Now is the prrr-fct time to approach him and tell him you saw him "shining a chair with his butt", and now you can show him how he can "shine a Vendetta with his butt", and still be making forward progress .... ;)

Sounds great Steve - It looks like you have figured out the gearing and what was holding you back initially in the speed department. As you begin to be more accustomed to the bike and the pedal steer you will soon be able to clip into your pedals. I dare say, this will increase your stability at...

Well, he was riding on of those "old fashioned bikes", plus he had a full beard, and he was old - at least 50!! At least 2 of those things have been linked to slower speeds and age isn't one of them!:eek:

I have not but have a friend that rides one of those "old fashioned bikes" that rides them and loves them. I have read that they are a really pain to set up with certain FD's however. Having read up on them, I imaging that they are giving basically the same advantage as the Q-rings - as they are...

Have you considered forwarding your phone ... to ... hmmm .. Jim, Maria, no wait --- Ratz! :p:D

Can you please send me one for testing? Of course I'll give it back! :):D ;)

The first one should've be Alpha don't you think? - and of course when them name one Omega - well - you know! ;)

Maybe it was strategic - Makes all his customers feel great, so they buy more stuff from his shop!

I just strap the weights to the back of my V when I'm doing mountain hill repeats. It's hard going up, but the added mass really makes it fun going back down! :eek:

Feel free to share my data Ratz!

Mark, I use a master link. I can ride the chain on the KICKR just about forever between waxes, because it does not get any dirt on it at all. I probably put 1500+ miles on between waxings. You just wax it when it starts squeaking - that's basically it. If you ride in the pouring rain and grime...

It's Monday evening after putting in a long day at work (my company has a "branch" just outside Detroit), so at least I only had to drive 3 hours Sunday after the event. Thanks again for all the well wishes for my recovery. I certainly did not ride a smart race. Kudos to Kevin for going so hard...

I hate it when that happens! what was she doing - riding in freezing rain or something!

Not really flat - not like Washington, NC - which has about 20' of climbing for each 26 mile loop - frying pan flat! N24Hc route has 3360' climbing in the first 122 miles, then 575' every 24 mile loop, then 118' every 7.6 mile loop. So, the night will be less climbing so that is nicer. First 200...

Thanks Rick - Yeah all that stuff really adds up (especially the secret stuff!)

Amazing but true: Gary does not wax his chain (he may confirm this), but he is so fastidious that it looks like he does. I am pretty sure he cleans it after every ride - Makes me look like a slob. I wax my chains, and they look dirty next to his. - Although waxing is indeed the way to go! No...

Nice catch Rick!

Also give us the KOM name of the segment that you are referring to- so we can check out the elevation profile and the other riders.

Thanks Eric, All great advice! How big is this tag? Do you think they will let me pin it to the side of my Quiver (where my last event number is "pinned"? I had heard there where some pretty good hills on the 1st loop - what where they like? It also looks like there is a "goofy" little...

Yeah - and Id be all warmed up too! :rolleyes:
