I ate two waffles, a PB&J, two snickers, and about 8 Clif gummy-things. I shoulda brought a couple breakfast burritos too.
Looking at fizik r1, gaerne stilo, or sidi wire. I can find the sidis at a lbs I hate (so I don't mind window shopping) but the other ones are nearly impossible. One lbs has a bunch of weird shoes but I'm not sure on the r1s. Nobody carries gaerne!What brand?
Road shoes? Explain yourself.Looking at fizik r1, gaerne stilo, or sidi wire. I can find the sidis at a lbs I hate (so I don't mind window shopping) but the other ones are nearly impossible. One lbs has a bunch of weird shoes but I'm not sure on the r1s. Nobody carries gaerne!
Texas Roadhouse isn't bad, but it isn't good either. Who puts some kind of sauce, like a sweet worchestershire, onto a steak? I ordered a steak. It should come out dry unless I specifically ask for something on it.
I can get an hour road ride leaving my front door, riding my mtb takes an hour of driving plus ride time plus fucking around with the buddiesRoad shoes? Explain yourself.
OMG, the two guys next to me were doing that; well, medium well.
Welcome to the beginning of old age, you poor bastard. Buy your neon gear yet?I can get an hour road ride leaving my front door, riding my mtb takes an hour of driving plus ride time plus fucking around with the buddies
lose the friends, lose the road ride.I can get an hour road ride leaving my front door, riding my mtb takes an hour of driving plus ride time plus fucking around with the buddies
it’s not age, it’s principlesWelcome to the beginning of old age, you poor bastard. Buy your neon gear yet?
My mtb rides are pretty much exclusively solo these dayslose the friends, lose the road ride.
Same. I’m sure it’s improving my climbing but hurting my descending.My mtb rides are pretty much exclusively solo these days
Mine are too. I just go to Tryon and hook up with someone in the Parking Lot. Or just start riding until I come across someone. Rochester is cool like that.My mtb rides are pretty much exclusively solo these days
Did 19.5 miles and a few feet shy of 3k vert... hit a wall at the top of Belcher. I think nutrition is part of my issue, also not really riding this year at all (yet). I also wonder if I’m not still a bit shelled from that stupid 14er? It has been days, but I’m still sleeping like a zombie after that.Ended up doing a modified Full Pull. 22 miles, 4K vert.
Apparently I can only BARELY do a ride like this off the couch any more. Things started to get REALLY shitty around mile 15.
climbling the ladder to be being company man.....Whelp....... I am officially no longer an officer.....

Friends aren't the problem, living in the sticks is.lose the friends, lose the road ride.
You could also say 60 minutes from everywhere.the sticks? I live 19mi outside of the city
Longhorn, from your house??Did 19.5 miles and a few feet shy of 3k vert... hit a wall at the top of Belcher. I think nutrition is part of my issue, also not really riding this year at all (yet).

huh, i didn't know we subscribed to the same newsletter.the sticks? I live 19mi outside of the city. Not my fault you guys never want to come this way and only want to ride 3 minutes from your houses...
besides I'm old and dead inside, friends are a luxury I don't have time for
the parking lot at one of the places where i ride isn't the kind where you wanna hook up with people....Mine are too. I just go to Tryon and hook up with someone in the Parking Lot. Or just start riding until I come across someone. Rochester is cool like that.
Yeah, something like that. Threw in the lower trails on STM and NTM on the way over to El Rancho Blanco just to make @6thElement proud. Also, Longhorn is either dry AF or snot-covered slipperiness, and it's way rougher than even a few months ago. So basically, it's awesome. I did almost come unglued from the bike railing through some slippery gnar... that was exciting.Longhorn, from your house??
I think I remarked the other day that Longhorn seemed a lot more "gnar" on my recent lap versus whenever I hit it last year.Yeah, something like that.
