Well.... he could have said it effeminate like :p

I'm just messing with him :)

She's just mad cause she ain't DOWN wit it! :P LOL

<---- Sooo Down

yeah, so down you flat.

Now who is going to break out the geek speak?

W00tw00t!Hollaz to mah Gigga h0mi3z on da Techflizzo'

Or something like that. I googled it. DJ only speaks data warehousing related acronyms.

Okay this is all mumble jumble to me :) You all go on with your bad selves even if I am jealous:D

So who is riding this weekend??

I'm riding this Sunday. Not sure what I'm doing Saturday... maybe go out for a really early spin before my wife wakes up.

Sunday I'm doing a populaire with RMCC:
2007 Brevet & Populaire Schedule (http://www.rmccrides.com/brevet2007schedule-detail.htm)
Sunday Route (http://www.rmccrides.com/brevet20070408route.pdf)

Fun stuff. :)

with all those turns is that a populaire or an alleycat? :p

Saturday's weather is look a little bad and Sunday is Easter so I haven't been told what I'm doing that day also I just realized I really really like run on sentences. :D

Right now it just looks bad in the morning.
Anyhow, Friday night is dinner out with the family and hunting for a pair of road shoes.
Sat is booked. Guess what! Sunday is easter combined with my bday. I doubt my wife would appreciate it if I skipped out.
So no go all weekend. I suppose I could have just said I am busy. Too bad. Already typed it. :p

Y'all suck. :p I'll be out on the road bright 'n early Sunday. :) Maybe I'll find some easter eggs on the ride!

I may fit in a short ride around broomfield and superior. I could use some hill training.

Happy Friday!!!! :)

Hope our commuters are dry!!! :)

Well everyone have a great weekend. I don't think I will be making a ride tomorrow. Sunday is a big maybe with it being Easter. :)

Dry???? Did you look outside this morning? I'm STILL drying out! :p

Yep I looked outside. :) I was hoping you beat the rain coming down :p

Nope. I got up, looked out, everything looked dry. By the time I was ready to leave, it was raining and I wasn't dressed for it, and had to change. Oh, and my bike had a flat so I had to swap the tube before I could leave.

Add in the headwind for pretty much the whole trip, and that if I pushed any faster than about 14 mph, the sleet was hitting me hard enough to hurt my face... yeah, I ended up about a half hour late.

Ah, well. *moves his sanity meter one more notch away from 'normal'*

My hats off to you. :) Thats too brutal for me.

It was a good commute today... I think Denver is a bit worse than CO Springs!!

It wasn't that big of a deal. Around 5 am at 88th and the platte trail it was lightly snowing. As I hit Denver it snowed a bit harder. South of Denver it turned into a nice drizzle and then a light rain when I hit DTC. I was partially soaked but nice and toasty when I walked into work. Someday I should purchase rain gear. :rolleyes:
Anyhow, the ride home was nice and chilly. The entire day was so exhausting that I had to break down and use an energy gel in Commerce City. Lovely weather for my birthday. :(
I made up for it when I visited a LBS and adopted a pair of sidi genesis shoes. I only wish my regular shoes were this comfy. I'm in love! :p

Incidentally, I had one commute last year that was a 34-35 drizzle at the start and turned into a downpour halfway through the ride. I almost killed myself hauling arse to keep warm. At least then I was wearing semi waterproof clothing.. unlike this morning.

Happy Birthday DataJunkie!!! :)

Thanks snowy :)

102.7 miles. :) Yes, I know, I'm crazy. Brighton and Keenesburg were interesting, though. :p

A few pics of the ice buildup on my bike... these were taken about 15 miles in... about 15 miles further on I actually had to stop and chip the ice off so I could continue riding. Oh... and my bike was a 3 speed for quite a while, as I could only use 3 gears, since the rest were frozen over.

Wow, that's crazy. Nice work. :D

3 weekends, 3 centuries. :) I wonder how long I can keep this up??? :D

Rode with Club Hypoxia today, We did a tour of Parker... climbed pretty much EVERY freakin' hill in Parker, too! Add in NASTY headwinds (They said the AVERAGE wind speed for the ride was 18 mph :eek: ) and the fact that I hurt my knee this past week, and it was a WORLD of hurt. 70 miles, 4800+ feet of climbing (at least part of which I was doing one-legged)

Was a great ride, though, with some great people, and we stopped and had an ice-cold beer at the end of the ride at the ride leader's house.

In getting to and from the ride, I put in an additional 36 miles, so my totals for today:
106.2 miles, 15.74 mph avg, 46 mph max speed, 6 hrs, 45 mins ride time, 6484.74 feet of climbing.

28 mi. here Brother. Only problem I had was that EVERYONE stood me up in my group. Had to go by myself. :(

Too busy with yard work to do much riding. That and hunting for a bed. Egads they are expensive. Time to get my 3 year old out of his toddler bed.

I did construct a nice little route in my area with plenty of hills using riverdale and 160th. Now I need to add a few miles. It is always nice to have a route close to home for when you have prior commitments.

Next weekend I start hunting for a new bike!

Just noticed bill's post. :p

I will counter your centuries with an even more difficult mileage..... 3 miles in 2 hrs!
Of course, I was riding behind my son. It is very difficult to ride a regular bike at 2 mph. :p I think I should have walked. Still he can take off at a pretty good clip every so often.
3 miles is still pretty good for a kid who has been riding for a month.

Anyone want to try to get a group ride in this weekend??

yes please. :D

How many miles do you want to do???

Nobody else wants to ride with SNOWY :(

Lots on sunday :D Saturday is belt testing so thats a NO GO.

Count me as a maybe. I am planning on hunting for a bike on Sunday. Perhaps I can move it to saturday. Hmmm...
God bike hunting takes forever.

Well if everyone wants to do Sunday that is fine. I'll going to do a ride from my house that goes West up to Lookout over Lookout and thru Morrison. Around 30+ miles.

Just let me know who is in :)

Do you have a time in mind?

Do you have a time in mind?

What time works for ya??

Afternoon is better. 1, 1:30.

I'll ride with ya! :) Lemme know when and where (We can't meet at my truck this time, for obvious reasons :( )

*runs off and cancels his Team Evergreen ride for a chance to ride with his Bike Forums buddies instead*

Okay Sunday at 1pm starting point will be at 4th and Wright Street (Lakewood).

You can park any where on Wright Street( I live in the Riva Ridge Condos). I'll be riding straight out from my condo to meet anyone on 4th and Wright at 1pm :)

Don't do it! It's a trap! Ok... go ahead, see if I care. In fact, go ahead and park in the big pile of broken glass where my truck USED to be. :(

Your cars should be fine during the daylight hours :)

I'm kidding... my truck did just fine along there for 8 months. :)

Anyone want to try to get a group ride in this weekend??


Apr 28th maybe?????

Apr 28th maybe?????

I'll be headed to Paris on this day :)

Anyhoo, I'm riding Sunday, I got boyfriend to join us as well :) So we are starting at 1pm for any of those who want to join us. :)

My wife has to work and I am attempting to find a sitter. It is looking doubtful. Oh well. Next time!

I may have broken my hand saturday during testing. I'm head to the doctor this morning for x-rays. I'll try to make it to the ride pending the results. Hope to see you. :D

*throws rotten tomatoes at Snowy*

Well good news is that its not broken, bad news is I tore legiments in my hand.(not sure how that happens). Splint for one week and then I am good to go. :D

Sorry I missed you guys (yet again). I promise I will try, try, try, to make the next one.
