Southern California - So Cal needs a long thread "What's Up?" type thread!

I have a black saddle and white tape....can i still ride with you guys...i'll just park my bike out back when we're posing at the coffee shop!

You could go with a black saddle and black tape and not worry about it.

I have a black saddle...in fact, I have three black saddles, two honey leather saddles, and a white saddle. I'm testing out the white saddle right now, but can't be too fredalicious and ride with black tape, even if I'm testing it out.

I bought a new computer today, a VDO wireless with cadence. Got it home, looked at the directions and took it back. Too many features, too complicated. It reminded me of my watch. Got a Cateye Strada instead. The last 2 Cateye wirelesses would die out in cold weather so I bought another one.


I have the Mavic computer, works well is cold, I've done a few am ride in mid 30's + windchill and it's been strong. We'll see if it can pass the summers here in Esco

...and I like instigating, .

wha?......no way!

fredalicious.

PS, I would have taken my bike to you, but you would have kept it for two months until I had bugged you enough to let me come and pick it up.

;)

i really want a white SLR but just can't spring for it right now...


so if you guys wanna pick me up one for christmas that would be cool

uhh.. oops:o

Still...should have had Lauren on the calendar. That one with the epic strawberry on her leg would have been perfect.

That, or the 'Can you see my huge...megaphone' shot of Brandy...that would have sold millions.

That would be cool...but seeing as how each one of us is paying for you to live, work, and play in this world, I think it's you who owes us something.


/instigator.

//even further below the belt.

Crash, you going to the Poinsettia bowl tomorrow?

I could have gotten you all free tickets if you told me, plaza level......I have bowling thursdays so I can't go....

uhh.. oops:o

:roflmao:

I just now read it. Nice.:D

puh leeezeeee...

I pay taxes to honkey!

and i have paid my debt to you slackers by spending 2 years and 9 months of my last 5 years away from my family defending your silly *sses ability to talk smack on the boards here nancy!


ohh...and no i am not going to the bowl....i could have gotten tickets but i was to lazy to drive to get them..

I could have gotten you all free tickets if you told me, plaza level......I have bowling thursdays so I can't go....

Tickets were already bought. My dad was a company officer at the Academy in '77, and all of his midshipmen are still pretty tight. One of the mids bought a gang of seats in a crap section. Club, Section 28...pretty much right above the tunnel the Chargers come out of. I hate that angle.

Still...should be fun.

But there's chicks...and beer...and they light the pins on fire...and they get tattoo'd while they wait...

My boss coaches pop warner, so he gets about 35-40 tickets a yr. It was FREEZING last yr.

I have a 231 average hushhhhhh:p

I watched a match on teevee recently with a guy who had the craziest bowling stroke I've ever seen. Two-handed...rolled like a billion miles per hour with his right, and put a wicked spin on it with his left. I don't think his ball had any holes in it.

Rolled a perfect game in front of an audience. Ended up winning the match easily, and bowled his final ball with a traditional stroke...striked it, too.

Nite nite, termites.


/father of young'uns...

yah its a new technique. Craps loads of revs on the ball too. I read about the youngest kid ever to bowl a 300 was 8 and used that double-handed stroke.

Yippee!!! It's dry and time to ride!!!!

Yippee!!! It's dry and time to ride!!!!

Is that anything like "It puts the lotion on its skin..."

Vance, go back to bed. You don't make sense this early in the morning.

It's way too early to be talking about lotion. You people are so odd.


Good morning. :) I'm off to the gym and then an all day offsite. Sigh. With dinner tonight, it's going to be a long day.

It's a steady rain up here in Santa Clara. Hopefully it's dry by the time I drive down this Saturday.

Offsite? It'll be lonely without you.

Long day, huh? I was asleep by 11:30, up by 3:30, and am going to the Poinsettia Bowl tonight...so won't be in bed until about midnight...then up at 4 tomorrow.

Y-fricken-ay.

You just keep it up there, pal. We don't want any of that down this way.

Good morning all, almost friday....for those it matters

Awww.. Jeff, ya got me all excited and it's not even Friday!!!

I got back from a 40-miler. There was cloud cover so it was not as cold as it had been. Tights, LS base layer and SS jersey was all today. Hooked up with some guys heading towards the Pier Ride. I just noticed some snot shrapnel on my tights. At best, I hope it's mine. :(

I hate being congested...snot flies everywhere, no matter how talented I may be a snot rocketing.

At least with solid crusties, you generally know where they're headed...but when it shoots out in a spray at 25 mph...it can get all over your shoulder, arm, cheek, ear, helmet, glasses, legs, bike...Then, of course, you use your gloves to wipe it off, then hit a pothole and grab your bars...so now you've got snotbars to deal with.

It's was definitely a spray day today. No snot bars, though. Sacha would have a fit.

Ohh... I can hear her now. She's complaining because she's dirty.

Better go wash her off...

Forty miles, outstanding.

I found it a tad cooler this morning than yesterday out here. Yesterday I was out in short sleeves before the sun rose.

I did a quick 15 this morning, not as cold for sure. Some puddles on the back roads but mostly dry for the most part. I haven't washed my bike in almost 2 weeks due to the weather we've been getting. Another storm coming in, so MORE rain..ehhh means I have to go to the gym. Just hope it doesn't rain this weekend.

i think anyone with aero bars should feel disrespected (http://www.pezcyclingnews.com/photos/babes/babes07/roey.jpg).

Epic. Truly epic.

uhh.. oops:o

:roflmao:

I just now read it. Nice.:D

I got to read the unedited version last night and laughed my butt off!

I've got those aerobars. Well, not THOSE but the same model, just the aluminum version...

Is it bad that when i looked at the calendar pictures i was initially more interested in the details on the bike?

Nope. That's what I did.

i would probably say the same thing, but i've seen that bike up-close and personal. even racked it a few times. cannot say the same thing of the girl.

:p I prefer more subtleness. The style of the shot doesn't look very classy. No offense though; just my opinion. :p

Got this from someone at work.

I did that to my Garmin and it survived:D
Your wife accidentally washed it, or you accidentally left it in a pocket?

Weird seeing photos of the new Discovery/Astana Team (http://www.velonews.com/race/int/articles/13820.0.html)

"Despite being full members of Astana, contractual agreements keep the Disco riders in their 2007 kits until the end of the calendar year."

Reminds me of what my buddy went through a few weeks ago. While at a computer convention back east, he saw a CSC booth and sitting inside was David Zabriskie. The computer nerds completely ignored him, having no idea who the skinny guy was, much less that he was no longer riding with CSC. (I guess since he's still obligated to wear the colors til the end of the year.)

So my friend sat down next to DZ and had a long, friendly chat about cycling. ;)

ME wouldn't know whether to :thunk: or :tsk-tsk: this pic:

http://www.velonews.com/images/int/13820.21666.f.jpg

We're having a break and I pop on for this?

Hmmm...no thunking the cotton candy blue kit. Sorry. Now, put them boys in white, and I'd thunk it, dunk it and...

...I'll just stop at that. :p

Oh...hi...you're back.


I never would have imagined that kit color made a difference...I though a conniption fit might have occurred at the sight of knit and cycling caps/un-helmetted noggins.

ps. the guy on the left in the back is mid-snotrocket. I'm sure the people in the car behind him are super pleased at their good fortune.
