Sorry about your dog. 
Now that we got the obligatory condolences out of the way...dude, if you gain a little weight and become a big handsome stud like me, you can coast down them hills at way better than 29mph!

First sorry about your dog.
Now...as my friend Chipcom is so good at pointing out:
R600 Dura Ace has once again posted one of his classically idiotic posts about him wondering whether some poor guy out riding is trying to drop him in Central Park while he carefully watches his wattage meter...errr dial...errr...flux capacitor to make sure he doesn't pump out too many jiggawatts of energy and warp through back through time.
I digress.... adding the fact that his dog recently died while sad, is a brilliant way to insure that we respond to yet another R600DA thread. I'll give him this..he ain't very bright, but he's entertaining in a twisted shake your head kinda' way. A classic tool if ever there was one.

This is pretty unlike me: But, both times I've met victor, as arrogant as he might've been, he was pretty quiet and reserved, he seemed like a nice guy. But... we have all read his posts.. so....

Sounds like Central Park would be a nice place to cool down and end your workout after a long ride... Hmm...
Or maybe the guy just went home because he was done riding.
Yawn.

This is the best article you'll ever read about the passing of man's best friend.

I hope to see you in the park someday, so I can watch in awe as you dial it up to 400w and leave me choking on your tire dust.

I'm moving to New York just so I too can behold the magnificent cycling dolt that is...R600Dufa-Ace.
Actually, ya know, I bet he's fun to ride with. You'd be all, like, imagining his stream of 'consciousness', what's going on in that noggin as he desperately clings to your wheel and wheezes and curses...
"I was only drafing to keep his computer in my view as my batterage had gone dead unspectly, thus causing me to have no idea what my output might be, probaly at least 275, mabye peaking 420 on hills. I could tell he was working hard, harder than I would at this sppeed, and I fought back a laugh. Next time, if he gets in my way, and I have full operating power meter, he will pay"
Hey Victor, all in fun, love your posts, and seriously, if I make it out to NY I'll give you a ring and let you kick my ass.

Funny though I began to gain ground on him on the descends. I was very close to his wheel as we were passing 125th street exit.
Where, pray tell, is there an exit in CP at 125th street? Kind of difficut, when the northern border of the park is 110th street.

Sorry to hear about your dog....but wouldn't have to garner your 'first' win in order to dedicate your 'next' win?
Sorry but your constant I dropped so and so posts really set up up for this.

He kept trying to get away, because he knew if you got past him, you'd give him "the look".

OK - noobie question...
How does he know how many watts he is putting out? I know that is what a powertap hub is for, but can you see the watt output while riding? I thought you couldn only download all the data later...
