Quite messing around, I want some hard numbers VV and coasting!

My HDLs went down with weight and exercise so go figure.

Why? No worries there's like a 50% divorce rate and we're as close as two people can be still. Besides, I'm getting married in October.

Bring it. Close this thread. Ban me.

Don't tempt me. :D

Good one.

I don't have it here in front of me. I think it was 36 mg/dL the last test several months ago. The previous time it was even lower.

My LDL number has always been fine, but the HDL needs help.

[youthful optimisim]50% means that half of people make it! [/youthful optimism]

Well good luck on round 2. Glad to hear it was civil and all. (isodorah sounds like a keeper based on your previous comments and your collection of bike crap)

Actually it was a race where only like 18 people showed up for all the races so they combined them into one race. I was trying to bridge to a three man break and couldn't get a witness, so I went alone. Never caught them. You never caught me. I finished 4th, less than 100 meters in front of the field sprint. Trust me on this. I don't get into the top 5 in races very often, as you know.

Besides, my ever increasing gauntness is only further chiseling my matinee idol looks. You know this, and it kills you.

I would prefer a spirited game of Scrabble. I may be a Cat 4 on the road, but I am a Cat 1 @ Scrabble.

It rained a bit earlier in the afternoon--just enough to wet the ground and jack up the humidity.

I finished the ride drenched in sweat. But that's what happens when you lay down an impressive time in a Boulevard de Freds "time trial," as I did.

Hey, slothlike just started a bike thread with a double play on the bike's name in the title.

I have a hunch it could run 500 pages.

I got a cool Shimano XTR shirt for free today. I also got a Shimano Dyna-sys 10 speed hat earlier this month.

patentcad 07-20-10 07:45 PM

I need a vacation.

I'm thinking Greece and take the bicycle.

Notice the color choice for the stem.

That's just embarrassing.

If you are dense and needed another reason why Jens Voigt is the coolest dude in the peleton, look no further:

So then the broom wagon pulled up and was like, “Do you want to just get in?” And I said, “Oh no, I don’t need YOU!” But there I am with blood spurting out my left elbow and no bike. Finally, the race organizers got me a bike, but it was this little yellow junior bike. It was way too small for me and even had old-fashioned toe-clip pedals. But that is the only way I could get down the mountain, so I had to ride it for like 15-20 kilometers until I finally got to a team car with my bike.

Jens is the friggin MAN.

mzeffex 07-20-10 08:35 PM

That's pretty funny about the little bike.

I rode my backup bike with the aero bar clip-ons today 34 min 20 km effort for 21.9 mph...those damn aerobars seem to work somewhat. Unfortanatly I am still very slow compared to the local TT guys. I imagine if I rode it more I could do better, but not the 25+ some guys do.

He's my HTFU idol!

I'm going to do some sprint work outs tomorrow. Going to a flat stretch of road with no lights or stop signs, no turns. Perfect. I guess I'll just sprint down, coast back, repeat. It's like 7/10 of a mile I think.

under18cyclists 07-20-10 09:05 PM

I get my permit monday!

sbxx1985 07-20-10 09:05 PM

How do you respond to the poor BF kid who's shaft has gone numb?

You three should go talk to him and cheer him up.
