You're putting some of these on your bibs and vest, right?

EuroJosh

yeppers!

TimArchy

ooooh...
You just guaranteed that I'm never coming home now.
And I want to see a picture of the look.

TimArchy

crazy to stumble upon this. just scroll down a little.
This stuff is really going o go to their heads

yep

air wolf

How's this going to go to our heads? If I could afford to spend over 200 dollars on a pair of hubs they probably would be phil Woods.

EuroJosh

I think he was talking about the organizers of the race and how big it is getting, not those (cool) hubs. I think it's pretty awesome that folks are coming from everywhere to race on streets I ride everyday.

michael 66

Ha, yes.
We are all looking forward to riding in Atlanta.
Please tell us the hills aren't as rampant as they say.

TimArchy

The majority of the hills on the course are relatively short. But I wouldn't recommend following the exact course as outlined on the website. There are shorter, less hilly routes. You'll find them before the race gets going too far.
That said, if you're coming from st.pete, the steep 20ft driveway into the staging area might be all you can handle. Go ride up some parking decks for practice or something.

TimArchy

I mean, there are hills everywhere. It's horrible. I had to go uphill to get to the bathroom in my apartment. Taking a bath was difficult since all the water would run out of the tub.

purplebike

Um, all I saw were pretty pretty purple hubs.

mmm.

Oh, ok, and a team list.

Yay!

The hills are...well...you'll find out? The route's not too hilly, just getting from Octane to Skate Escape has at least one big hill and getting from Skate Escape to No Brakes might because you can't go through Piedmont Park.

We'll try to get everyone from out of town together on Friday night at some point to ride the route and drink beers for practice.

And the housing situation is still on hold. I haven't heard back from my friend, but no worries, you'll have a roof to sleep under on Friday night.

TheRobbStory

We're comin' for that azzzzz.


I know at least one group will be departing St. Pete at 11am on Friday. How long did it take you guys to get down here for Fixed Fight?

cleanolboy

It's like a 7 hour drive from St. pete I'm trying to leave around 11 or 12 Friday I have room for 1 or two more and their bikes, as long as you don't mind not having a seat in a minivan

purplebike

Seven or eight hours maybe? I don't remember. I do remember rocking out to some Christian station that was playing Jesus rap in Tampa though. It was classy.

EuroJosh

Jesus jesus rap, Jesus jesus rap
Go jesus go jesus
GO!
Go jesus go jesus
GO!
GO GO GO GO!

I have a prize for the first one to name the song I just parodied.
Back OT, I rode a solo century today, I'm peaked and feeling all athletic and *****.

TimArchy

Ninja Rap.
Vanilla Ice
Teenage Mutant Nnija Turtles II

Is my prize a round trip ticket home for next weekend?

EuroJosh

Damn, just damn. How about a ticket for a week from Monday?
Oh, and Amy said "Hi" and "I guess you can't do that on Bike Forums"

TimArchy

Hi Amy.

And that was easy. Try harder next time.

cleanolboy

I watched the turn of the century on the History channel solo and I'm feeling lonely and all nostalgic and *****. But that has nothing to do with what we're talking about here.

EuroJosh

Yesterday in preparation for the fm24/07 race I rode half of the distance I am planning on riding in the fm24/07 race.

EDIT: Sorry I really didn't mean to derail the discussion RE the logistics of getting here from there, I'm looking forward to possibly meeting ya'll.

purplebike

What? So you can take out your competition early? Leave the out-of-towners be...

Oh, and don't let Ohio get you soft!

I trained with beer and a couple of hills tonight. The hills were bad, the beer was not.

thunderfoot

indeed.... indeed.

TimArchy

If we're talking about training with alcohol. I trained with margaritas it Chiang Mai Saloon and did a 10k time trial home.
Damnit. I really want to do this race again. Although I can always say I went out undefeated, from the sounds of it josh is going to obliterate my record. Maybe if someone slipped some visene in his waterbottle...

Speaking of water, I hope they have a better plan than last year when I had to drink out of the bathroom faucet.

This year I've already committed to Louisville's Mondo Alleycat, but I'll do everything I can to make sure Cincy represents hard next year.
