I was testing my new power meter on my TT bike. Guys, it is a good thing that riding bikes is not like the Old West quick draw. I would be in Boot Hill. On my 2nd z4 of the night, one of my teammates, a younger guy, maybe a Cat 3, goes out ahead. I take off on the TT bike into a 25 mph head wind. I catch him and pass him. I come to a 2% grade and I am hitting 275 watts up the climb and feeling good about myself. He passes me. Fine. There is a down hill section and I keep the z4 power on and pass him again. We come to another grade and I am at 285 w. He passes me and crushes me.:eek: And so it goes. Dead. Bury him in Boot Hill and put on the tombstone..................Here lies Hermes...Definitely not a doper or certainly a very bad one. |

In keeping with the thread's purpose: just scratched my junk and I'm going to bed. |

OBX here I come

OK. I'm heading out for a ride which will either be amongst the dumbest things I've ever done, or epic (of course, with cycling you can have both). A 60 mile club ride over very hilly terrain is scheduled, weather is 90 very humid degrees interspersed with torrential rainfall. Report or obit to follow.....
|
30 riders are here in the parking lot but the ride captains cancelled
because they are woosies. The crowd is getting ugly. I'm scared..... |
Tremendous storms on the eastern plains of CO last night. The radar scope, from the Rockies east, was just plain all-red (red being severe weather and tornados). I've never, ever, seen that much red on the radar. Incidentally you can watch radar live - well about 2-6 minutes delayed - on at least these two sites:

I feel like Floyd Landis, but this picture proves what many of you have suspected: I'M A DOPER. |

My average speed is so high the air friction tends to melt my bottles. Happens all the time.

Damn it's hot and windy today! Wind builds character but the heat sure is draining...
|
Traffic was really lite at 3:30AM. today, except for having to "miss the drunks" coming out of bars on Colorado Ave. ;)
|
26 miles before church. No Deep Woods Off...I don't dope on Sundays.
|
68 miles down in 105 degree heat factor and 15 to 20 mph winds. The beer is so cold and I think I'm ZZZZzzzzzzz...........

At least you're not a bike snob....the saddle bag proves it.
Then I bought a bento box (mounted on the top tube) to put the stuff that wouldn't fit in the saddle bag. I agree, that made no sense whatsoever. |
PFFFFFFFFFT, if it doesn't fit in your jersey pocket you don't need it.
