Bike Forums - Addiction I

Schleck's post ride interview was pretty impressive. There was a level of sportsmanship in today's stage you rarely see in professional sports these days.

Did one in June. A guy in the wave in front of me went out with a kickboard strapped to his ankle so that he had his own flotation device if had he problems. That's just stupid and dangerous. I hope he got DQ'd, but never heard.

I've thought about bike racing, but decided I'm not committed enough to be the type of guy to race every week. I like doing my own thing, so having that sort of schedule and being on a team is just too much for me.

6". Yikes. :eek:

This isn't a very tight paceline in the back (where I was). The rotation breaks down, people pass in both lanes, people ride off center and/or between the lanes.

It doesn't help when you're not completely sure what the rider in front of you or beside you may do next.

I just learned more about dew point in another thread. A rarity around here.

75F dew point this evening. A few times my sunglasses started to fog up.

As if all the sweat wasn't bad enough . . . .

Brett Favre has gotten fat.

For a modest fee I'll accept him at Camp Velo Vol and take care of that before the season starts.

This thread will soon pass a popular thread started in 2003. Remarkable how much time we have to do this instead of riding our bikes.

I may or may not have the infection, but I've added it to the quiver of excuses. Do antibiotics make you slower? (there's another one).

Yeah, I had it a while ago. If you got it quick it shouldn't be a problem. I didn't get mine real quick -- you get achy joints and feel like you have a flu, if you don't get it quick.
