Bike Forums - Addiction I

Took 3rd in a Crit tonight ( 3/14 ) ... Not too Damn Bad for a Fred! The 2 guys in front of me kicked my azz though! Was a 30Min race ( 20 lap or so - Unknown mileage)

I am able to not touch my brakes through a corner now. Took half the race for me to get ok with it. :D

Found out what it is like to over cook a corner too. Nothing but ego loss there.. :lol:

Real crit? Link to race.

You have to do a tri before it's a tri bike.

Specialized Crux. Red white and black, internal cables, bright green bar tape + cables. That's right. Cross is such a fun sport I have to have a fun bike. Specialized says the frame will be available late August - I hope that's right.

I've come to the conclusion that my PowerTap is female.

She keeps telling me that I'm only good for a few thrusts and that my stamina sucks.

I love her anyway.

Tomarrow MIGHT be a rest day. But might take out the 1400 and see how good it is. I think its heavy.... But that might be the frame shifters....

Downtube shifters weigh a lot less than STIs.

So stop putting money into your bikes and start entering races.... after all, it's the engine, not the bike.

Only the 2nd girl to post here in over 500 pages, and these guys are still fascinated by sausage talk. Fascinating. And pathetic.

How'd you break your wrist Holly?

Once i get a job i can race. My parents put an end to my racing without a job.

Why can't you get a job? Criminal record?

Oh wait, let me guess. You don't interview well.
