i have been wasting time too but no hulu.
bout to hit up bay area for five days with tourbiek

yummygooey 12-30-11 02:04 AM

Solo?

Anything more than an hour long ride and I really prefer to ride with another person, even if the ride is in silence.

cc700 12-30-11 02:12 AM

oh i'm not biking down there. driving down with bike on rack. it would take my slow ass waaay more than five days to get there and back.


hopefully this summer i will do some epic tours in eastern wa, montana, maybe napa, and oregon.

but... well... that's kind of up in the air.

They always are. My Peugeot was only supposed to cost me $100 to refurb. That was about $300 ago.

Spent $100 on a HR monitor, $50 on a mechanic's ratchet set, then an unexpected $450 to get my truck registered (I was expecting $250 TOPS). Then my road bike tire decided to develop a big ole bulb-like growth in the sidewall (during the most important 2-week period of training for the 2012 season), feels like it could pop any minute. I just posted a message on my team's bulletin board asking if anyone had a spare tire. They probably think I'm a junkie or something... lol.

$450 ???? Dang. I hope you get at least 2 year tags for that!

11 months, actually. It was because I had to buy a whole new tag, I guess. Some counties are more expensive than others.

Meanwhile, in the road forum: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...es-and-Watches

I really try (occasionally) to post over there. We just come from different worlds.

I really, really want to take a few weeks off from work this summer to bike in the mountains. I was thinking Colorado, but I have a potential place to sleep in Oregon. One of the few perks of being a kitchen manager.. (unpaid) vacations.

Job feeds biking habit (and me).

I've said it once, and i'll say it again: post in the 33. You have teammates (technically club mates?) over there.
Although you may be new to racing, you might find yourself to be more like-minded to folk over there than the layman roadie.

The 41 sucks.

OK OK I'll admit it... I have absolutely no grasp of the number system in these here forums. I don't know what 33 or 41 means. >.<

LesterOfPuppets 12-30-11 12:22 PM

33 = Road Racing
41 = Road Cycling

hairnet 12-30-11 12:22 PM

33 is the rracing racing forum
41 is the road cycling forum

edit: oh snap

TMonk 12-30-11 12:24 PM

33 = road bike racing
41 = road cycling

Didn't come out at all like I expected. I was hoping for a raised, rubbery finished. I might as well have used spray paint. Also, massive overspray because of the wind. I need a garage.

hairnet 12-30-11 01:16 PM

looks good

striknein 12-30-11 01:23 PM

I have ideas for the next one. I think I'll setup some sort of rig to stretch the fabric, and I'm going to use a LOT more tape to affix the stencil. Oh, and not spray outdoors.

hairnet 12-30-11 01:25 PM

I kind of like overspray with these things

jdgesus 12-30-11 01:28 PM
