried in the night, requiring my wife to comfort her. This left me wishing for a few more precious minutes of sleep.

I came home from a ride dressed only in my spandex shorts and half unzipped Evomo jersey, opening the door I saw my wife in tears on the coach. A TV crew filmed her every move but immediately shifted their attention to capturing my udder bewilderment. Seated next to her was some over done sissy guy who had obviously never been on a bike with the exception of his Hollywood spin class. “Do you have anything to say” lisped the over tanned man-boy “We are from the TV show Cheaters, we know

A Big Box of goodies arrived the other day. And what might we have inside this big box? Well the list is quite pleasing to hear and includes a few things from sram, rock shox, truvative, avid... mmmmmm! Looks to me like the ingredients for a fleet of some bad-ass, ultra light weight Turner Nitrous‘.
Check back next week as we begin the build process…
