Nice! I am jealous. going to a B.Q. On sunday no ride for me. :cry: sucks. I gotta get my miles in I leave for 2 weeks on Tuesday so no ride for 14 days.

That's why I said "outside shot". You're right that he hasn't show it this race, but he has that kind of potential, and has hung in there so far.

In that case, I have an outside shot of winning my next bicycle race.

You have potential?

I have an outside shot at hooking up with a Hollywood actress via social media.

I think you mean you have an outside shot at getting a social disease hooking up with a Hollywood actress.

Crash potential. That and I hope to beat my time from 2 years ago in the TT I'm doing June 6.

Apparently no Gomerette has deemed you worthy of her affections eh?

And professional wrestling is real....

It's not?

Besides, I did say 'maybe'.

Pcad is the BF BS Hedgemaster Deluxe.

I have an outside chance at...nah not a chance in hell...sigh...

Not yet. Or maybe it's the other way around?

Uh huh.... like that would ever happen ^^

50 miles on clinchers today, no flats.

Alert the Guiness Book of World Records. Coasting, don't you know those guys?

50 miles is your longest ride ever?

So I take back the Sastre comment....but was still right about Cadel. Has no chance against Basso on climbs this big.

Inauspicious start: got a flat only three rides in to the new Conti Attack/Force duo.

Switched to Pro 3s after a flurry of flats on the GP4000s. Flat protection has been awesome. Never thought I'd use anything but a Conti.

of course. i have a page dedicated to my record breaking achievements. I'll pull some strings for you.

hey pcad

have you seen fauxto nick's amazing teeth? were yours ever that nice before they started falling out?

today i got my 110mm stem and replaced my initial 90mm stem. i felt like all the pressure was taken off my shoulders. tomorrow i will give the new set-up a nice 80 test ride and if no pain developes, I will declare my new bike finally complete.

moral of the story. listen to your body. don't try and adapt to an ill fitting set-up.

With the frequency, distance and weather extremes you ride in Pcaddy maybe these should be your tire of choice....

"Continental GP 4 Season Vectran Folding Tyre
Ultimate combination of speed, lightweight and wet weather performance with excellent sidewall and puncture protection for all weather racing.

- All weather tyre for performance riding whatever the conditions
- Ultra-fine polyamide casing for supple all day performance
- MaxGrip Silica tread compound is specifically optimised for wet weather grip even in low temperatures
- DuraSkin polyamide mesh layer fabric on sidewalls protects the casing against cuts, punctures and abrasion whilst only adding 10g per tyre
- Constructed from 5 plies, totalling 430 tpi
- Weight: 220g (700x23mm)"

I thought I saw a pic of one of his bikes with those exact tires. They're decent, but they're hardly bombproof -- nothing reasonably lightweight is.

For all around riding in slop, my pick would be Bontrager Hardcases (the "Race Lite" lingo is a joke -- they weigh over 300g). Flat resistance is very good and they're cheap. You'd definitely want to swap out the tires on race day.

vittorio rubino pro. i'm sticking with those. very happy camper.

What kind of complete Fred Idiot recommends friggin Bontrager? Good grief.
