Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

When I'm 165 lbs you'll eat these words Gomer. I will however coat them with BBQ Sauce to make it easier for your Gomer sensibilities.

You don't say anything about suffering on the bike. Did your recent illness leave you wimpy?

Fat, weak, out of shape, a combination of letting my health and lifestyle slide as a I worked my ass off over the past six months and then got sick. Suffering? I've been suffering on the bike for weeks. The TT ride yesterday? That was more fun than suffering. I once told this guy Earl (local Brooklyn NY racer dude) that I thought racing was hard. His comeback has stayed with me lo these 15+ years.

Pcad: 'Racing is hard'

Earl: 'Racing is fun. Training is hard'.


If you do it right, that's how it should be. So I've been suffering on the bike quite a bit lately, but it seems to have paid off a little after several weeks. That's nice.

My wife hasn't been on a bicycle in years. Your reading comprehension is even worse than your questionable taste in motorcycles.

Actual TT bikes are pretty fast. When I compare my times on the TT bike to guys who are clearly faster than me in TT's where they are in the 'Cannibal' division (regular road bikes on the same course) I routinely beat guys who I KNOW are faster than I am. I think the TT bike gives you 1.5-2 mph on most course profiles. I think my time on that same course yesterday would be 21-21.5 mph tops on a regular road bicycle.

That is all.
I do covet your bikes a little, but I am stranded in the desert with no bike at the moment.

You would crash if you attempted the technical demands of my Fred TT course riding a TT bike.

Dave Freifelder, is he the Cat 1 NJ crit champ? If so, he had no problem hanging with the Pros at Somerville.

No. Ryan pettit is current NJ crit champ. While he is a beast he doesn't TT much.

My LBS just got this in....oh and your slipping..my reading is fine I was trying to tie in your m/c ride with Mrs.Pcad with this one. Oh forget it, it's more technical than VG, figuring out where to place her next popcorn bucket...

Does your estimate apply to all road profiles? I have yet seen any1 on a TT/Tri bike go up a cat3 or steeper climb.

He consistently finishes 1st or 2nd in any TT in NJ he participates in. K. Lundgren (another pal of mine) is the current TT champ. Ken is a Cat 2, I do think Dave is a 1, although he may also be a Cat 2.
