I don't like it. And it leaves residue on my hands.

Had a kid run out in front of me yesterday while doing a sprint interval on the pista. Hooked the front wheel to the right a bit too far and due to toe overlap jammed my left foot, which sent me otb and smack right onto my right hip, slightly bruised as well.My first concern was my right shoulder, because I whacked it pretty good. Shoulder seems to be fine over 24 hours later.
Had to retape the bars, tore the tape something awful. Hauled it down from cruising speed but still went OTB and still have nagging injury on my hip somedays. |
I'd like to add, no school monday. 4 day weekend! Hopefully more.

Thinking of getting this single-speed 29er for warm weather commutes. What do you think?

^^ My bad . . . I was reading too much between the lines :o
|
I guess you need to be wearing your reading glasses so you can actually focus on the lines.
|
Careful, there, sonny.
|
Sorry, sir!

As if our 2 and some feet of snow was not enough, we are expecting 10-20 inches tomorrow/wednesday. I don't think we're having school this week.
|
almost all our snow melted. lol
Must be getting hammered over there? I was talking to my uncle... His snowplow truck keeps getting stuck because of the amount of snow. |
Hahaha, yeah, the city actually ran out of salt. I actually live just outside of DC though. I built this awesome track to go biking on out of snow in my back yard. It didn't work. I just kept sliding.

Dangit snow. 10-18 expected with this upcoming one.

It seems the road department here is barely competent enough to handle 2" of snow fall.

Those pictures look awesome, but I don't have a ramp! Also, the video is cool.
It has been bugging me that I've not been able to figure out the speeds people reach in downhill races - Dminor - input? |

Biggest snowfall I've seen in person is 3'.
Guess I have to dig the mtb out and put the minions on it for tomorrow. |
What speeds are reached.
