So I have come to realize that I harbor the delusion that a disturbingly gaunt build and appearance means that I am superior to the rest of the world. What's wrong with me?



Discuss.

One century I did in 6:15-6:20 range a couple times and about 6:50 one time where it was raining part of the way.

Along the route, not my video.

I have a pretty good idea, but I want to hear your Fred analysis.

I just talked to your dentist about your new fillings.
One has cocaine, one has morphine and the last has Viagra.

hey vol..why aren't you racing? hecklar races and he is in my ballpark.

Gaunt is an adjective that describes a living thing as being bony, thin and/or sickly. It may be used to describe a barren deserted place. "Gaunt" may also refer to people, places or fictional characters.

Hey, it works for runners and supermodels too. Nothing wrong with that.

Pcad says racing is pointless.

Here's the trick... You "ARE" superior to most, however, you don't "APPEAR" to be superior. You just apear to be guant, skeletal, emaciated, and underfed.

Simple as that.

i like those vids.

I'd skip it.

groan.

Ba dum bum.


Serious answer: Skipping rope is supposed to be a good cardio workout.

I want to be 168 so my wife and others think I'm too skinny. That will cause people to remark at my skinniness, which I will then use as fuel to lose even more weight. In the end, I hope this weight loss will improve my climbing, but since I'm not 168, there is no way of knowing for certain. If it doesn't, I'll still have the quiet jubilation that as others around me get fatter, I'm getting skinnier.

I have a buddy who runs the Leadville 100 each year and regularly places in the top three of his age category. He was at my house on the deck a few weeks ago and as the temperature fell to 70 degrees, he started to shiver. That might be too skinny.

Looks good to me...

It's a nice century. 2000 riders. Some nice flat stretches (flatter than here) but also the three mountains of varying difficulty (easy medium difficult).

I registered to ride in 2009 but didn't drive down there because the radar looked bad.

The cloudy, wet video really doesn't do the scenery justice.

Nothing is ever simple on the 41.


By the way, I ate a Roast Beef sandwich at about 2PM. So now I'm all set until Thursday you friggin Fred lunchmuffin losers.

how much climbing? I've never done a long climbing ride and even the one i just did was lots of repeated rolling hills rather than sustained climb. i think i would prefer sustained climb so you can just get into a routine and grind away. a roller coaster type terrain just gives you no time to recover before another sharp climb.

2,000? that must be so disruptive. the residents must hate you.

Fixed for accuracy on the 41.

My bike race pal and his girlfriend (soon to be wife) just had a baby boy. 7lbs. 10oz.

I did tell him that he is already too fat for this sport.

There's not any long climbs:

What makes the last mountain even tougher is that it comes 80 miles into the ride, and it can be warm if the sun is out and/or it's humid.

But it's not a long, grueling climb. Most people stop to catch their breath at the rest area right before the climb. Either you have enough strength to keep pedaling all the way to the top, or you end up walking for a bit.

The police block off the roads downtown near the start and there's some stationed at major intersections for several miles. Once you get past the first mountain, though, it's rural enough and the cyclists are spread out enough that there's not much interference in normal traffic (other than the fact that there are cyclists present).

The first or second year I did it some idiots scattered some tacks on the road coming off the first mountain. I'm guessing they didn't like cyclists.

i saw this earlier today but couldn't think of a suitably dumb place to post it. i should have known tis thread would fit the bill.

Pcad!

Post your times.

How long is the loop?
