Pleasantly surprised that the Vikes pulled one out of the hat at the end. I thought they were done for.

Hi,

I'm new here and I'm getting ready to get my first rode bike. Should I get carbon fibre, aluminum or steel? Should I get disk breaks or rim breaks? Finally, what size bike should I get?

Yup. So is French word for shower. And the word following "ritz" or "premium saltine."

I kinda wish they would get rid of the censor, or limit to only truly inflammatory words like the N word and the C word.

Magnesium burns crazy hot, but it takes a lot to get it started. You don't just hold a match to it like newspaper if it is thick. The very high heat conduction efficiency of it takes the heat of the flame source away too fast for the material to catch fire. In the chem lab experiment mentioned above, the thin strips couldn't dissipate enough heat to prevent combustion. The main problem with it is how brittle it is.

It comes up on page #1 on my computer. Might be something in the settings, or maybe my computer is made of carbon and is faster? :lol:

Running is awesome.

This morning was the second event in the Austin Distance Challenge: Run For The Water, where each entry provides water access to someone in Burundi (which, unfortunately, I think saw just got into a civil war). The weather was perfect, with a light sprinkle that lasted for the first mile or two (of ten). My goal had been 1:05, improving on last year's 1:11:46. All the running this year paid off, but I got into the same situation I did at the 3M Half Marathon this February; my pace was 6:29 (so right on target) but Garmin gave the distance at a hair over (10.03) so my total time was 1:05:01. Having hit my average pace target, this is one of very few situations I'll actually accept as a moral victory.

Further, the race pace predictor from this says I should be able to do a marathon in 3:02:XX, which would qualify for Boston. I say that knowing full well that there's a huge difference between "calculated marathon pace" and "actually running 26.2 miles that fast". Still, it's better than having the calculation come out the other way.

Paketa makes bikes out of magnesium I believe.
