Dang, busy day in here.

I was out riding a solo century...and I just had a couple bites of ice cream and now I'm drinking beer. Not a bad friday. I'm sure at some point, I'll finish it off with a slice of pizza.

I was gonna text and ask if you wanted to ride today, but got busy with yard work.

I was in your hood too. I was thinking I might run into you but I only saw 3 people on bikes all day...and was almost killed about 4 different times. I hate cars more and more every day.

Nice! Care to share the route? I was out today for ~28 miles even though I had too much work to do. 53 and sunny on my bike was way better than sitting at the computer for lunch. If I am out at all tomorrow it will be pulling the trailer with my kiddo and his bike over to Bellevue for some 'racing' on the dirt track.

I used to run around the track at Bellevue.

I saw that. Your neighborhood must be pretty congested with motorists.

So did I. How long ago is your BITD? 20ish years for me.

Yard work + Arizona?
Does not compute.

It really is a wonderful day when you find out that your body morphology is just enough outside the norm that you can't fit yourself to a production bicycle...lmfao

saddle pushed 14mm further forward on seatpost (or straight post and ~10 mm back)
70mm long 45° stem instead of 90mm 0°
40mm of spacers

I'd go with custom, too.

Me too in case you were wondering.

Yeah, they got all those cactus needles to scrape up. And all that sand has to be kept in place.

Oh and don't forget the pool has to be shut down. It's going to be in the 70s next week - heavy coat weather. :lol:

f4rrest 11-20-15 10:17 PM

Rocks. Lotsa rocks. That's what I remember.

Wasn't Bellevue a Mental Hospital?

Apparently the Bellevue in Philadelphia is (thanks, Google). The one in DE is a state park.

Thank you for the clarification.

This will not prevent me from posting nonsense.

Maybe also in Philly, but made famous in New York City.

...I just Wikipedia'd it. I had no idea that Bellevue reached back to 1736. :eek:

Doug28450 11-20-15 11:13 PM

Now I feel bad. I feel as though I posted something of value to this website. I made an obscure reference to a mental hospital and people are learning stuff.

...writing an article talking up boxing as the ideal exercise routine is even stoopider than running. I'm guessing the author never took a shot to the head.

...two things come to mind:
1. It's just Wikipedia, so if you believe the real experts in the 41 here, I didn't really learn anything.
2. What were we talking about again ?

That was my first thought as well. When I was going through AOCS we had a boxing class. That was stoopid.

Talking about shots to the head, the UFC built up the bantamweight women's bout here in Australia last weekend using champ Ronda Rousey as the front person. Honestly, I got sick of sports news websites and seeing all this crap and her picture. Then in the second round of the bout, she copped a bit hit from Holly Holm, went down and that was it. Bye Bye Championship for Rousey. And do you know... the coverage hasn't stopped about her! For heaven's sake, give me a break.

The media coverage really does bring into question its sincerity in publishing articles about family violence and the effect on women. Hypocritisism (sorry, hypocrisy) at its best.
