If they do, be sure to video it and post it on BF.

I note that we appear to be cultivating a new generation here to carry the torch when we can't take this any more.
They're sadly deficient in writing skills, but that's somehow fitting.
Millennials.

That must be amazing. Today we had one that hit 18 briefly and one at 12% for a bit longer. I've never experience a climb like that and for me it was intense. I was trying my hardest to hang on to the lead group but once I fell back a bit I felt much better and started to have fun. 1650 ft over 35 miles. 1650 ft is my 200-250 mile week.

Nyack tomorrow. In late June. Without a lot of big races going on. There will be 100 fast guys. I will endeavor to stay in the first 10 as much as possible. Felt good today. Hoping the newfound skinnyosity will help me on the upgrades. Always does.
Newsflash to all you Fred Idiots: you want to climb better? Lose 5 lbs. You want to climb much better? Lose 15. Think of all the effort I could save those stupid Bicycling Magazine writers with all those moronic 'Climb Better in 2 Weeks!' articles.
That is all.

I would rather have an aero road frame and clip ons than a non-aero road frame and TT bars...

Why are some many Country songs about being "country" nowadays? "I'm country, she's country, this is a country song about how great it is to be country", etc...
What happened to the good old themes about drinking whiskey, cheating on women, having women cheat on you, being a boy named Sue?
I put it to the savants of the BF Brain Trust.

I forget where I saw it, but someone converted an s-works transition to a fixie.
