Just a few miles kind of sucks though.
But, I agree. Sometimes taking it easy is the best plan.

I went for a ride and for the third time I have gotten a flat within a few miles from home. First time I blamed the rotten Conti 4000s', next time I figured I pinched it as I had it off between rides. This time, I really looked. Hairline crack in the rim, and I must have to hit a bump just right, as each time I have gotten a flat, I continued on with no issue. Today, I went straight home.
I'm painting the porch instead.

Give me a break. They call it a joke.
What's the matter? Does not saying anything positive mean I didn't smooch Heathpack's butt like you guys do from morning til night? Didn't say one of the secret words like Mmmmm or Yummmm? Make no mistake. If one of your several Addiction buds had said the same thing, you all would be yukking it up right now. It's like you guys never left the jock table at Junior High School. Outsiders need not apply.
If you cared to ever participate in a real thread, one with a purpose, you would see I have been saying quite a lot positive, albeit to folks who can appreciate it. But don't bother. I'll come by here now and again to give you a sampling of both my wit and my wisdom.

Race today up in PA near Lancaster. It started raining as we rolled out and stopped when we finished, it was chilly and the roads featured plenty of wet slippery horse poo (much of which is now on my kit and bike).
I had a great time.

Who doesn't love a pony? How could anyone not love a pony?

Very few posts by me this week-long hours at work. Also in a conundrum as to ride or not, having more pain in my hip, thinking my body is saying slow down rather than HTFU. So hard for me to objectively evaluate my plan of action. I want to ride, I need to ride, but....!
I am not riding now either, chest/ribs pain, and I tried to push through it last week and it just sucked. Some pains are good and can be ridden through, some can't. I could be wrong, but I think sometimes HTFU is about being hard enough to NOT ride, even though your soul wants to.

Stoney, when you were on the old hip, I suggested riding. On the new hip, I wouldn't.

Mrs LAJ will be happy.
I know, right? Nonsense. Today is the first day that there is an absolute guaranty of no rain.
Good thought. I'm pretty sure Mrs. LAJ will be happy when she sees the porch.
See above.

I am trying to figure out why Velo Vol or Heathpack failed to post on page 80. Well at least one of them posted on the other 106 pages. That is incredible!! Well done and they have my vote for ADDICTS OF THE MONTH!!!

I know that ride, only it was more farmland/cow poo. New Years Day Century was just that. It wasn't a race, so you get more points, Herbie.

Listen, PM me and I'll provide detailed instructions, including some classified pro tips. It's easy, really. No charge for bona fide addictionites.
Not the lurkers, though . . . one must have at least 4 posts in this month to qualify.
Don't forget to include the rest of the walking wounded gimp squad, Pcad and LAJ. And now RUOkie.
