Great deal on Carbon Fiber Track Wheels

For sale is a 700c HED-3 front tubular (full carbon) track wheels. I'm the second owner. The first owner purchased it new in 2010 and used it for one TT race. It was never crashed or abused. The wheel original has the HED skewer, but I had HED change it over to a HED track axle. Both will be included with the sale. The wheel is glued up with a Vittoria Corsa Evo-CX 21-28". It's been sitting deflated for several months so I may suggest having the tire re-glued before track season.

The HED 3 Stickers were removed for the stealth black look. They can be replaced by HED for 20 bucks if you're into the look of logos being plastered all over your bike.

Asking price is $425 + shipping in the USA.

Secondly, I have for sale a BRAND NEW, never used Karbona UFO rear tubular track disc (full carbon). 3k Woven Matte finish. This is single sided, track specific with threads for cog/lock ring. The wheel was purchased brand new this past year with the intention of riding more pursuits this year, but plans have changed. The wheel is glued up with a brand new Continental Sprinter 22x700. The tire is deflated because I don't have a pump to fit disc wheels. These are very difficult to get in the USA and they sell for nearly 1,500.00 from CarbonFreaks store online.

Asking price is $500 + shipping.

I will make a deal for someone who is wanting to buy both together. They make a great set.

According to Carmichael Training Systems, this workout is to keep you on your toes and push your VO2 max to new heights. Based on chart below this would be a good workout for the Kilo event, targeting the anaerobic lactic system and aerobic systems.

Fatsecrets.Com - Counting calories

As a little experiment I decided to start counting calories and exercise from mid October 2010 to mid January 2011. As you can see from the above chart my weight fluctuate between 171 lbs to 177 lbs during this period. Current weight as of 2/13/2011 is 174 lbs.

This is what the month of November 2010 looked like.
Red indicates food intake.
Green indicates exercise.

Daily average calories burnt = 2,857 kcal
Daily average food intake = 2,917 kcal
-fat = 86.99 grams
-protein = 182.73 grams
-carbs = 382.95 grams

I guess the ratio of fats to carbs to protein has to be adjusted to lose body fat and gain lean muscle mass depending on whose school of thought is in vogue. In the meantime I remain clueless when it comes to diet and nutrition. I believe we are being fed a lot of bad information when it comes to nutrition, all in the name of profit

Dropbox (Cloud Computing)

I would recommend 'Dropbox' if you have more than one computer, a smart phone, an iPad, iPod or any other computing device, where you would want to access and easily organize your files in a central location and then later archive them. I have a USB stick which I use to transfer files from one computer to another, unfortunately you can't plug a USB stick into a smart phone or iPod. The next best solution is to store your files to the "Cloud" where it can be accessed from anywhere. Drop box offers 2 Gig storage which is more than enough space for what I do. You can also download the 'Dropbox' App to your smart phone where you can easily access files that were uploaded to the Cloud. It is also a very efficient way of transferring photos or files from your smart phone. Just drag and drop, best of all it is free, I like free.

January 2011 Training Summary Sheet

January 2011 was a very bad month for bicycle riding outdoors - too much adverse weather (snow every week).
