There seems to be some epically ridiclulous chatter about some cyclist that has pushed this epically ridiculous thread onto page 2.

Thoughts?

I can't believe you would throw that in my face. I bear my soul, reveal my sensitive and vulnerable side and you make fun.

I need a hug. Where's pcad?

I don't know much about soccer, but I do know if you give up a goal kick from mid-field you pretty much stink.

Also true if you give up 10 points.

There should be a Hall of Infamy.

I wonder who takes drugs in BF

KiddSisko 05-20-10 02:16 PM

I almost always take an ibuprofen before I go on a ride. Am I doping?

Inflammation is part of the natural process of muscle building, inflammation is a crucial part of the healing process. Drugs like ibuprofen that reduce that pain also hinder that process. Bad idea to do that on a regular basis.

coasting 05-20-10 02:35 PM

what is the purpose of taking ibuprofen before a ride. it's a pain killer isn't it?

Tsuru 05-20-10 02:46 PM

I'll admit on a few stuffy nosed mornings I've doped up on this stuff:

They are green/white/red, I call them my Mexican EPO, that phenylephrine's got some kick!

Sport tourerish for those of us who can't afford the real deal :)

Fuzzy camraphone pic but you get the idea...My wife and I went down to 1 car last spring I just bought a new one 2 months ago. The original pla never included going through the winter on the bike :(

heckler 05-20-10 05:15 PM

My BP meds could cover if I took steriods...but I can't afford them :(

This is the reason I hang here...5000+ posts to get 4 great pics and a fact or two along the way. Thanks Pcad!

Is Cadel Evans the ultimate road nazi? Instead of yelling at people he goes straight to the fists.

Cool. So you can appreciate how fast the ST is for a 700lb bike if it's even faster than your 400lb 750cc motorcycle. It's pretty zippy.

Cadel really rides and behaves like a complete moron half the time. I can't figure that guy out.

So, although I am ashamed to say it, I got some clip on aerobars tonight. Some nice Profile t2+ $100 aerobars for $20. Can't beat that. I put them on the Giant to ride home, then switched to the Lotus just for fun. I figure if I hate em, I can flip em, but they seemed fun on the ride home. Fast, and I look fast.

heckler 05-20-10 07:18 PM

money is the only reason I have not yet purchased a full sized ST machine. They had an old connie 1000 when i bought my bike, but I thought it too big for a first bike. Kinda wish I bought it now.

patentcad 05-20-10 07:26 PM

The old connie sucked. The newer one is far different/better.

Velo Vol 05-20-10 07:36 PM

Lance wasn't the only notable American cyclist who had a road issue today.
