That's pimp. It will be a while before i upgrade anything on my bike. I can't even ride it at its peak.
I do want wheels with less spokes though, for some reason I really like those ones with the thicker/fewer spokes.
I have fulcrum racing, are they any good?

Dear noob,
Yes they are. Fulcrum is manufacturered by Campagnolo. So it's like you got Volks by Rays wheels.
Are Volks any good? XD
FWIW though, yours is the entry level version. Which is fine. The thicker/fewer spoke wheels (ie: Ksyrium, Eurus etc) actually are less aero than what you have now. They just look cool and are lighter.

Shane posted the strava from your group ride. I migtht give it a shot this week before I go to Cali. That will be the deciding factor if I come in a couple weeks.
Truth be told, I like riding alone more than in a group (not sure why) /forever alone.

You could have only 1 lung and it could have a single lobe and be cancerous and still do this. You compete against yourself. I'm not a pro (this is a UCI points race too) but I compete against the clock (and my time from the previous year.) So simple and a great experience.
They've got an expo, bike support, feed stations, closed roads, draft-legal (if you're comfortable doing it), racers race and riders ride. Last year I stayed at Blue Mountain Village suites for a good rate and had an amazing time. You walk out of your hotel and it's all bikes everywhere and cyclists and you all go to restaurants and you're all there for the same reason and have the same thing in common.
Come on people! I'm going, a friend of my from Peel Paramedic Services is going, my wife is going (she's doing the 25 and thinking about the 50) and I would love to have more people. We don't necessarily ride together, at some point, someone is going to drop someone. But you will still have a great time... promise. The fun thing is when you find someone, or some people who run approximately the same pace as you do and you can draft together. It's pretty awesome. Ideally, it's people who's pace is *slightly* faster than yours and it makes you push but you stay in their draft and go even faster.
My wife didn't draft and she was one of the stragglers but every year she comes back for more, with new goals to meet.

Jay, how do you feel about doing the 50km with a 53x18 gear...out of curiosity XD But wait...8k riders? How does one go for time with so much traffic?
This sounds like a madhouse

Anthills new video is finally released! Check it out..
http://www.pinkbike.com/news/Anthill-Films-Presents-NotBad-FREE-Online-Premiere-2013.html
As much as I love lung burning climbs and redlining my heart for hours on my cross country bike (and occasionally on my road bike), NOTHING beats bombing down a mountain as fast as you can and hitting huge senders or rattling through gnarly technical rock gardens. The above video is what bikes were built for!

Jay,
Thanks for the info. I'm leaning towards going, and will bring the wife unit along also. May be cool if we all grab a suite together or something.
But as for a cycling event, I'm thinking that even the 50 is a bit short. I will do more research. You mentioned you're doing the 25 and 50, right? Different days, I presume?
EDIT: i'm a noob
