not long until you knees are toast.

still confused? probably.

I climbed a whole 1600ft in Miami yesterday. https://connect.garmin.com/player/33047577

make sure to watch the player to find out what that takes.

Razor is soooo goddam hardcore because he refuses to use the 39/25...badass!

Clearly the dirty work of remounting a chain is something better left to commoners and colonials.

perhaps some proper white gloves would help?

then again, at 135 lbs don't you just kinda float up hills?

I'm 125, and no you don't float up hills.

So that is like 3.5% grade? Yeah, if that's what a hill is in Florida, I may have to move there....

basically. it bounces around from 2% to 6% but mostly in the 3s. It's a bridge we affectionately call Mt Miami. I might try a parking garage next time, but the bridge does make for good intervals, and the head wind in one direction is pretty demoralizing when your typical idea of a lot of climbing is going over the bridge 4 times in 3 hours.

Mercy.

typical pcad thread. endless forehead slapping fun.

you weigh .5 of me. I weigh 2 razor weight units. thats funny.

I feel better today. I think my head is starting to clear.

What day is it?

how long off the bike did the doc order?

Hell, my doctor thinks I didn't sustain a concussion. Trust me on this, he is profoundly incorrect on that. I was having light headaches and nausea through yesterday continuously since the crash. I've had post-concussion syndrome before, that's what it feels like. I lost consciousness for 10+ minutes. I had a concussion all right.

I'm staying off the bike because if I feel nauseous just walking around it's probably not a great idea to perch myself on a bicycle. I had a tooth extracted Tuesday and I don't want to blow the blood clot out of my lower jaw, that results in a very painful condition called dry socket, I've also been through that before.

Off the bike until at least Sunday. Those are my doctor's orders. I'll get back faster if I rest this week. I have learned this through painful past experience.

Where's the problem?

Let's hear more about the coked up ****s.

i wonder if pcad was a mass murderer in a former life to have such bad karma.

I'm beginning to wonder if a majority of people in the medical professions are idiots.

Hey Yaniel,

I was just looking at that on Street Views--never been down to that part of Miami.

Is traffic not a problem on that road?

You don't find these kind of events just anywhere.

"Breakfast with the kudzu eating goats"

The road has a bike lane from beginning to end on both sides, doesn't mean that it's safe, but its doable. I don't know if you remember the thread a couple of months back about a cyclist killed by a drunk driver in Miami, it was on that road. I was buzzed by a Ferrari doing about 90-100 mph up the bridge yesterday but thats par for the course in that area.

Mt Doom has nothing on Mt Miami

what the F. i get a message saying my ip adress has been banned. eh?

I used to go down to my grandparents' place north of Ft. Lauderdale about once a year. This was before I really picked up cycling, but from what I recall it seemed like a pretty crappy area (roads/traffic) for road cycling.

Of course I could warm up to the idea more from November-March.
