Bike Forums - Addiction LXV

CLE is "continuing legal education", most (all?) state Bar associations require attorneys (even non-practicing ones) to get a certain number of hours of "education" per year to keep their licenses current.

Best use of scare quotes today.

I forgot about those and had to google. They were pretty good.

Good thing we didn't head out today. Guess there was a little trouble over by Evanston.

It's braided caramel coated in chocolate. Takes a long time to chew/eat, hence the name.

An unlikely choice for cycling food.

Fanny pack wearers deserve public scorn.

I did start cramping about mile 75 from rationing my water. Got a few snickers about my fanny pack but I won my age group. :thumb:

Marathon bar? Snickers? Too much candy.

I am thinking not. Prolly too much food, but I would rather have too much than too little.

Especially in the UK or Australia. Snicker.

I guess this must be your first century. My experience has always been that, at 50 I'm thinking this is going to be a snap. 30 miles later, not so much. Those last twenty require lots of water and some salt.

There is a very good chance that I will finish Addiction I tomorrow.

Nah, I have done a few. This will be the first one this year. But the other ones I have done have been fundraisers with stocked rest stops so I was not as concerned about packing food. There will be convenience store options but I am a cheapskate and would rather bring my own.

I found the big bag of brake parts, and it had three pairs of cantilevers in it, none of them with hangers. Now it has 5. I rode uptown to the LBS and got a complete set of V-brakes, for US$4. That project also should be done tomorrow.

I use a fanny pack for long, solo rides. I can practically carry the kitchen sink in there.
