Pcad's next ride. Renshaw's bike today.

Is that said Scott S2? It doesn't look too aero.

Nobody cares what you think.

I've dropped it in the driveway three times. Zero damage. Zero injuries.

Massive embarrassment.

They misidentified it on TV today as an Addict. Those guys find amazingly diverse ways of blowing the velo play by play on a day to day basis. It is a testament to their charm and overall knowledge of the sport that those constant gaffes haven't threatened their careers.

I think it's called the F01.

Looks very aero indeed. Nice bike.

Certainly nice, but it just doesn't look as aero as an S2, not that it necessarily is supposed to. You don't love your S2 anymore do you?

The S2 is dead to me now.

Actually I rode the S2 this AM, with the Zipp 404 tubies. 47 miles. Rode like buttah.

How do you like the 7850 wheels?

Pcaddy. Stay young, Watch Jersey Shore.

They totally rock.

A lot of help this thread is. I'm going to start posting my questions in the 33.

At 2:45am it's 77F.

This is due to your massive, unmitigated and Gomerific Fredliness.

Sounds like you need to take a physics class.

If you can do it without hitting the bike directly in front of you, you might try looking further up the road and less at the wheel you are on.

you'll be perma banned within a week

i have the same problem but i know why it happens to me and i don't think it is the same solution for you. i roll faster downhill, noticeably faster and even over a very short stretch. as soon as the road starts pointing down even a bit, i'm pulling out of the draft to try to slow down and often i also have to brake.

This is due to your massive, unmitigated and Limeyocious Fredliness.

434 miles since last Friday. I may be Fredly, but I'm skinnier.

now you are skinny, you are just jealous of my extra weight aren't you?

let me modify the answer. if i'm rolling faster, I prefer to rush ahead and get on the front so i can just take advantage of the roll and not waste the momentum by braking. this means i get passed on the uphill afterwards much later on. of course the skinny bastards who draft me on the way down, don't thank me. not a word of appreciation, just the tut-tutting as they slow to wait for me to catch up at the top of the next climb. Fing ingrate road nazis.

i just found out that one of the guys who talked me into doing the ride this weekend has been training in tenerife. I mean, what kind of road nazi goes that far to train? nuts. they are nuts.
