that trek thread started by razor reappeared today and i have to say razor's trek sure is pretty. if it came as a non self destruct carbon version i might buy it. that red wine red is really good on a bike. much better than the bright ferrari red that most red bikes go for.

Then it would be like bland porridge. You know, like the UK.

I like the whacked weather. It was fun having four feet of snow in the yard this winter.

I swear the shelves are lower in NJ CVS stores than in DC. I usually have to look at eye level, or up, at home to find stuff. Here I look down almost always. I was also the tallest person in the store, whereas at home I'm kind of in the middle at 5 9. Strange.

Whenever you think the blather here can't get less relevant or more pointless, it does.

That's something.

i don't understand

Only 92F here. Still, the grass is toasty crisp because it doesn't rain here anymore.

my lawn is starting to go brown too. lets all moan about the hot weather. 4 years of no summer and constant rain and the first time we get a couple of weeks of solid sunshine and we are moaning about the heat. sheesh. moan moan moan. now i'm moaning about our moaning. i need some cheese for this whine.

As I recall, you've been the only person to complain about the heat. I like it hot.

However, we do need rain. A couple weeks @ 90F without it really isn't good for anything.

not me brother! 65 miles in 97 degree heat today I had to stop twice and load up on fluids. freaking awsome!!!! I love it



but I am really wiped out right now.

moaning about the weather is a national sport.

And hungry.

Bout to go on a ride! + Got my racing license! + 1st race Thursday probs! + New helmet!

time to move on to 33 and don't look back.

I like the hot weather. The lack of rain is a bit of a drag. For example our underground sprinklers are useless because the well can't keep up with the water flow requirements. That's OK. The lawn gets crispy brown. By October it looks like a golf course again. I'm more worried about sustaining water pressure for showers and laundry than watering the stupid lawn.

You would think that with all that snow melt from late February (see photo above) and rain in March and April, the water table would be high, but we haven't had much rain in the past 90 days.

Hey pcad, since you ride so much and also run shimano ultegra. How are your bottom brackets holding up? have yoou had any trouble with it? Service? I have 2 6600 that are driving me nutz, The madone has a click and now my lightspeed has developed a clunk when out of the saddle. I am running out of bikes.

I rode the Tuesday/Thursday night group route (plus a detour over to the river) at a blazing 14.7 mph today. There is some great scenery that I've never noticed before. The Garmin said the average temp was 100.2 F*.

Going slow is ok.

My dog is really, really, bad. But he is mine and is the best dog I've ever known.

Delay: Have to send in the STUPID waiver ... 1st race will probably be next week.

Nice dog + That chicken looks really yummy. I have a Jack Russel, quite the handful.

A stupid newb question (probably). Did a search and can't search by just 2 numerals so asking here - what does 33 and 41 groups refer to that I see referenced a lot?

Remember - bike and bike culture newb.

your dog eats so healthily.

Back out of this thread, then look at the url and what do you see? That'll answer half your question.

it's how the cool kids refer to the forums.

33 = fast, cool cyclists

41 = nerdy, slow reject cyclists
