A lot of chatter about a bike you've never ridden and might not buy.

300 posts later, the Cervelo Kool-Aid isn't for everyone.

I've been on a friend's 2009 S2, which is a 48. I'm not worried about not liking the bike.

Maybe she sent Pcad one to join his fan club?

You forgot to call me toots this time.

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

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

Not art. Long, sad story.

Crash, is your position part of original enlistment, or is this a carry over?

Also, I know you probably wouldn't say so, but I think it takes big ones to do what you do. It's appreciated.

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...

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!

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?

Velo Vol 08-03-10 12:20 PM

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