friday gfmt
- Thread starter stevew
- Start date
Need to bike into town to eat and tell lies with other old men and buy some gas for the lawnmower.
fuckit friday cancelled due to interwebs outage at home last night so no work done, plus 10yo has last day of school today and i have to pick him up at 1. fuck!
Happy GDIFriday! Since the tri bike is on the DL with a busted wheel, I took the road bike out last night. 20 miles at 18.6 mph, and I was happy to see my newfound speed this year can't be fully credited to the tri bike (last year, 17 mph was a strong ride). Aaaaaanyway, 4 mile run done at the asscrack of dawn this morning, and an open water swim planned after work, weather permitting. It's supposed to rain though and I don't want to get wet.
Mornin!
Test rode a Trek Remedy last night, too long and steep for my tastes. Perhaps I'll go to the shop at lunch to get my grubby hands on a Transition Scout or Patrol and see what Knolly has to offer.
Packing up the truck tonight to go spend the weekend in the woods.

Rode in the woods last night, drank a few beers when done and then ate fajitas. Mission complete.
10 years ago a few of us in this area started a yearly tradition of the 666 ride. On the 6th day of the 6th month you do 6 laps and climb 6000 ft. It doesn't always happen on the 6th, but on the closest weekend day, which is the 5th this year. So tonight I have some trail work to do to prep for Sunday's Satanic Slaughter fest. This is what happens when you grow up on Maiden and Priest.
@Adventurous Scouts are bad ass bikes. Ride one if you can.

is it 4:30 yet? I'm so ready for this week to be done, even if I'm solo-parenting this weekend....
Hah 4:30. I'm bailing off of this ship at 4!
Sore from yesterdays yard work.
Ride on tap as soon as wife-bot gets back from her run. Going to be a hot one today.This is an amazing idea.
Am I missing something here?
Happy day before I depart Cali to all...only have one bike and the Frau wont let me ride it. "You cant get hurt now..." Blahblahblah...gotta go pack the truck.
Thanks for this.
6 inches forward and 5 inches back. I've got an angry inch.
check youtube....most of their records are uploaded there if you want to preview before you buy...Thanks for this.
Morning Monkies! I had a nice, moderate workout of 15 minutes each on the rower, eliptical and treadmill and kept the HR under 120 so that I can enjoy a short road ride tonight and save my legs for 2 or 3 hours of XC on Saturday.
I'm going to try and get to work by 9:30 today and make it at least til noon...

I've eaten an entire flat of sweet darks over the last week, going to get another flat today.
I know of no details other than I'm showing up and meeting you schmoes.
Golden Bike Shop doesn't open until 10 so meeting around 11 perhaps?
Bought lumber and 1# box of deck screws yesterday to build bike racks for our fleet.
Just discovered I bought torx head deck screws...ffs

Do you know what bike you're demoing?I know of no details other than I'm showing up and meeting you schmoes.
We can ride a bunch from GBS; all climby and likely crowded on a Sunday afternoon.
a lot of the times there's a bit included in the box...
At the horse show. Ruth kicked butt this morning. Maybe now she will chill out a bit. She has been driving me up a wall.
I do not know. Got a suggestion? http://www.goldenbikeshop.com/rentals/#our-fleet
Recall that I am 5' 8", fat, with short-ass legs and a long-ass torso and a preference for long front-centers.
Gonna be checking out the SB5C myself. Seems to offer geometry that is more compatible with my tastes. That and the carbon version would be so wanna be tycoon of me.
I fingered the Scout and it was a bit steep for my tastes, Patrol was much more my speed. But then again this was all in the parking lot so not a completely fair evaluation.
Your name doesn't happen to be Justin?
Yes it is.
Funny. If it's the Justin I'm thinking of I seem to recall riding Vietnam with you, Sparky, and Joe like 10 years ago.
Tim right? I remember that as well. Good to still be riding bikes in the woods.
You got it! Those were good days.Tim right? I remember that as well. Good to still be riding bikes in the woods.
Just saw a dude wearing this shirt. Almost peed myself.
