If I was a better rider...


Better rider? :roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:

At that price range the relationship between cycling skill and ownership is nonexistent. You are as likely to see a balding fat orthodonist on a Prince as a Cat 1 racer.

No no no no. Two Cannondales is one too many.



I have three in my garage. Two belong to my wife. How does that happen?

I have two Treks. One's gotta go.

Probably more likely. Cat. 1s don't like to pay for bikes and Pinarello doesn't sponsor too many teams.

It's more likely that I'll become a balding fat orthodontist than a Cat 1 racer!

I'd probably be afraid to ride it anywhere. :D

I wonder what the Dogma frameset costs?

Truthfully, it'll probably be a SuperSix, I already have a nice crankset for it...

I do agree :)

No, get the Dogma. It's made of magnesium. It's one of very few bikes that might actually burst into flames if you crash it.

trying to get our kit together for this year.....getting all the sponsors to get thier logos together and such SUCKS!!!!

any word if you guys need another cat5 newb;)

I saw that, too!

Wow, that's a really nice price.

You sir, are a lucky man.

those are nice bikes for sure

Wow, that's a really nice price.



just say "no".

Rode Lake Hughes Road for the first time today, and it is a very nice ride. Quite scenic, very little traffic. Castaic to Lake Elizabeth and back is about 48 miles and 4200'. I think the Tour de Francis includes this section.

Yes, and TDF is coming up. I have to get some climbing in before December.

Nice area to ride. Can get windy. Next time make this and complete the ride. (http://shprung.com/sfvbc/?ride=LAWM-T1) I did this one but started and ended from Burbank with lunch (if you want to call it that-bike food) in Hughes. I plan to do it again this month. I just do not know when.

that looks like a good loop, I've never road up there.

I'm game to ride saturday.

I was going to ride this morning but woke up with a killer headache. Rats. Back to bed. :(

I'm in Toronto right now. 2*C (35*F) and w/windchill -3*C (27*F). I didn't bring my bike, but I guess it would've been a nice Stagecoach-type training. :p

Your head hurts because of rats? :p Sorry to hear, Happy. You know what cures headaches best, don't you?

Thanks, Volty. I never connected. But I can never get his handle straight and end up calling him Davesanxxyyzzz.

Yep, here for work and I can also visit my family too. :D

Lucky. I wish I could fly anywhere right now.

BTW ME, are you working on a science fair project? Your recent avatar pics look like some kind of cat experiments. :p

YYZ - Great Rush song...yes, they're from Toronto.

Well, you came back from fried chicken land not too long ago. :)

No, I'm just being weird. I don't really have a pic I want to use as an avatar lately. And I feel like that cat looks lately. :p

YYZ - Great Rush song...yes, they're from Toronto.

I love Rush. You a closet Rush fan, Mo? :D

Well, you came back from fried chicken land not too long ago. :)

Um...that does NOT count. :rolleyes: Sitting in a bucket of lard is not getting away from it all, trust me.:p

Your last three catvatars were fat, shaved and wet. You may need some counseling. Just sayin. :rolleyes::p

You should marry a Mod, ME.
Does wonders for the "Honey, pleaase pleeeeeaaaase don't ban me today" argument. ;)

I'm off to Whole Foods. Hope my debit card doesn't disintegrate.

No way! I'm out and damn proud of mah boyz.

I've been a Rush fan since my brother first got 2112, oh so many years ago. Geddy was one of my main inspirations and influences playing bass.
