Note that it was also a carefully chosen photo.

Whoops! Must have misread it--it was late. Sorry! Regardless, riding the TOC brakeless is still really impressive. (Also kind of silly, but whatevz).

I still don't know what TOC is :(

I did google it...

is the route really hilly? the mileage doesn't seem too terrible for pros

TMonk 02-08-12 06:08 PM

it varies every year, but they do make sure to have some monster climbs in a couple stages. Cali has some real climbing fosho.

and my "idiot" remark wasn't direct towards doing those climbs fixed (which deserves a bravo), but mainly towards riding down mountains brakeless.

no thx.

hamfoh 02-08-12 06:12 PM

yeah I assumed it had a lot of descents when you said that actually

redpear 02-08-12 06:22 PM

It is rated HC. It is hilly. Very, very hilly.

Yesterday I was sitting in the library reading and this couple (high school) comes and sits in the loveseat right next to me. They just sat there, and in mumbled tones asked each other questions.

"What classes are you taking next year?"
"I only had a couple C's..."
"What should we do?"

The last one was said more than once. Each time it was met with a short reply of about a sentence or two. One of the most awkward situations I've ever been in.

The weirdest part was they sat for a good hour and a half.

muckymucky 02-08-12 08:54 PM

they were talking to you brah. you were so mean.

Sherblock 02-08-12 08:56 PM

I could break the ice for them.

Today I: Tried to install my fenders, only to realize that the provided bolts in the fender kit (and the bolts holding my rack) are not long enough to accommodate my fenders AND my rack. So I went to Lowes to buy some new bolts. I hope they are the same thread pattern as my existing nuts. The eyelets are stripped which sucks.

And, I went to replace my cog, only to find out that it is frozen to my hub. Now I know to always grease my threads. If anyone has any ideas on how to take off a frozen cog, please provide some insight.

Today I worked on my day off. Met with purveyors, made vegetarian bone marrow, got new plugs for my ears, and put in around 25 miles. Pretty ok day.

Vegetarian bone marrow?

If it is any decent substitute for adding flavor into soups count me in.

jimmytango 02-08-12 09:41 PM

It's not a flavor thing. It's more tromp l'oeil than anything. Mushrooms and such, ya know?

jdgesus 02-08-12 09:58 PM

i'd love to cook the bones of a vegan
