Giving credit where credit is due. Mara Abbott is about to win the women's Giro.

Anybody know where she's from?

Exactly.

Actually, I watched a program years ago that mentioned that some kind of (ground) plastic can be a suitable replacement for dietary fiber - our bodies aren't capable of digesting either, so they do a clean sweep of our digestive tract on the way through...

Such pleasant thoughts this morning...

Time to dust off the SS and do some climbing.

Enough BF jibber jabber.

My XC mtb race is tomorrow, but it is raining...will it still take place?

It's a mtb race shouldn't mud make it better?

The football outlook for this fall is looking so bad that I'm thinking about becoming a soccer fan.

Start a thread in the 33 asking them if they will ever get over themselves.

He should get danger money for an assignment like that.

Oh, and what are they going to do? Beat him up while standing in their road shoes? Ride away from him really, really fast?

If it is too muddy they don't let you use the trails.

We've all seen the TdF fight video, I'm sure. So, no physical danger.

The difference between the 33 and the 41 is that we know we're idiots. They suffer from the rather preposterous delusion that they are not. These the guys that drive hundreds of miles and then pay money to ride their bicycle for an hour or two.

The irony is somewhat overwhelming. But I am easily overwhelmed.

when some Idiot posts over 10,000 in a single thread....................................

I have seen it.

It is me.

So when the world comes to an end, I blame myself.

The buck stops with Uncle Pcad.

How do you do that function where it displays how many times losers have posted in a thread?

I just dropped the sbxx hammer on the old and weak while on the SS. Total and absolute carnage. How embarrassing for them.

Now it's time to rotisserie a chicken on the Weber, in case anyone was interested.

I fault that dude above with the chicken in his avatar.

Race was great, can't wait to sign up for the next one. Solo break at the beginning because I felt like it for whatever reason, ended with a solid pack finish (25/30 )

I feel like had I not killed myself attacking I would have placed better, but it was fine. No one would let me back into the pack so I had issues there. Met up with mike afterwards too which was cool.

Average includes my post-race lap which was slower.

That is actually VeloVol's face

well done 9 to go

??

I wanted to solo break, so I did, haha.

I like the suicide mission kid. Nice job finishing with the pack after that. In the higher Cats (even 4), you can mark the guys that attack and go with them, and maybe wind up in the break. Hell, even I was able to do that once in a while when I wasn't so old, fat and slow. Actually if I was willing to race with the 4's I might still be able to give that a whirl. Eff that action. I've had it with racing. The competent guys are too fast for me, and the ones that aren't crash too much.

You can change your max HR in the Garmin (connect) Settings>Training Zones, if you want to take advantage of HR zone training.

Thanks, I nearly got taken out by one guy. He apologized, but still was scary. Another guy got run off the road and had to ride a couple blocks on the torn up sidewalk.
