Got 16 hours 42 min riding last week from Thursday through Sunday and I'm still feelin it today. I have a race on Labor day, and I'm hoping I can find my legs again before then.

today i ran for the first time in years and ran an 11 min mile. running sucks.

Hottest week of the year in LA, haven't gone outside in two days.

Pfffff wuss, if I had a bike I'd be out everyday in this Vegas heat. I miss biking so much.
Just cant justify buying a bike right now.

You don't have a bike?

Monday I was evacuated by boat from my house. The water was deep enough the boat pulled right up to my front door and was floating.
All my bikes are in the garage in possibly as much as 5 ft of water or more
Water most likely won't recede for weeks.
I just put new tires on my commuter, too. Argh.

Man oh man. My condolences for your hardship.

tough stuff [MENTION=336334]the sci guy[/MENTION]. Hope you can bounce back from the damage in a reasonable amount of time.

Today I stood out of the saddle for the first time while riding fixed gear on rollers.

The standing and pedaling part wasn't too bad. The sitting back down part was sketchy. :twitchy:

Lol cabron

Worked outside today. It ****ing sucked.

today i finished august with 885 miles for the month. ridden all 243 days this year and only have 122 to go. 4,384 miles so far in 2017. feels good.

Damn man. Hang in there. I can't imagine having to deal with that.

Stop making us mortals feel bad.

Does this trigger anyone? Today I used leftover bar tape to re-wrap the side that got scraped up in my incident with the deer:

;)

That whole cockpit is just one gigantic trigger.

what sean said.

today i got word that my color matched whisky carbon fork for my mr pink will be here by the end of sept.

Scott must get pleasure from our reactions to this lack of cockpit symmetry.

Amen to this.

Today I am coming to the realization that I will probably have more miles this year on a geared bike over a fixed gear.

Keep in mind that 1 geared mile = 1.25 fixed gear miles.

Or something like that.

It also depends on where/how you're riding. A mile on the track goes by a lot faster than a mile on the trail, por ejemplo

Dang. Is that a service they provide? I've been looking at the no. 7 for the Nature Boy. Think it's a worthy investment?

Got back from PT at lunch. This was in regards to my MTB crash on 8/18. Fortunately pedaling is OK but there is still limited ROM and pain with certain movements. I've had to learn to clip in/out with my other foot for example, because twisting is no bueno.

There is no ligament damage or fracture, just some deep contusion (bruise) in the tissue and bone that will take 4-6 weeks to heal. I've been doing <2 hr rides with easy and (short) hard bits without issue.

I'm gonna take the next few weeks to focus on strengthening, stretching and massaging whilst slowly ramping up the volume to where I want it to be. I'm lucky that I dodged a serious injury and don't want any long-term complications. I'm confident that I'll be healthy and up to full volume by the time we're through with fall.

Plus it's the off season! Time to swim, go to the beach, play more piano and maybe sleep in like a normal person. I'll be back whoopin' ass by the time I start pinning numbers on again and it actually matters to me :).

you've got the right attitude. heal up!

thanks man
