Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

R600 exudes wattage.
He farts tornados.
He pisses radioactive napalm.
His bike is custom made out of steel I-beams.
He stomps on the pedals so hard he splits atoms, the inspiration for the Manhattan Project. In a way, DA is responsible for US victory in WWII.
He's the most powerful cellphone relay tower in the world.
He can crush an oil drum on his forehead.

There is this rider in a bike forum calling me a poser because I want to
complete a century within 5 hours and would go all out for 40 miles at 100%
to 103% LTHR and sub 100% LTHR for the remaining 40 miles. 1 rest stop.
The first 20 miles would be warm up. I told him I normally trained in criss
cross intervals for over 30 miles in Central Park (5 laps), 1 hour and 25
minutes, and spend over 30 minutes in 100%+ to 106% LTHR. Average about 5+
minutes in 100%+ LTHR on one lap. My LTHR is 177, MHR is 193. Max LTHR
reached is 110%. He didn't believe the data and accused me of getting my
LTHR screwed up and calling me a poser, once I told him about my data. I
called him a lazy ass who rarely rides above his LTHR. He further claimed
that, according to his expertise, NO ONE can ride more than 30 to 40 miles
at their LTHR at all. Is this guy a moron or what? I know he knows ****
about racing because in a race you DO ride above your LTHR for more than 5
minutes in several successions or attacks.

R600DuraAce has no lactate threshold. Rather, he pours battery acid into his muscles through specially-implanted nozzles and rides at 10,000% BTHR (the B is for Battery).

Wow, that takes you back--In the days when the dial was in BPM, not watts.

While the units on the dial may have changed, the tool remains the same. No, not the bike, the other tool.

Does anyone know what this AMAZING FIRST THREAD that R600DuraAce started? I have time to waste here...

Oh btw... The leading causes of death in the United States are: 1. Heart Disease 2. R600DuraAce 3. Cancer

I still say the reason he hasn't posted again is:

A. He knows he's a complete tool. And doesn't want to be ripped on further.

B. The Flux Capacitor in his wattage dial has reached full output and he hit 88 mph downhill and has been catapulted forward through time to when riders are actually fast enough to keep up with him.

R600's posts are a lot like FLW's architecture... spectacular to behold from afar, but once you've been inside one, you realize the damn roof is leaking.

Too bad the archives don't go back further--this is from 3/29/05.

NYC is a pretty cramped place--you'd think his neighbors would complain about the smell from the colossal pile of bull***** eventually.

R600DA looks like he's suffering in that pic, he must be at, at least, 105% LTHR.

Too funny. All of his threads have the same tone. Dropped this guy, dialed up to this wattage, looked back and he was defeated, nobody can beat me...

This guy is having his own personal races that nobody apparently knows about. He could be "racing" hot dog carts for all we know.

Hehehe....a lot of Hard folks here. I placed 61 out of 125 riders. The result didn't tell me how many actually finished the race. I was racing with the cat4.
A quote from Mr. DuraAce himself from that same thread.

My favorite quote was "I was riding in prospect park, and there were alot of riders around, so I figured a race was going on".
