donw on power, but still faaaaaaassssst!!!

later.

It may be the fastest ride average yet, but when you're the slowest guy and they have to wait a few times ... you feel muy sloooowww! Man do I hate getting dropped. To make matters even worse, I definitely did not even do my share of pulls.

Needless to say I bought beers. :cry:

I always miss the fun nights :cry:

I rode by the pub today and saw they had some sort of motorcycle rally. I looked for Mandy, if I'd seen her I would have pulled up amongst them and asked if I was late :roflmao2:

What start time this week?

Alien, you would have only added to my misery.

6:15 for another round of hammerfest heaven. See you Tuesday.

I won't be making it this week either :cry:

:injured:

I did my easy ride tonight and 5 miles into it the pain in my ankle started :wtf:

I'll have to rest and hope I can make it next week.

Alien 2 on the podium on Saturday....

Still kicking around this or the Bicycle Heaven ride for tomorrow. Hmmmm....

Oh c'mon Psi ... I'll make it as hard as I can. Hell, I'll even buy you a beer for the free coaching.

I suppose we all have to buy for Alien 2. Woo Hoo!!! One of our own ... well not really, he is an alien -> and the podium kind of proves it. ;)

Hope you heal quickly alien.

Ohh ... 6:15 roll out!

I'd love to, but I think I'm going to try the BH ride tonight. It's a Tuesday and Thursday ride so maybe in the future (next season) I can do it on Thursdays and still do the Penny rd on Tuesdays.

I'll see how it goes tonight, but didn't want to be the guy that joins the team and never shows for the ride. I already know it is a much faster ride and I will be shelled like tiny peanut getting caught in a blender.

Yet another hammerfest but this time ... possibly at great cost! I'm physically fine ... but too mad right now to talk further. Hopefully I'll have an update soon.:mad:

You can't post like that and not come with some details.

You wreck? Your seat come loose again?

a great cost that is not a physical issue with you (meaning the shoulder is fine). the bike? pissed off wife at home because you are always out riding? do tell. later.

Mechanical! :(

Just ditch that flimsy cervelo already and get yourself a Mountain Bike for cris sake. ;)

I'm super busy all day, but :wtf:

What's going on? Anything I can help with??!!

How was your ride last night?

Psi, call me. I pm'd my cell.

How was your ride last night?

I'd have to start a whole new thread about that one. Let's just say...."all business". Probably one of the hardest efforts I have done in a long time. On par with the TTT aham and I did a few weeks back.

Course is much easier than Penny Rd, but the riders are all super strong with a mix of Cat1,2,3 riders with a couple of state champs in the mix.

Neither MJH2 or myself had a computer, but I would estimate that we came in ....fast. Much faster than I have ever ridden the Penny Rd ride. I was hacking last night like I used to do when I started the Penny Rd ride. A sure sign that the effort was at a new level.

They ride 2 times a week as well so my future plans will most likely be to do the Penny Rd pub ride on Tuesdays and the BH ride on Thursdays.

And you left out the part that that was you and I.

We got torched by the group and dropped in 20 minutes. High-tailed it the remaining 30 miles back in.

Kudos for the effort to a new level.

I told you on the DD to get rid of that creaky POS Cervelo. :roflmao2:

It will do that, until someone finally points out that its the end of the season :rolleyes:

Left Right Balance Maximum L90 - 10R Left - Right

You should try to pedal with both legs with maximum effort :roflmao2:

Weather looks good for tonight. I am pretty much planning on being there. Sun sets at 7:24...what time do we roll at?

Had been leaving at 6:15. We can probably do this for this week again. If people want to, I can go earlier?

I gotta find the blinkie light.

It was near dark when we got back in around 7:45 pm last week.

Sketchy to do the whole route leaving at 6:15 pm last week.

We need to move it back to 6:00 pm start or shorten the route. I am not comfortable out on those roads after it's truly dark.

Last week was a transitional week in this area. This week will be quite a bit darker. I would recommend starting no later than 6:00 if possible. Otherwise we'll be spending at least 20 minutes in the dark.

I resorted to blinky last week.

Let's do 6 then.

I'm OK with that. Someone able to relay the info to everyone else? Cyclingjester can get the info to cyclpsycho. I think he has alien2 and Deejan's numbers.

Outside of nietsmas I can't think of anyone else who would need to know. RJBTrek...you joining us?

MJH2?

i'm still out. looks like i'll have to wait until 2009 to join you guys again :/

6 pm rollout.

Good deal.

I will relay info to the alien.

contact with the alien has been achieved.

y por que? Timing? I know it's not going to be that lame fitness excuse....as you pulled away from me with ease many times during the Dairyland Dare....

tuesday nights are just not a good night for me right now. wednesday is best, but obviously i can't change the ride date...

Cyclingjester can get the info to cyclpsycho. I think he has alien2 and Deejan's numbers.

Got it. I'll be there. Although, it is awfully hot and the bar is so cool :twitchy:

I only have Alien 2's e-mail, so I hope he gets it in time and I called Dejan, he'll be there.

Oh man are both alien's going to hurt!

Is it too late for me to bail? Maybe I'll say I forgot the time changed?:backpedal:

MJH2?

It's looking more and more doubtful for me. I've got a 5:30 appointment. The only way I can make it there in time is if 1) The client blows me off; and 2) He calls to tell me he's blowing me off by 5:00 or so.

The odd of #1 happening with one of my clients is 50%. The odds of #1 and #2 happening with one of my clients are about 20%. I'll probably end up doing hill repeats up Huntington road this evening... don't wait around for me.

Currently raining here in Aurora. Hope it is still clear up there. I am dressing and starting the journey.

The rain held off, Psimet. You should have come to the ride. Alien2 was on a recovery ride, so we all got to keep up this week! It was awesome.


Oh, wait. You were there? Good ride, then, man! :thumb:


I say we meet at 2:30 pm next week to make sure we beat the sunset.

You can't say that Cy ... he won the thing. :thumb:

Strange night. I finished my pull on the hills, start dropping back and there it was . . . Psimet in the paceline still :eek:

Then, with the pace high and no other contenders, he comes around me for the sprint :twitchy: :thumb:

Next thing you know, Cats and Dogs will be living together :eek:

I think some of the rain was falling up yesterday.....

I love nights when Capt Falcon is on a recovery ride. It's times like that when I can just barely maybe hang on to the group!
