#222: These are the not the wheels you are looking for…
Well, I got my news wheels yesterday. Scored a set of Reynolds DV46T’s off BonkTown. and that is what the sales receipt said… in the box, however:
…those wheels are not DV46T, but instead are the MV32T. Nice wheels, but not what I was wanting for racing on the road and ‘cross next year. Wrote customer service, hope they have some of the correct wheels in stock and we can get this resolved.
Update @ 5pm…called customer service. They are going to ship out the correct wheels and pay for return shipping. Bonktown does not even sell this type of wheel, must have been a factory problem @ Richey.

When I downloaded the photo of the wheels, I found a good photo of Indy (he hates photography).
Since my last post, we worked out some of the early season race plans as a team. I won’t list them all, but here is are some racing that I plan to do in the first month (March):
- 3/8: Rouge Roubaix (St. Francisville, LA)
- 3/15: Hell’s Kitchen (NW Arkansas)
- 3/28-29: Tour de Tuscaloosa (Tuscaloosa, AL)
And there appears to be a practice race at the end of February (28th) put on by the Marx & Bensdorf team in Shelby County.
As for training, I am continuing 1x/week weight training, trying to ride long on the weekend and doing several days a week on the trainer. The trainer work looks mostly like aerobic or aerobic + sub-threshold/threshold intervals (10-30 minutes a go). I cannot compare year-over-year power, since my data only goes back 4 months, but I can say that I feel in better shape than last year. And I haven’t really picked it up yet (for the most part).
[...] finally got my correct wheels in today after getting the wrong ones first. They are not much deeper than the Zero 038’s I have been racing on since July 2007, but [...]
