^ said ride.
Average is awful. I was hurting though, which is odd. Oh well. Sun burned. I said 79 miles because I forgot to press start for a mile.

Jesus Razor your sig is annoying. I added the images to my add filter.

Oh. My. God. 79 solo miles. I swear that the 3 mile two percent grade on the way back was not there the first time. It's not steep, but if you try to coast, you slow. No shade. That was awful, but a good ride none the less. Got far enough that once I saw farms and pick 'em up trucks I turned around.
Now I'm enjoying a cream soda and ordered pizza. My mom got home and saw me passed out on my bed while still wearing my kit.

I'm sick of all this Gulf oil slick drudgery. I'm hopping on the Lear jet and going to the yacht races in England. Who's with me?

Thanks, I actually had no idea where I was going. I stayed on the MUP which thins out after you get out of the cities, and then it gets hilly. I knew I couldn't get lost on the mup, so I just followed that back. I've never been to Clarke's Gap before - didn't know it existed. There were two guys + a girl in a pick up that stared me down up a hill. Then I saw them again, and got the same reaction. The guys had long hair and tats. Smoking. I didn't feel comfortable out there, I don't think they like my kind - funny little pants and all.

I felt the Fred leaving my body today, then I had a cheeseburger and a couple IPA's to put it back.

i just decided i was going to run the Cervelo as a full frameset. The forks arent the same , plus it would look fugly with a white/red fork on it. however Red/Black will look sweet. then all i need are shifters for the Trek. i am sure i can find some 9SPD shifters on here. might need a few other things too, But this means my old Trek 1400 is getting retired. It needed being done anyway.

82 miles to Carter Lake with my wife sucking my wheel most of the time. No worries, though, she's faster with her new psimet wheels. I did almost get killed by some person towing a boat in the final climb to the lake, but that's to be expected on a hot day. We got passed by about 50 Mazda Miatas. Odd. Exactly the same old dude and his wife in every car.
I bet Pcad has considered the Miata.

Two of my favorite musicians, J. Mayer and K. Urban, together on a new Crossroads (CMT). If you like guitar playing and American music (yes I know K. Urban is Aussie, but he's a huge country star in the US), watch this.
That's a lotta talent on one stage. Big Fun.

The latter however will not end until Gomer, Coasting and Pcad complete the BF Relief Well, which is by no means a sure solution. If we miss, the Gusher of BF Stupidity could continue unabated for years.

I did have a post-ride, deck sitting, paper reading, coffee drinking moment. No radio because the Cubs were getting shelled. Endorphin Euphoria.
