You heard it here first. Chicago will be the winner in free agency.

I rest my case.

There are others.

So what was it?

As long as the Cubs are in Chicago, the town can never really win.

Now that's not true. Chicago will always be about the Bears. Unfortunately, all we have at the moment is Super Bowl XX.

Then the Bulls, the Hawks, and the Cubs. And the White Sox.

All that experience! Ok I gotta stop. its getting kinda creepy.

In other words, slow.

Leg shaving question: Are you supposed to shave every day? Or every few?

I do it about once a week, when it starts to get picky.

What do you mean by picky?

The average speed on my ride today was 18.4 mph

32.

This is what Pcad is going to retire to from the Nyack ride with in another two or three years.

when the fur starts to grow back its like beard stubble, when my legs rub together its picky.

How far?

Edit: never mind I found it.

Busted. Hey, 7,000 vertical feet of climbing. 15.5 mph, and that included a 20 mile stretch @ 21-22 mph with the Park Ridge boys.

I got yelled at today. A lot. I was riding with a couple of road nazis on their "recovery ride". They took it in turns to yell at me up the climbs. Was it motivating? Yes, but my legs hurt.

Ever since I got my computer the other day, I find myself staring at it during the ride. I hate that.

Anyway, it's interesting comparing the road nazi stats to mine. Apart from a 2 minute difference in ride time (waiting for me on top of a couple of the tougher hills) the rest of it was remarkably similar. The heart rate profile and average shows he was putting in a decent amount of effort. I guess what i heardd is true that climbing is not easier for stronger riders; it just takes less time.

Is that slow? Without having ever done that ride, I wouldn't have a clue.

I shave everyday or every other day to keep them nice. It's bad when your legs are smoother than your girlfriend's.

you anorexics should know I'm going to go to an all you can eat sushi buffet tonight. In preparation, I have eaten nothing since my ride except a watermelon milkshake and a lettuce salad. I'm starving and I intend on putting them out of business.

That's not an insignificant amount. You're pardoned this time.

While everyone else here is fattening up this weekend, I'm getting skinnier.

What else is new?

Assuming his elderly self can recover, I predict Pcad will do something notable next weekend on one of his group rides / races. Doing 7k of climbing and over a hundred miles has a way of making that happen.
