Hey good news folks ... It's getting warmer in Florida. I didn't need a jacket today and the first time in the year for putting on sun block.

They would probably send it to Italy. LOL

Park tools are the best. No sweat at that LBS. it didn't even hesitate. Bit surprised the guy didn't use a squirt of lubrication whilst undoing and the good news today is they located the bike box in London. Now trying to see how quick we can get it back here. Crazy logistics :cool::p

Wow... That's so low it would give me a heart attack just thinking about it! Bet she is fast on the straights too. Let's see what fate throws at me by Thursday. My brother's bikes have cheap nasty pedals that seem to have welded onto the crank arms. I have bent the only two crap Walmart spanners...

Well it's not a complete bike it's missing front forks , a seat and a headrest. I am sure it will show up but perhaps not by the 11th. Guess I will have to rupture myself and train on a DF!

The 2 new KMC X11 gold chains are being cooked with molten wax. I thought I would add lib with Jason's way and then hang them in the garage to cool down. So now to let them dangle on some coat hangers There's only one trouble. The bike is not with me. It got lost in transit. Countless...

If you were to forget the wheels and rent them from destination (that's if you could) then you could sandwich the main bike assembly in plywood wrapped with tape and put into a over large bike bag, which would be considerably lighter.

This how it's done. Still had a lot more in my suitcase. The suitcase was twice as heavy. LOL It doesn't really look like a bike. I used a swimming noodle to protect various parts. Then with the cardboard, I just slide it into the box.

You must be getting desperate to see gains with that. You could go full disc up front too. :D I thought of something too... So I changed my pedal set to give me a bit less resistance and rotational weight. I packed everything and now to do my back in by taking it all to Florida. It's easier...

:rolleyes:

Better let that thought go;) I bought some gel heal cushions for leg after care today. I also tested out a new cheapo hydro bag and the bite valve is well knaff :mad: So just have to get a two litre camelbak or perhaps just change the bite valve. Today's ride was a sweat box. Had three...

Florida at that time of year is a big mix. I am just going to take everything I have

I enjoyed this so much I thought I would do it again.:eek:

I will try to find out. I want to be be a semi pro photographer this year so not going too fast gives me a chance to take some fotos. :cool:

Well, I am now a registered AUK member. I registered for interest in LEL but does that mean all the places have been filled already??? Wow ... Just entered the LEL, well it's on my AUK event list but I haven't paid. Guess I get invoiced later.

I decided to replace my existing rim and put a tubeless deep rim. How long did it take you to secure and tighten the spokes?

The box that I created seems like an overkill but I am interested in traveling with the V If I were to repeat the process, I might just choose an easier option. Cough up some money <$100 sounds reasonable to me and buy one of these...

Haaaaaa guess that's why it's got so cold here I can't go out to do the low cadence rides. I don't like them either... But my quads felt sure they had a work out. That was a good 90 minutes spent. The endurance rides if not windy seem of a different intelligence. More of nutrition and...

Very sorry about @RojoRacing , I was hoping to meet up. Guess now I will have to get a trainer and see him on Zwift. Its my birthday today and instead of all the predicted crap rain, I have actually beautiful warm sun shinning thru the window. Roads though are terrible wet from the melting snow...

I will check my LDL levels. I don't eat red meat, I eat mainly fish but I am high on goats cheese and eggs. I do eat lots of mediteranian salad with Virgin olive oil. When i cook an omlette with three eggs I only use the yoke of one egg plus the three whites of the eggs. But I only have been...
