I looked in the mirror this AM and thought, for the first time in years, 'I'm awful close' (to my target weight). I don't know what that is of course. I won't weigh myself. Suffice it say my appearance is beginning to alarm even myself.
It's complicated.

Hey coasting, if you visit me @ Heathrow on the afternoon of August 17th, I'll buy you lunch @ Burger King and fatten you back up.

i'm only online right now because I want my enormous breakfast ot oatmeal to digest a bit before I ride. Throwing up on the bike is bad because the acid burns the paintwork.

1) I sold my MTB, this justify's me having more shwag around. I am doing some good training too so i can justify the Small expense in a practically free frame.
2) Why cant i just - Toss the stuff from my 1.5 on there? IMHO i can use it as a normal Road bike. i see nothing wrong with doing that. And if i run into compatibility issues I have a nice TT/TRI bike! the fact that i can't race again till i have a full time job means i wont be racing the rest of the year ( that i know of)

I am not sure if I would change the fork on the P1...it probably will change the geo.
of course the stock one is faster
just get a garmin then you have no wires or sensors.

Of course, I tried to "walk off" the leg injury I got last fall. It didn't work out so well. I had to use a cane for several weeks -- gained many pounds.

last year i had a hamstring tendon strain or maybe it was tendonitis. very unpleasant and now I recognise it I am worried. I've got one of those heat wraps on the knee right now but I'm not sure if it is heat or ice I should be using. websites seem to say both so whatever. Ibuprofen cream is nice though.

jumped into an A ride today in north carolina. I think they were nice and waited for me. I now hate hills. I also hate my garmin for not charging last night. I also hate my KMC master link for snapping open. and I hate my lungs for not breathing properly. I also hate that I'll be going home in 2 days and won't have a chance to hate hills again for a long time. i love this stupid sport.

Good God I felt great today.
Souls were crushed, children cried and I didn't get dropped.

It's alarmed us for some time now.
But what do you care.

I also like riding here because Im not worried about being on the wheel of a person riding zipp 808's or a di2 rear derailleur or a limited edition dogma. My bike also doesn't feel like a hunk of junk out here, it actually fits in. Miami sucks. I also hate my 53/39 25-12. I asked myself, why would you ever need anything more? I'm just glad i didn't get that 21-11 like i wanted or i would've done a lot of walking today.

Hey coasting,
If you want to impress your American cycling companion strike up a conversation about the recent near miss with college sports conference realignment. Discuss how, despite all the brouhaha with the PAC 10 and Big 10, the SEC remains the NCAA's premiere conference. Mention how you think Tennessee will return to glory in a couple years.
He'll be amazed you know so much way across the pond.
