Chris Winn: Ramblings From The Road

Some days you just feel lucky...

Well it has been an exciting day to say the very least. So every once in awhile there are little opportunities that come along that make you feel pretty special. Today I was honoured to be given the chance to ride the new SRAM Force road groupset (only one in the country), yes ladies and gentlemen the hotly anticipated, majorly talked about revolutionary new parts from the Chicago based kings. So out I ventured into the fog of the nongs with SRAM kingpin and more time Australian champion than I have fingers and toes Rob Eva, and Felt Racing's Ash T. Okay so as a long time rider of SRAM on the mtb, I was pretty eager to see how they have tackled the road market, and i must say i was not dissapointed one bit. Positive, crisp shifting with the new 'doubletap' system is a breeze, took me till halfway up the first climb before it became innate. This stuff rocks, I think the winds of change are blowing, espcially when the benchmark is set this high... So big thanks to SRAM for pushing the boundaries and coming up with market leading products (it's so easy to get excited about something that works so well because it is a great product), Thanks to Rob for the opportunity to turn the cranks and Ash for the rad pics. Lator all, cw


Still keen after painting till 1:00am the night before to some rad 80's tracks on the radio...


Look Ma no hands. Feeling the FORCE baby!


The view from Sky High. Geez the burnout smoke is thick today...


Ash was keen as mustard to have a ride of the new stuff!
