how does one get to that posts by thread page? (besides looking at the linky velo posted)

Vol - what's your bike status? Did you finally take it to the LBS?

n idea. that's a skill only the special people have.

You forgot to call me toots this time.

Just go to the page that shows the threads and click on the post count number.

Is your avatar a play on that saying about the pile of women, or is it art, or something else?

8 other guys thinking, should I do it?

I don't get it. The site must be counting all your survivalist posts from P&R.

Not art. Long, sad story.

My position in the navy, the rescue swimmer part was my original enlistment. My current job as the Navy Search and Rescue Model Manager (in charge of people that do my job) i was kinda recruited to.

Thank you for the kind words and support, but i think as with anything, if you do it long enough or are forced to get yourself into crazy situations you get used to it and it just becomes simple and mundane. The Navy does a great job of dumbing things down in the beginning so it all becomes a very easy process to get from point a to b.

I took it for help, though not exactly to the bike shop. I saw BikeForumsite ptle at the outdoors center @ UT where they have bike stands and tools.

It's running now, though I need to put the bar tape back on.

Brandy doesn't really ride road much anymore, she is more into, every once and a while MTB...

He wasn't talkin' to you toots.

I have taken the bait.

as a Navy rescue swimmer type do you make fun of Coast Guard guys? I've heard them called Puddle Pirates.

PS - as an idiot who sails plastic boats in the ocean, thanks to you as well as the Puddle Pirates.

UPS tracking still shows tomorrow. Yea!

we do make fun of the coast guard...But they rescue swimmers are legit..those guys are hardcore.

a 48cm?...you aren't going to be very good to draft behind when i come out there.

so what are you going to do with this bike? race? travel in Europe? Ironman? Display on the coffee table?

Have you thought about matching kit?

I need a rescue swimmer on standby when I go to the pool.

well, it's the Violet as far as the nickname is concerned, but i think the mascot is a bobcat. their kit was violet, though

i think it's the popular thing to do when you are a private university in the northeast. as such the mascot for the hahvahd crimson is the cantabrigian (most of you will say, wtf is that) and the mascot for the cornell big red is a bear. rather pathetic names and mascots compared to the one below, which copycatters in many places have adopted as their mascot

I'll be drafting then.

Enjoy myself. Group rides. TRI. Race at some point in the future. If it were on my coffee table it would block the TV.

What's the kit? The outfit?

yes the kit is your teams outfit basically...

i think i should draft...i am slow, i just ride nice stuff...besides i race already, you need to get stronger = you lead.

The men's cycling stuff is just too big on me.

I race with the guy who commissioned and was Capt. of this thing.

Before he retired, he brought it out here and came up the Chesapeake while we sailed along side streaming the colors (various beach cats). Other than a few cop like weenies on the inflatables in San Francisco Bay, most Puddle Pirates seem ok to me.
