OK, if hairy legs are involved, I'm in!

Should I shave my legs?

I petitioned the moderators to retitled it as such.

Thus far another example of Velo Vol being smarter than the moderators.

So I cue up for the race in PP yesterday, and I wind up next to the very same Team Organic dude who caused the crash on the Nyack Ride that sent me to the hospital. He is back racing 4 weeks later with a healing broken collarbone (simple break, he's doing OK). We compared Ptap head units. He has a Garmin. I asked him if he needed the GPS to find his way around the PP course. I told him to follow everybody else and keep making left turns. Nice guy, glad he's OK.

pcad's advice within the last 20 pages was not to be on the front when things get fast...he never listens.

And the shaving things goes both ways in marriage, I get to pick what she shaves (to some degree)

I just got back from watching the Crystal Ride.. a big non competitive ride thing with lots of freds on TT bikes with zipps. One of said freds (he did look legit-ish though) slid out and landed about a foot from where I was standing with my bike. That was scary. He was shaking, I was a little. I now am re-evaluating the whole racing idea.

Then on my ride home I crashed at 25. Kind of. Except I actually just fell because of clipless. Broke both of the shifter faceplates, ripped toupe, and broke a shoe buckle. Elbow is.. ick.

sucky. Glad you're relatively unscathed.

Leave the bike scuffed. It's ready to race now.

heckler 06-13-10 09:33 AM

Explain this falling at 25 due to clipless. I am wondering how that happened, and why it would be race related?

Clearly, you do not spend enough time in the 33's twitter feed.

Why don't we all just use friggin' twitter instead of infecting bf with these dumbass threads? Between this, the 33's twitter feed and the junior thread we collectively make up 99% of the interesting posts on bf, and most of them aren't even about riding bikes.

This morning I traveled by car to a couple roads I usually only see on rides.

It was hot, humid, and some spotty showers were firing up.

I saw a couple solo roadies along the way. I could only shake my head at how incredibly loser-like both of them looked.

Who would do something so dumb?

Don't be so hard on yourself. I shake my head at people sometimes too.

Those are cables? I thought those were the tubes for the new internal Cervelo hydration system.

I think it's fairly obvious those are cables that go to the electric motor hidden in pcad's seattube...not that it helped him much.

Tulex 06-13-10 12:52 PM

Hey pCad, why do racing roadies not smile? I see pictures on here of them, they always looked pissed, even when not on their bikes. What's with that?

I think that's why Gomer is destined to fail. He can't help but smile.

Tulex 06-13-10 12:54 PM

Oh, and is that a girl about to pass you in that picture?
