Bike Forums - Addiction LXV

So...

...We're getting the puppy, pending figuring out a few minor details. I guess that means its not 100% but I'd say 95%. A lot going on right now, so we won't get her until mid-June.

Did I post the pic already? Can't remember.

Her name is Phoenix. She is half-Russian.

Doglovich. :)

Not exactly a ringing endorsement for electronic shifting.

Counterpoint: I played with etap for the first time on Saturday on a bike in my shop's stand. A bamboo bike with oval rings, no less.

It felt really nice. Seems pretty conclusive to me.

One of our women's team members rode her eTap bike to a podium spot yesterday.

She must have had a lot of spare batteries. How else can you account for it?

If anyone wants to watch a race video, this is from that dedicated crit course I mentioned yesterday-

[MENTION=415273]jtaylor996[/MENTION], that blows. Hope you get to do some quality stuff with your Dad.

Well I read the slowtwitch thread and also the entire last Addiction thread that [MENTION=200588]Velo Gator[/MENTION] aka ijen posted in, up until her last post.

Questions for her, if in fact she's back:
1. Did you accuse Herbie of starting the ST witch hunt? I wasn't sure I followed the gist of that exchange.
2. Did you ever elope with Darrin?
3. Why did you change your BF name?
4. Are you still racing Ironmans (Ironmen?)?

And they're small. You put a spare in your pocket.

Another question: was Soloist Assasin the guy who got exiled into Trollheim for awhile? He was trolling, I assume? Is that what got him banned in the end?

Are we allowed to ask such things?

I don't know that he was ever quarantined in TH. I think that he may have gone through one or two short-term bans and then a longer period of self-exile. He finally came back, was good for a handful of posts and then I think that he got set off by something, compared the mods to Nazis and was banned for good. And I wouldn't characterize him as a troll, he just wasn't terribly tactful and was given to believing in... crazy ****.

I was impressed that politics were being discussed and no ones panties got in a wad.

Someone got exiled to Trollheim. [MENTION=236201]RollCNY[/MENTION] mentioned it once.

Oh, I think that I know what you're talking about - iirc, a thread of his got moved in to TH at which time he was mercilessly hammered. I don't know if he was actually quarantined - he wouldn't have been able to hold his own in there at all.

And if he seemed normal, read more.

If Darrin is the navy? air force? helo pilot. then yes. iJen/Velo Gator ended up marrying him.

Mini rant. My old house (moved in Feb) had easy accsss to a very flat route with minimal lights/traffic. New house doesn't, unless I ride through half the city. I do have access to twisty and lumpy roads which I like, but sometimes I want to just set my 6am brain on cruise and ride. Oh well.

This thread provides good mental training for the mindnumbingness of road cycling.
