We visited several shops in the area from Buellton to San Luis Obispo; Chuck at Pedal Power is our number one pick. Chuck had the parts I needed for the SS and the expertise to fix Krista's shifting on both her race bikes. He lent me a tap-and-die set for re-tapping the frame thread for the tensioner on my Vassago and gave us a few other bike maintenance tips that I'll use over and over. He also had the best deals on parts; check him out if you're in the area - it's worth the trip.
The race venue a week prior was cool and colorful, temperatures in the 60s and low 70s, but the heat came quickly and the wind died equally fast just days before the event. The resulting stagnant conditions made it difficult for the racers to stay hydrated and go hard.
