Post your times.

How long is the loop?

About 6 miles. I only race there. I wouldn't go there to ride or train.

patentcad 07-13-10 04:12 PM

In a race averaging 25 mph or so, you do that loop in about 15 minutes. I'm reasonably confident a really fast guy on a TT bike could do that loop in closer to 12 mins.

I'm not a really fast guy on any bike.

After I'm gone, will BF remember me with the affection and accolades being showered upon the late Mr. Steinbrenner?

not true. I meant I had bet on you finishing in 7:45 not that that is what I would do.

I only live in a flat area and have only done 2 100+ milers. first wast like 5:40 and the second about 5:15.

These were both MS rides with some solo and some draft. On a planned ride with other firepower not filled with fred obstacles it would be faster...but again I have no idea how the elevation would stunt my time.

My friend just had a baby born at 1 lb 11oz. Good for cycling maybe, but we were worried for a while. It is a bad situation, but the baby is a hair over 3 lbs now (8 weeks later) so doing much better.

PSA don't drink when pregnant.


I love those elevation profiles. I feel like they should show gradient profiles instead as they would be much more interesting to me and informative overall.

I bet the suspense to find out is killing you.

I had to punch yet another new hole in my belt this morning... however, after this evening's workout, I'm fairly certain almost no one is effed.

Herbie53 07-13-10 05:51 PM

I think I count some 50ish posts between midnight and 1AM this morning.

For being about so little this thread sure says a lot.

Velo Vol 07-13-10 05:51 PM

It's too bad BikeForums doesn't allow sockpuppets.

I could set up another account, wow everyone with my witty and insightful posts, and then surprise all my new fans with my real identity.

Discuss.

You are a cyclist. the end.

Yeah, but you don't clean up as well as "Karen".

It would be a suprise all right.

"Vuzuzela's suck..when they keep you up all night......The Dutch were robbed by the referee's the Spaniards had better actors, .....soccer sucks." - near quote, Bob Roll on his rest day during the TdF coverage.

I appreciate his candor.

patentcad 07-13-10 07:16 PM

Well Bobke is right about one thing, soccer does suck.

patentcad 07-13-10 07:23 PM

I view this thread like the lead peloton on a major TdF climb. It's important to keep Pcad, the 41 Team Leader, at the front of the race. His minions (Gomer, etc.) do the pulling, while Pcad sits in with one team mate behind him (probably that idiot kid Razor).

Quel 07-13-10 07:37 PM

What kind of analogy has a fat ass like pcad climbing well? This makes no sense.

Edit: you can say "fat ass", but if you remove the space it gets censored. Huh.

Herbie53 07-13-10 07:47 PM

Have yute guys seen this angle of Armstrong's stage 8 crashy. First 5 seconds of the video is him skidding on his back, followed shortly by the peloton going by at 60kph. Pretty freggin' amazing he got up and went up the hill.

I'm going on a solo breakaway unless my demands are met.

Why does CNN have a segment entitled "Forgetting Haiti"? Why the all the fuss?

Come someday before August 14th. Everyone besides like 10 Cat 1s and 2s get dropped.

You know anything about the GVCC? I'm thinking of joining since I get a free membership since I'm a junior.

Good stage today!

The fact that the World Cup is over is just hitting me :(
