I guess I ought to bring a camera.......huh?

yea....a good one too!

Dave!

Remember me? We did that ride around BackBay with... Rick? was it? Anyway, I just picked up a track bike this summer! We should have a redux but with fixies! That would be loads of fun!

Got myself a bottle of hammer espresso gels for the ride tomorrow; as well as Craft Siberian full-finger gloves (on sale) for the upcoming "winter". Sometimes I wonder whether aligning my SoCal winter bike clothing based on my Stagecoach century experience is such a wise decision. :p

Since my car needed new tires and I felt a little guilty for ignoring it in all my bike hoopla and excitement this past year, I took the chance to upgrade and got a set of these for it -

for sure, dude. his name was mark, and i guess that dude was pretty sketchy. there was a big sh*t-talking thread about him and how he stole some internet domain or something, i dunno. but yea, you should come to some midnight ridazz rides or critical mass sometime. they are a blast. what bike did you get?

I need a jacket. Warm but light and breathable. Any suggestions?

I'm not light, but I'm warm and I breathe....:D

Quit cycling in winter.

Very cute Drew. :p

Now, this isn't helping me one bit!

alot of guys swear by the PI optik....i dont have one myself, but its been spoken of well.

I'm serious. If it gets too cold for arm warmers and an Optik jacket, I'm staying home.

I have an Optik... I like it but it's not breathable. I'm either too hot with it zipped or too cold. :o I'm a cold wimp since Stagecoach!

Stagecoach has changed our lives forever! :lol:

REI-outlet has Sugoi inverter jacket for $70 (too bad their 20% sale is over)... but that may be too hot.

That's for sure!!
I'll check it out... thanks Dave. :)

I bought 2 vests last season and I like them both. PI Optik vest and a Gore Bikewear Helium vest. I tend to burn up in full jackets, even the light ones like the Optik which I also have.

Just purchased ( on steap and Cheap) a pair of Oakley Mtb shorts, $27 with shipping!
Their "Burnt Orange" which is probably why they cost $20 instead of $80....
I need a pair, and the price is right.....
Now if they arrive in time I'll be sporting a pair of new shorts this weekend!

SCORE!!

i hear ya...i cant wear jackets...something about my pits being covered i suppose....i turn into a sweatbox...

I know...I think I finally thawed a few weeks ago.....:rolleyes:
I think I am passing on the Jan one...but they are doing it in April again, and that should be nicer....wildflowers in the desert that time of year??

Does anyone have the Coppi/Anquetil DVD that World Cycling (and others) sells? I'd love to borrow a copy... or I'd even buy it from WCP if someone told me it was fantastic.

OK,
It's fantastic..
Feel better now?























( never heard of Coppi/Anquetil, but if it makes him feel better.. )

IMO no windproof jackey is truly breathable enough to avoid sweating and burning up.

Layers with a vest is the way to go. At the Stagecoach I wore a long sleeve base layer, short sleeve jersey and a vest. I was as warm as anyone could be under the circumstances.

Gah!!! Sacriledge!

Silliest purchase ever. $15 for a titanium recessed brake nut. :eek: I needed a longer nut to mount my brakes to a carbon fork - and this was all the LBS had. :mad: I wasn't willing to go driving around to find a steel one.

Who would go out of their way to buy stupid %$@# like this? How much weight could it possibly save? 1 gram?

I used to have a couple of nuts you could borrow....they were brass, though.

Nice nuts, D.
