Bike Forums - Addiction I

I'd be a great descender in the TdF.

I am stupid, and fearless. And I understand bicycle and motorcycle handling enough to pick the right line. The key is to relax. REfrigginLAX you stupid Freds.

Synvisc injection #2 tonight. Those shots are odd. First one didn't hurt at all. This one hurt like a motherfarger. Depends on whether he hits a nerve I suppose. But he always gets the drug into the joint capsule, and I feel the positive effects immediately. Those shots are like a miracle drug for me.

Bob Roll just made the observation that 'bike racers are dumb, but they're not that dumb'. He should visit the 33 some time.

There should be a thread of best Bob Roll quotes.... just heard his reply to the question, What makes a good descender? "Balance......and, ah.. um.... knowing the descent."

The guy is brilliant.

or you could go with Esquire's take...

See, Roll's appeal can be distilled down to one singular trait: He is positively terrible, a man whose mouth has no filter and whose body showcases more physical tics than a bloodhound lost in the woods. But he is so terrible -- so unprofessional, so individual, so bewildering -- that he's become one of the funniest and most authentic color men working today.

Hey Pcad,

Why don't you try this?

Open up your BikeForums password for a couple days--we'll see what happens. Do it in the interest of social science.

It's either I'm more aero than all the Road Nazis or heavier. I think it's the latter.

Not for nothing, but when you Freds drop your chain on Mt. Doom, I'm not waiting for you idiots either.

I have a Cadbury chocolate bar in mine.

So it goes.

A friend of mine just got back from Turkey and England. I asked for one thing: Flake bars. He brought me one. I savored it, literally ate it over half an hour. Good stuff.

Nice little recovery ride today. Took it slow, easy. Did another 10 hard miles during my lunch break but forgot the garmin on my desk.

Decided to throw a couple sprints in, but I couldn't get them to where they usually are.

You see the speed/hr/cadence spikes on the charts, but it says (you can see it on splits) that I got the final sprint up to 32.5. Usually I can do about 36.

I just popped in over there. I was the only person. I think I heard crickets.

The guys in the 33 are arguing about if a certain rider in today's stage did the right thing.

First, they say he should have because it would have been the honorable thing to do, would have been classy.

Then they argue that as low life racers themselves, they wouldn't have.

But we all know that as Freds, we would have.

Does that mean we are more honorable and classy?

Gullible

Well that sucks. Got home from Oregon today, shot home, kitted up, and hit the street. 5 miles in I got a Charlie horse in my right guad, OH EFF ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I worked it for a while and it started to loosen up. Then the other side lit up. Cripes! I cant even walk right now. This blows. I guess I should do a longer warm up after a week long absence from riding.
