I can find more excitement at the senor center tennis courts than you can find on the soccer field.

Slow leak detected. I'm not sure what caused it.

I can fit into my 33" boot cut jeans again.

When those get loose, the extent to which you are all utterly and completely effed cannot be overstated.

I assume you're referring to a 33 waist? I'm getting into my 30 inchers no problem these days. Got a ways to go yet, son.

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I just think it's weird that you expect others to finance your racing. Stop posting on BF, get a job, and pay for your own racing. If you were winning p/1/2 races I could see getting paid to race, but not when you can barely finish a cat 5 race.

Haha, I totally sound like an ass in that post, but it's true. Everyone else out there is paying for their entry fees. Cycling is an expensive sport. sac up or stick to doing group rides.

It's okay, everyone makes fun of razor. He doesn't seem to take it seriously, even when it is.

Hint hint.

I dont ride ALL the time, And job hunting gets old after 6 hours a day / 5 times a week.

Job = Would be nice... Been looking for 3 months now.

You don't spend 6 hours a day job hunting. Come on. It's not that hard to get a job that pays not much but more than nothing.

I got my first bike shop job by walking into a shop I'd not been in before. They offered.

Second one I applied.

Yes, most of the women in the pro peloton hate her guys, but respect where it's due.

That is rather amazing.

Agree there as well. Heck, I started, quit, and started riding again all in the time she has continued to ride, and win.

I was a 30-32 waist when I was about 18 or 19. I also weighed 135-150 lbs. If I get down to 160 now I look like I'm a terminal cancer patient. Currently about 170.

Trying, of course, to get down to 160. OK, so maybe if I did get to 160 I'd fit in 32 sized jeans. But I'd never buy a pair that size, because one bag of friggin Doritos and they'd never fit again.

Rebuild the Assault with a Pro+? Too bad Rob can't sell just a rear 50mm clincher. I hate to lose the wheel for the rebuild.

This would be less of an issue if his prices weren't so good.

Thanks for your interest. I'll have public relations do some research to determine if Cotsis CAD is a brand I want to be associated with.

Our sponsorship dollars are committed elsewhere through 2011 Gomer.

Those Psimet Zipp 404 clinchers are like the best friggin wheels I've ever ridden. Amazingly fast, stable, solid.
