Bike Forums - Addiction XIX

If there is an Addiction TT, I am in. It would have to be a climbing one though, as I don't know a stretch of road that meets the previous dead flat criteria. Oh, and it would have to be in warmer weather.

We had one a couple of years ago. http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...ight=addiction

I beat coasting. :)

As you would expect, there were lots of shenanigans. We were also infiltrated by the 33. It was much fun. I'll try to dig up the old link

This was talked about 6 or 7 months ago, and that linked splashed up. I compared it to my 25 mile loop, which I considered flat, but the garmin says it has 600 or so feet of up and down. Looks like a fun idea. I could actually use mr. rjones28 loop. Hey, how about team TT? :D

Going to be a bit chilly for the ride this evening, supposed to be 31 degrees. Wouldn't be so bad but all I brought was shorts. :o

I start with the leg warmers when temps drop below 60ºF.

No. But it's how we describe cheating in Addiction.

I have my butler do that.

Time to put on my snow tyres!

Questions:

(1) Where does one get snow tyres?

(2) How does one put them on?
