Your shoes fit fine. Stop whining and get back on that Computrainer. The Spring Series starts in less than six months.

If I upgrade I'm not riding for Lance. Still, I need new shoes and need to decide what size to buy.

Get 13s...if they don't fit, give them to me.

Upgrade to what? 40+? If you're racing 35+ with GL, what's the difference?

As far as the shoes go, buy the ones that fit you. That's my advice as your sponsor and BF Ball Busting Target.

you do realize of the 55 races I did a mere 15 of them were with the team? I did more non-masters races than that.

Sub question: is my seat the right height?

Just get the correct cleats and some surgical screws and forego the shoes.

Shoe are for wussy.

And my family thinks I'm obsessed with cycling. Try to amp it up next year dude. If you don't race at least 100 times in a season, how hard core can you possibly be?

Bigger hats can be shaped to be more aero. Bigger shoes? I think not.

I have sh*t for brains. Is there a chamois that will accommodate this?

The top GL stars have access to Velo Vaporware that Peloton Dogs like me can't even dream of procuring.

As a GL sponsor and team spokesman I can categorically deny than any of our top cyclists have new bicycles at this time. I refer all other inquiries to the team attorney, botto.

incidentally I just did a rough points total from last year....I may be a sandbagger. 46 points as a three and 75 in masters races. :innocent: Is this the thread where we complain about not wanting to upgrade?

oh wait this is it one where we don't talk about the bike I can't confirm or deny I have. :winter:

I guess some shops have them and are getting them out to guys to ride them and get some decent
reviews of them. Several have come through that shop the doc rides for, Westwood, and they take really good care of me over there.

NomadVW

So that's two sandbaggers doing business at Westwood?

If you truly had crap for brains, you'd be winning no races - like me! Go eat a jelly donut or two, it'll make me feel better.

I had pancakes for breakfast yesterday and ice cream at night. Actually since my season ended I blew up. I think I must have gained 5 pounds

Do you figure that was a riff on the Radley place, or just random?
