Called out a guy for never pulling, letting gaps open, and yet always being there for the sprints on the local Tuesday night fastish ride. I think it was a gap I had about closed when he attacked around me up to the break (that he let go) that annoyed me just a bit too much to remain silent.

He was defensive, but there is really no defending something that really does not matter.

I guess its time to step out from the shadows. Been a long time lurker...some may call me a stalker. . Didn't mean to crash the Strava user group, but looks like I did - sorry for that. Of course, it may look like I was trying to inflate my miles per post (mpp) by preloading miles :)


Sometimes its more enjoyable just to listen, rather than try to make an impression


So while I may not still not know what this thread is about. I will offer the following insights:

  • Really impressed by Heathpack, Dan333SP, LAJ, and PepeM who race/TT. Anyone after age 24 who pushes full out is beyond me.
  • I was yelled at when I became involved in my first road race about a month ago. It was quickly apparent that I was going the wrong way. Of course if there had been signs or stewards to prevent me from entering the park circuit on one of my normal routes, perhaps this would have been avoided.
  • Thanks to Pepe, I own a bike purse. Haven't used it and it will never touch my road bike, but it looks like might work for other travels.
  • One tiny lion allows me to live in my house as long as requisite treats are provided at least once per day.
  • Being from WI, Culver's cheese curds are respectable, not a bad way to be introduced.
  • Pleased to see Trnstr and wife are well recovered from last years accident.
And as long as I am allowed to post now and then, I'll try not to leave in a huff.

Today we rode bikes, the weather was fine. Flat little easy ride along the cliffs, mostly easy. It ends with a gnarly 0.25ish mile 15% hill, which doesnt sound so bad as I write it here now but it's daunting when you are at the bottom of it. Loose dirt and rocks and rutted sections but really what's daunting is those uber steep little sections in the 17-20% range.

Anyway rode up the entire thing today for the second time ever. Wound up with a HR 10 bpm over threshold. Painful! But feels good to be able to do it. :)

Tomorrow we are planning on: more bikes. :) :) :)

Maybe everyone is askeered that the end is near, forgetting we are now on a quarterly system?

Or sleeping like normal people.

Awake is the new sleeping.

There is no end in sight. Mores the pity.

Hey Heathpack, when you say "we" are riding, does that mean you and Mr H?

Not just anyone can leave in a huff. You have to have a certain status. You don't qualify. Now that you are here, you are stuck for a good, long time. It is somewhat like the Hotel California.

Another cloudy misty dreary day in the NE. Still gonna ride. I predict low attendance at today's club ride, some people are afraid to get their bikes dirty. Their loss.

It's good that he didn't sling around insults without knowing the people he was slinging at.
