In cycling-related news, I highly recommend that all Team Brown Bear members head over to the Team Blog to check out the latest update. :)
In other cycling news, I put the finishing touches on my new road bike, an Eddy Merckx Premium sloping frameset. Full Easton Scandium tubing with an all-carbon fork. Yowzer. I can't wait to ride it!!
With the high temps of last week, the vast majority of our snow was gone. You could see the grass. People were out and about with no coats on. Well, that all changed this weekend. Here's a pic of our driveway. Where's our mailbox? 
Another thing...having to shovel all this crap at 2 houses really, really sucks. If anyone has an extra snowblower, we would be more than happy to take it off your hands. :)
Important game tonight. #1 vs #2 in the league. Team Blue still had just the one loss on the season (to none other than Team Gray). Well, that all changed tonight when we steam-rolled over them with a 6-3 win. It was a fun, fast-skating game. I ended up with 2 goals and 1 assist, with one of my goals being a short-handed goal. I didn't really have to work too hard for either goal, as both were the result of great passes from teammates that left me wide open in front of the net. That win leaves us only 1 point behind Team Blue in the standings with 4 games left in the regular season...

Nice looking bike Brian! I hope the weather is getting out of the way so we don't see it on our drive this weekend!
Eddy #2 looks like a blue killing machine. I see the snow melts in fear when Eddy is out.
Snowblowers, I may have a nice used one for you, priced nicely in Eau Claire, if you can wait out the winter. Delivery might even be possible, but unknown at the moment.
Trent- I looked at the weather forecast for the next week, and it looks like temps will be in the 30s with some occasional flurries. But knowing your history with travel to WI, we should be prepared for another blizzard. :)
Pat- The Eddy built up nicely; I am really happy with it. Thanks for your help! Are your parents looking to get rid of their snowblower? If so, Heather and I would be happy to take that off their hands...
Great update on the TBB blog! I can't wait to actually wear those jerseys.
Very nice bike Brian! What are you going to do with your TREK frame? Why the change?
Shoveling makes for good training. It's easy for me to say that since I live in an apartment :)
GO TEAM GRAY!
Shoveling is only good training for developing toned arms. :)
With the bike, I have been wanting to get back to an aluminum frame for a few years now since having all-carbon bikes with the Giant and Trek. I look forward to getting back to a nice, stiff frame. :)
That bike should be stiffer that Brooks when he was a volleyball manager.
I hope it's not THAT stiff. :)
You guys are sick.
My knowledge of bikes is so limited that I can only comment on the color. It is pretty and blue.
aahh..volleyball.
The merckx looks sick mang.
How's the fit and finish on the Eddie, I've never actually checked one out. And we in the harsh Alumoniuminanm world knew you would come back.
I'm not sure on the fit yet, but it looks like I should be able to get it almost exact to how I was positioned on the Madone. The finish is nice...purdy.
I guess I knew I'd be back eventually too... :)
HI,
