The units still confuse me, but it does indeed seem that calories and kj's are pretty close with the garmin (at least with a PM). For some reason I thought they were very different, but I think that happens when the garmin calculates calories without a pm.

Stick to analyzing Big East football.

Big East = SEC East

(now the SEC west is another story)

Hey coasting, do you have any concoctions for headaches?

It's called sniping an auction. Don't let it stop you from bidding, just play the same game. I use bidnip.com to snipe auctions. Essentially you set the max limit price for the auction and then let bidnip bid for you. It uses Ebay's minimum bid and will bid up to your maximum price. It does this within the last few seconds of the auction. You do have to be able to accept if it goes over your price though, as you will still loose the auction. You can still go to bidnip before the auction ends and raise your price if you feel so inclined. It has a cost, currently about $.70 per auction, but it was about $.25 a couple of years ago, but you get 5 free for signing up. There are other services out there that do the same thing.

funnily enough I never seem to get headaches even when i'm ill. i'm amused that quackery is sought before medical advice in this thread. I am pleased.

I suggest that there are no homebrew concoctions for headache which is not an illness in itself but a symptom of potentially lots of illnesses ranging from the trivial to life threatening. At the trivial end with something like migrain, this is usually caused by a trigger such as certain foods. the cure for this would not be a concoction to take but a food/chemical to avoid.

At the serious end, no homebrew will save you from imminent death.

I would eat Advil if I had some.

homebrew poison would make imminent death faster.

The roads are still too icy, and I am way too lazy to go outside and do some X-C skiing, so I just did 40 minutes on the rollers.

I did it to the TPOH, "The Pursuit of Happiness" CD "Lovejunk" from the early 90's, anyone still remember that? Seems a bit dated but not too bad. I think the band was/is from Canada.

hey datlas, how do you like my quackery today?

I have to say, I was severely disappointed. The least you could have done is tell BLR to make a smoothie out of beets, celery, "coriander", garlic, and pomegranate juice and drink it in 15seconds. All while videotaping himself and posting on youtube.

I ordered them on 10/6/10 and received them on 11/19/10. They took about two weeks longer than they would have due to me changing the hubs at the last minute.

With blue instead of pink, this may be the new Oscar.

thanks, now I won't bother Rob just yet. (its been 3 weeks and I'm antsy, although they won't be on the bike till March anyway)

i'm saving that for velo gator. last time i gave her a perscription for a cold i made her eyeballs pop out.

i like colouful bikes. i even like pink on bikes and cycle clothing. I'm just not brave enough to be seen with pink.

I only put in 18 miles today but I think I should get a few htfu points for the ride. The temp was around 22 or so with a real feel around 14.

This is how the roads looked for about 1/2 of the ride. Reminded me of riding the rollers.

you rode a road bike in snow?

on my ride today there was no snow but it was freezing and frost was all over the roads. I slipped and skidded on a number of turns which was a bit scary.

Yeah, it was fun but kept me on my toes. The biggest downside was everytime I put a foot down I had to clean out my cleats.

your bike has slushbergs

When I raced back in the Southeast in the early-mid 80's, there was a team that rode pink DeRosa bikes. At the first race I ever did (in Columbia SC) they pulled up in a pink 60-something Cadillac (one with the big fins on the back), got out wearing their pink kits, and unloaded those pink DeRosas. I thought it was pretty damn funny.

Of course, they then proceeded to dominate the CAT races they were in.

I rode in the "Citizens" race. I remember having to borrow gloves and a jersey because mine had this really cool multi-colored stripe on them, and since I wasn't a current or former world champion, I wasn't allowed to wear them in my race. That and watching some guy snap his arm in half at the bottom of a hill when he took a turn wide were the most memorable moments. For the record, I came in 14th out of 50-something riders.

I bet I have one. PM me with your address.
