My dad texted me the crybaby hill heart attack story saying it was from my race. Is it wrong that I was offended and had to verify he was wrong, it was a cat 5 racer who had a heart attack?

A high school kid who works at Depot on weekends has 7 NY state champ jerseys. I told you the story of how he got one, when your former 12-14 yo teammate yelled "**** yeah!" crossing the line and got DQ'd.

I remember you saying that, it's funny but I didn't even know that guy until I saw him win a couple of sprints this year. I guess they're less harsh about cursing when you're in the elite fields, because I'm pretty sure he yelled out some choice words during both wins.
Did the BD guy ride with us a few weeks ago? I remember Curtis White pulled the same stuff coming up through the jrs, and he's 7 angry hammers full o' watts and rides for Optium.

I just spent a couple hours chatting with Frankie A who had the misfortune to be sitting next to me on the plane. He was in Tulsa to announce races and be the "ride with a famous guy" on the gran fondo.
He hasn't shaved his legs for 7 years, is amazed at how stupidly most amateurs train, and won't be going to the Tour this year for the first time in 25 years.

"Ride your bike a couple hours a day, go hard some days, keep it fun." Quoted without comment.
He was totally open and chatty. He brought up Lance, even.

yeah I'm totally stoked. after being prepared to flip them and buy a trainer or some other more expensive roller with a mag this was a simple solution. I could probably add another one on another roller and really make it hard.

I've been at a conference, and it's amazing how much food they serve, including salmon for lunch today. Wonder if conferences would be any cheaper if they didn't splurge so much. My admission was paid by someone else so I don't care too much, but I may be on my own next year (fortunately it'll be in Boston so no hotel and airfare to worry about)

So what sort of wattage can you do now?
*edit sorry apparently I loaded this page before any questions on your setup.

Your question is a bit vague, lacks proper punctuation, and you can say ass. It's also kinda bad form to just drive by another forum to complain about a different one. That said this is a rich forum, with good people, who sometimes get along swimmingly (when the west coast people aren't fighting with the east coast people). Though unless you race, are inclined to race, or at least train hard the hazing is probably no different here than anywhere else. And if you're a non racer and you ask questions like should I get a trek or specialized, what avg speed is your max, etc you're probably get responses like '41.' Which will seem cryptic and rude. Welcome to the the road racing forum.

Sucking suckdom so far this morning. Southwest cancelled my flight and the next option to get to PVD would have me in at 11:55pm when I was supposed to arrive 12:30pm. So I run to the airport and manage to get on a flight to Boston right as its boarding. Not bad consider I live closer to Boston but my car is in pvd so my dad has to get me and take me back to pvd for the car. But I'll land at 11:20am so much more reasonable

Since the magnets I ordered came with two strips, and I have 1x2 left over, I'm going to try putting one against the rear roller to see what happens. The answer may be obvious to someone, but not me
