Okay so I have a few things on my list, help me decide which to go for:

Zipp 404 rims laced to ultegra hubs

or

Specialized Crux Expert Carbon 2011

or

Specialized Crux Comp aluminumin 2011 and Powertap on Open Pro.

Any of the above will be raced. I think I'll go for the Carbon crux probably.

On occasion. Hey, let's face it, when you're a big Box Office Draw, you can get away with anything.

Just ask Mel Gibson.

My fingers hurt.

C'Mon now...

Planning 2+ laps at Fountain Head tomorrow morning. The heat will surely motivate me to hurry the hell up...

I've not been there before.

Does anyone else here feel uncomfortable with shaved legs? I feel more comfortable with cyclists, fine with two of my friends, and the others I won't wear shorts around.

I'm probably just an over self conscious teenager, but whatever.

Everyone knows if you shave your legs you are gay. No exceptions. Even if you have a girlfriend.

Schwinn Homegrown hardtail. Great bike, but I can always buy a new MTB if I moved somewhere that had easier trail access. It's most an issue of space. I've got 3 bikes right now in my bedroom.

New Planet-X Exocet tri bike.

Hmmmm. Shave my legs to fit in with a small group of guys, or don't shave to fit in with society. That is a tough one. Well, you could always just do what you want and not give a crap what any group thinks.

Hey pCad, do you shave your legs, and if so, what does your neighbor think of it?

I missed the parody thread. Too bad. Did it get ugly? And how do you know when you get points, do they tell you?

Near Lorton off of Rt. #123...

Technical, with some vicious hills. Only about 7 miles per lap, but 1 lap there feels almost like 20 miles tooling around Wakefield/Accotink...

I've heard of it and want to get out there, just don't have an easy way to get there.

MMMM. Bowl of life + freshly cooked berries. Delicious.

Now I want to get some new bar tape. Color suggestion?

My weather sensor is now predicting a high tomorrow of 102, with a heat index of 108. Going to get up early to get in 60 miles on the bike.

One by one, all the Addiction thread posters--save Velo Vol--quietly succumbed to the wussiness plague that was ravaging BikeForums.

This one perhaps? None for you vol.

That double colored fizik stuff is gross.

The problem is that your bike is grey and blue. Those TCR's are sexy bikes, but that is a fugly paint combination, and you can't really get anything to "match" it.

It's a carbon defy, and thanks for the insult. :notamused:

Why so many elitist? Goddamn.

You think you're like the Jens Voigt of BF now, don't you?:rolleyes:

I hope to be on the trail in the woods by 7:30 at the latest...

Hey, I ride a freakin Scattante, so I know something about ugly. You'll get over it.

If you're going to use the Fizik Dual, then I vote this one:

You can't succumb if you lead.

Right. Pick me up some black instead.

I'm a black tape kind of person.
