Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Suck on that.
I'd say it's quite arguable that EVERYBODY is a loser at weight weenies.

So today I did the Nyack Ride. I deployed every ounce of Top Secret Pcad Skunkworks Velo Technology (A Cervelo S2 with D.A. 7900 and Zipp 404 tubies) and ventured forth. There was the typical Cat 1/2 Festival a minute or two up the road and the rest of the Nyack Idiots chasing. The break succeeded, but I did hang with the chase group and even beat half those mopes up the 200 meter hill sprint @ the end.

How humiliating for all of them.

The ride was notably easier with the Zipp 404 tubies, I got shelled near the last week with non aero clincher rims.

Also, that S2/404 setup is so aero I had to hit the brakes on the one 40 mph descent to avoid rear ending the guys in front of me going down the hill. Man that bike rolls fast. I've noticed that time and again. That S2 aero wheel combo does help when you're trying to ride with faster guys, i.e. for me, anybody else on the planet with USA Cycling license.

I've been listening to his off the wall crap for 4 years and not so much as raised my hand.

Who can argue with this?

At least one other (former) BF Member of note thought I was a Legend too, as evidenced by the graphic he created for this site below.

Happily, your comprehension is not relevant to the larger Pcad Cycling Zen Agenda.

So I just got back from Nyack and on the way stopped by the lbs to pay MSRP for a new chain; sweet!

The upside was that they had a few bikes equipped with Di2. Jesus, help me...

weightweenies and RBR are full of self important idiots up their own asses who think they are important in the world of cycling. Actually most cyclist are unimportant. They ride, they shoot the breeze and there it ends. That is what BF has above the other sites. self delusion is less prominent.
