To the OP - you may want to have your blood pressure checked.

Good things:
1. I should have my new bike within 2 weeks
2. My fitter is a genius
3. I ride my first century today
4. I love my cycling group
5. I'm keeping my old bike after all
6. Phase 2 of training starts next week
7. My husband is a cycling-enabler
8. I (sort of) only work 4 days a week, more time to ride
9. I also have a sailboat, life is good
10. I have gotten buckets of great advice on bike forums

11. I live in the city with the best cycling weather in the country- recently LA was determined to have the highest number of days with sunshine and temps between 50 & 80 deg of all locations in the US, followed by San Diego and Oxnard, CA

I love little baby ducks,
old pick-up trucks,
slow movin trains, and rain.
I love little country streams,
sleep without dreams,
Sunday school in May, and hay.
And I love you too.
I love leaves in the wind,
pictures of my friends,
birds of the world, and squirrels.
I love coffee in a cup,
little fuzzy pups,
old TV shows, and snow.
And I love you too.
I love honest open smiles,
kisses from a child,
tomatoes on a vine, and onions.
I love winners when they cry,
losers when they try,
music when its good, and life.
And I love you too.

Good things about Oxnard:
1. Strawberry capital of the world, I think. Cheap, abundant strawberries
2. Good inexpensive sailboat harbor that is an excellent jumping off point for Channel Islands National Park
3. Um... Uh.... Hmm, that's all I've got

I was going to say that this place sucks.
But I'll keep it positive.
This place positively sucks.

F this sh-t, Piece of crap, worst thing ever! I WASTED MY MONEY!! You never hear. Wait isn't that cam lever supposed to be down, Damn these are nice. Maybe I should repost and let everyone know that these are not as bad as I said when I was mad.
That squeek that I had, was not the bottom bracket, it was my front wheel Quick release that was loose. Or the seat post clamp was loose. Now that i tightened it the squeek went away. All that is out there for eternity is that BB30 sucks, this frame sucks , stay away from this. Never as I said, My right cleat was loose on my shoe. that is where the squeek was coming from. Everybody check your shoes, this might be your problem too.
Please as a community post your FIXES! This will help your fellow cyclists with anything that they to might encounter.
Please post your likes also. Not just stuff that breaks. Post about stuff you love and can't live without. Post about stuff that looks good, and performs well.
Don't tell me about flats, and don't buy this tire, when it clearly states "race " on the box, and that all of your roads are cinder, and I flat all of the time.
I train on $150 tubulars and I get only 100 miles out of them. Does that not sound dumb? I weigh 900lbs and ride 1100 gram rims with a 12.2 lb bike that i paid $18,000.00 for and it feels like a noodle! MORONIC!
Information is what I need when i log in. I want to read of others experiences, of new stuff that is out. Breaks and FIXES!! if I see one more , this handlebar tape sucks, it keeps breaking when i put 100lbs of pressure on it to wrap it around my handlebars I might go out and shoot something!
And please if you have never road a bike in your life, don't post. If you have never raced, don't post about racing. If you don't own or have tried the product , please please don't comment on it. (my friend had that, he said that it was trash).
Now that this is out of my system, I think I will get a bag of chips, an ice cream sandwich, a soda, turn on the tv and relax, because in two days. I get back on the wagon. there are too many youngsters that need to be schooled next season.

I feel like doing something positive today. I think I'm going to skip my ride and go solve world hunger.

You've never been in the Cult of the CAAD thread? It's 300+ pages of people expressing their positive feelings for CAADs and how they're ditching their other bikes (often CF) for a CAAD.
