Too fancy/dbagy. I'd want it a lot more relaxed.

Today I got out for a fun 50 miles then cleaned the 930, it got a "little" dirty.

I would definitely eat at a place that specializes in grilled cheese.

Today I crossed the line between tough and stupid.

I, along with some fellow Wolfpack dudes, climbed Mt. Baldy. Some highlights:

-7 miles in: Hail.
-Avg temp: 39*F. Lows in the mid 20s.
-Freezing rain
-Snow
-Ice
-PITCH BLACK DESCENTS WITHOUT LIGHTS. "Yeah dude, we'll get back before dark."
-Getting picked up by a random Mexican family on the way down... in the dark... after flagging them down and asking them if we could follow them down the mountain using their headlights for ~4 miles.
-Did I mention it was ****ing cold?

I saw the strava on the BF team page, figured it had to be pretty insane!

Was this with LA Wolfpack people or friends from SF?

I once rode down from the highest point in Alta Dena during Christmas and my my body was going numb. I just didnt think I would need to wear anymore stuff than I did and I paid for it.

jdgesus 01-07-13 11:33 AM

jdgesus 01-07-13 11:33 AM

If his wife's nickname was Mt. Baldy, you knew way too much about her grooming habits.

Jandro, I am envious of you. :thumb:

Today I nearly got hit on the dmr. Idiot went and parked in a no parking zone and literally dived right in front of me. Disc brakes for the win.

Leukybear 01-07-13 05:23 PM

Today I was sent these pics by a friend of mine. The thruster has gotten classy. Time to sell those deep v's. If you're worried about the wheelsets, tell tale difference is they're drilled for a schrader valve.

installed 800mm bars, stylo OCT GXP cranks and e13 chain guard/tensioner on my XTC NRS3

Just got home from a walk to the grocery store/Dicks sporting goods. Ended up buying myself a new pair of shoes since indoor soccer is coming up real soon. Also found a windbreaker that has removable sleeves over by the bikes. For $50 I'm really considering it. Only wonky thing is that the sleeves attach/detach by magnets all around, and the back of the sleeves are connected all the way across so that both are basically one piece that comes off.

What is it with lime green these days? Blech.
