I had a nice ride tonight, 22 miles, avg speed 18.4, probably would've been higher if I didn't detour to the cigar shop. You'd think they'd never seen a cyclist before...

Swam 2650 meters today in about an hour. Not too shabby considering I got a bad cramp and had to take 5 to let it come back to order.

FUN TIMES THOUGH :) My arms are getting big already.

He's not allowed to go to a direct competitor, so there's some talk of Red Bull for a year.

They're basically saying he can't go to a factory team. Except Honda, I suppose. They're rubbish.

Me too. Another bike forum, not a satellite TV forum.

The reason I joined a "satellite forum" is so that I can get access to periodic downloads necessary to keep the free satellite receiver active.

I haven't paid for cable TV in over 2 years. My TV is permanently set for my ps3/wii input. During the SD fire, a friend of mine evacuated over to my house. His small kid (~1 yr old) played with my TV remote and changed it to the cartoon channel. That was when I realized I have cable TV. :D

Just came back from my SDBC ride. Did the 'B' ride again today, but I guess my beginner's luck ran out because I got dropped very early on. :o

I didn't see you. I did the C ride cause the C++ guy said that he wanted to go at a B pace, and I haven't been riding for almost 3 weeks. Typical random C ride, but this time they took us up Highland Rd in Rancho Santa Fe. It's a nice climb.

I was late, and so waited at the intersection of Regents & Nobel. Turns out I wasn't too late though, because I have to wait 20mins+ for the 'A' to even show up.

How's your hand during the ride? Much better?

I woke up at 8:15 so all chance of me thinking of doing that route was thrown out the door. Then I became a puss and sat and watched cartoons til the fog burned through and warm enough to ride w/o warmer..that was like 11am :eek:

Did my 32 mile loop from my house up 395 then around W. lilac. New solo record, 18.3 average for the ride w/ about 2300ft climbing.

When we bought our house it was already hooked up with basic cable and we never paid for the service for nearly 10 years. I suspected our cable was illegally connected to the main line running down the back alley. Finally, when they re-cabled this entire area they promptly disconnected our's. Cable reception was often crappy but I couldn't complain to them for obvious reasons.

You should buy some lights at the swap meet, then ride into the night.
