Well put, but that is everyone's first reaction to real food after eating clif bars...

once you get east of worcester there is like a palpable change in the atmosphere. everyone out there seems like they got something to prove.

what... no link?!

icesoap? lol

Whats that supposed to mean? Like 3 in the last 3 days?

Man that joke stopped being relevant about 14 hours ago. Try a little harder.

Right now it's all about waiting for that poor guy's 20-day constipation marathon to end.

Yup. Still behind jegesus through who's 4 for 4. BUT lo and behold we have the weekend! And then back to work :mad:
Well I can still ride at night through as it's summer and I only have to staff 1 session each day at work and grading can be BS'd anytime.

Who dares me to do them consecutively? :lol:

1 vote for Leuky doing consecutive metric centuries

In my day, I had a 100 free time of 51.50 in shortcourse yards. I did it at the district championships, it was my last even of the year so I just kind of went all out for all four laps. My arms felt like they were covered in cement for the last lap but it broke my highschool's record (we sucked at every sport though)

Wow, I can see you clearly do not give a damn about my well being....

And what if I don't? :innocent:

Today I read that the Leader Kagero frameset will cost $800.

Is it:

A. "Overpriced"

B. Hand-made and "totally worth it bro"

???

Today I went on my first "Critical Mass Ride," although it only lasted about an hour an a half and went about 11 miles. I ended up doing around 23 miles today after my new lights and computer came in.

Today I decided that I want to build the bianchi back up.

word that guy needs to man up, any heroin user worth his salt has gone two weeks without a **** haha

Nice! Breaking records always outweighs the pain. Last time I did a yards 100 free I was time trial'ing it, trying to get on the A team for my college's NCAA team. Knew I wasn't fast enough but tried anyways. Went 45.08 and my coach just told me I was slow =[. I actually ended up on that relay anyways because most of the sprinters didn't make the meet but I made it in 200 fly and the medley relays.


Today I went to a waterpark with my girlfriend.

Wow thats impressive.

That's about as many miles as I get in a 5-day riding week (unless it is a race or rest week) and I have been primarily of the road-racing persuasion for more than a few years tho.

I can probably count on one hand the amount of times I have ridden >or= 60mi. on a fixed.

:thumb:.

I still own a fg and ride it occasionaly (almost 1/week, more during the winter) and so my post counts and I still get to post here lol.

Infact I took it out for about 2.5 hours today. However many miles that was I do not know. These days it's only a hr monitor and a stopwatch/clock to track effort and time, no cycle computer as speed/distance is pretty meaningless.

If you have done 3 metrics you know that it isn't that hard to ride 60 miles... if you have about 4 hours in a day to spare.

When I spend a week commuting to and from the frame shop I will ride 500 km and then ride more as I live a car free life and have often tossed in a full century on an off day to give me weeks of 700 plus km.

If you have ever toured 100 km a day is a pretty light pace.

Aha it's nothing really to me considering the stuff and pace I do on my roadie which I happen to be in between builds with. Last nights ride was nothing; gotta love natural cooling.

Time is the primary issue here really.... and probably my knees; started using my front brake more to spare the brunt.

I'm getting ready for back-to-back centuries this weekend with camping in the middle. The riding will be slow with and with a sag wagon but I haven't ridden a century in quite a while, let alone a second the following morning. I have been preparing the whole day and debating whether I should go fixed or geared, but going fixed just seems dumb at this point.

Oh, and I really do have the most Jewish family. I mentioned the trip at shabbat dinner and I was forced to take enough food to feed an army. My aunt and grandmother just got mad at me when I told them I have enough. :)

Have ridden many metrics on my fg and many of those have been back to back to back and many full centuries on the fg with a fair amount of gear and would say that if you are packing a lot of gear having a few extra gears is a good thing... especially if it has been a while since you did this.

A few years ago I was riding at a 16,000 km a year pace which was an average of 60km a day and I rode a great deal more through the spring, summer, and fall while my winter riding was pretty much limited to my commute which was 30km a day.

Ride this much and getting on the fg for 100 km or 160km is not nearly as big a deal and more than half of my riding was done on a fg during this time.

Now my health forces me to ride with a few more gears and my fg time is more limited but in a good day I could go out and knock down a small c or a big C.

This was me last year when I riding plenty and then got sucked into racing. I remember several 100km rides fixed that were no problem.

I have since taken it pretty easy with mostly commuting (16miles a day + where ever else I go) and 30 mile rides thrown in there a couple day a week. This summer has been even slower. I don't doubt my ability to do the ride, I'm just not used to the saddle time. The others in the group are estimating 8 or 10 hours each way.

Today I moved into my new apartment. It's really nice...except I lost a track nut in the process.

Just fooling around. Maybe this weekend I can get a couple of them in...

If you don't you're shipping your old Orca to me. :D

Awesome! Sounds like fun. And I know your situation too, sometimes Jewish families can drive you nuts. :p

Argh my wife pulled me out of bed at 7am today to go pick up $100 hp touchpads.... drove half awake to fry's and ended up getting the last 32gb one and 2 16gb ones. Riding begins now.

Today while getting in the car to do a dry land (outdoors) practice for swimming it started raining. Hard. So we improvised and practiced in the gym. We stretched first, then pushups and circuit training. We had one group doing laps around the gym while one group did circuit training in 30 second intervals.

Sold my only SS/FG today... am I still welcome here? :(

I want to get a fixie in the future to use as my commuter, but I want it to be handmade by a small US company. Any ideas?

Raced at Trexlertown today.

I raced terribly.

That is all.

Today I got a road ride in then got a 2 hour session in at the pumptrack.

... got more work done on my tattoo, only ~4 hours left until it's done! (after 6ish so far)
