And no. More like 5 a year, realistically. Most I've ever done in a season was probably 15. I guess I should drop the "serious" from my little avatar thing.

Are you doing 50 or more races a year?

A busy morning. Must be Tuesday, and Barcelona.

[MENTION=351576]Heathpack[/MENTION] thanks for asking! It's going well, made it through training and learning how to play the metrics game so I can climb to the top of the little team I'm on. Once I do, I should be able to request a "normal" east coast schedule so I'm not getting home at 8:30 every night. It's amazing how much easier it is to motivate yourself at work when the company values you appropriately.

Do you miss yours?

I still have it but I'm only allowed to use it with supervision.

Waiting for the doctor and ignoring the no cellphone sign.

Nurse says that I've lost 4# since May. Still a Clyde, though. :(

Yes. Hit from behind in Kansas. Another rider (Wacker) was also hit in a separate incident. He thought he had to abandon, but sucked it up, and is continuing on.

But what if I emanate prose?

Does that make me a wannabe intellect?

I'm not smart enough to answer that one. Ask RP.

Vintage Shimano Sante Group Set 7 Speed Complete incl Hubs Headset Shifters

Yep, that was it. Weird coincidences.

My doc thinks my cough and fatigue are unrelated. She says there is a nasty upper respiratory viral thingie going around that can cause a cough up to 4 weeks but she doesn't think it has anything to do with my fatigue.

I suffer from anemia due to chronic bleeding caused by radiation damage and she thinks that more than likely that's the cause. Awaiting blood tests. :innocent:

Ofmega used to do pink plastic rear derailleurs. Probably only works well with friction shifters.

Sram had a sweet pink 9sp MTB RD, too

Thanks, Les. I knew I'd seen one somewhere.

I need some of those in my life. There is only so much black a man can handle.

Oh man, that is sweet looking. Look how much stuff came in a group back then.

Let us know so we can provide you the necessary advice. ;)

Seriously, feel better.

Actually I had an Ofmega crank on on the Trek 2000 with the Sante stuff.

I warm up on that road right next to Sewers, at the bottom of that hill you're standing on. I then head west and mess around on Lookout Mountain.
