+1. But it is WAY better than Adam Carolla's "The Car Show". I've liked Adam Carolla ever since "The Man Show", but "The Car Show" is just bad. He is pretty funny, but the show is no good.

I ask my wife or father to drive the car and take me to some competitions out of the city. Or I take a bus. Because I can't drive.

When I started climbing with a road bike I didn't notice that a 39x23 was stupidly heavy for me (still) and I stopped so many times faking a tire check or something like that.

I climb with 39x27.

My carbon handlebar is from flyxii.

My wife knows how much it costs my road bike and everything I buy.

I've spent more time on BF this year than I have on my bike.

I've turned into one of those old guys who takes great pleasure in making the college racers hurt.

I should have at least test rode the Scott S30 from the LBS with the condescending sales-punk before buying the Felt Z85 from a different shop.

ditto. i don't know what i'm going to do yet when winter rolls around and i won't be able to ride to work.

I confess that I forgot to switch my pump from one bike to the other for my ride yesterday...and of course, I flatted. I had to flag down a group and borrow a pump. Yes...I have two pumps...but i'm waiting for a repair part and currently share between my two bikes.

When I installed my new Arione last fall I made sure it was perfectly level, and I torqued it to specifications. Just noticed this afternoon it was several degrees nose up. Obviously I'm too fat for my bike.

I did this while recently in the US to read on the plan. What a garbage magzine Ride Australia is about 490723498623498x better.

Heck, I'm so old and decrepit I like to crush the seventh grader's souls. I really enjoy giving 'em "the look"...

EDIT: After I posted this I realized that my confession was not complete.

The approximate seventh graders are on BMX bikes and I don't think they understood I had just crushed their souls. Plus when I gave 'em "the look" one of them gave me "the finger."

<cough, cough> CO2

I hammered the MS Bike Ride.

Two days in a row.

And counted the number of bikes at the finish when I arrived.

I have a bunch of spacers under the stem of my road bike. I also have a meters of development chart taped to the stem.

EDIT: I forgot my best confession:

Here's an embarrassing confession. The other day I noticed a strange clicking noise and couldn't figure out where it was coming from. When I got back from my ride, while in the driveway I unclipped one foot and was bouncing on the crank with the other foot, trying to figure out if it was the crank, the headset, what was making the noise. Well my body weight shifted a bit more to the right than I was planning on and I fell over and put a number of scratches on the bike components (RD, pedal, saddle, brake lever).

At least I'll be constantly reminded of my stupidity when I see the scratches.

I'll probably try to make up a good story incase anyone asks what happened to my saddle (which took the worst of it).

bought my helmet in 07 finally took the time to get the straps "just right". What a process, had to take all the buckles off and re-lace it so it wasn't all twisted.

Wearing spandex makes me feel pretty until I sweat and then I feel naughty.......................

I admit, I have hairy legs. I am not fast enough to have shaved legs.

Also, I bought a Specialized saddle bag today. but it's not on the bike.

I want to get faster, but I can't get organized enough to do intervals.

I like Kool Aid and popcorn gives me gas.

Im too fat for this sport, and I wear cycling jerseys in secret.

I went to Chipotle today. Burrito + Chips + Guacamole = MMM.Azing

I desperately want to start doing triathalons, but I can't manage to fit the swimming into my schedule.

There were strange rubber plugs in the braze-ons for a second bottle cage on my bike. They were pretty much completely melded with the frame (I got it from my boss, who said it had been sitting in her garage for about 10 years) so I cut off the caps with a knife, and then poked the stems through so they fell into the tube of the frame.

Now when my friends ask me what that strange pinging is when I ride I ask "What pinging?"

I suppose someday I won't be lazy and will actually take the seatpost off and shake my bicycle upside down until the stems come out, but I'm not seeing it happening in the near future.

I was glad I had a 30/28 gear available on today's ride.
