morning yo - having to work today
Rollers with fluid resistance unit. I can never get enough resistance out of a stationary trainer. Watching freeride videos has in the past caused some interesting maneuvers on the rollersWumpus said:
but lately I just listen to music.
I have a trainer, with a remote resistance adjuster
My trainer is a wind resistance unit, and it's a fossil. The only way I can get enough resistance is to run low pressure in the tire and squish the roller in real hard. I know when each session is about done when I smell the burning rubber
You should at least go look at it and make sure it's worth the trip!Crashby said:
LOL! My hubby made it for me because I was having a tough time when we got the rollers last winter (there were several crashes nearly landing me on our bar, or into the steel beam supports). Now we have a whole "station" set up. There's a chin-up style bar hanging up to our left with a water bottle and towel hanging on it, the step to the right and the tv is straight ahead.Heidi said:awwwwe, how cute!

Good Morning Stosh!
Waiting for UPS to arrive with a big box.....:devil:
Other than that, just busy here at work, nothing else to report.
Have a good day!

Dude! Sorry to hear that!Skookum said:
Sounds like you are gonna make the best of it though
3 hours off spinning sounds brutal, but i guess you can gauge yr output and adjust accordingly. i'm usually sweating like crazy 15 minutes into it, and it's funny to see some people who still look like they just got on the bike. my limited data set would seem to suggest that most women in my class either don't sweat much and/or don't push hard.
What's the temp up there?Skookum said:i got laid off today, guess our big job at the huge Redmond UPS hub is on delay since there are issues with some bunk insulation we recieved.

You're in the union right?
How many bay's is the UPS hub?

Sorry to hear about your job. Hopefully the weather cooperates for all the fun you're going to have with the bikey!
OOoooo......what's inside the big boxShyrmp said:Good Morning Stosh!

I hear it will go downhill really fast.....but probably only if I'm not riding it...TreeSaw said:OOoooo......what's inside the big box
Sorry Skooks. Enjoy the time off though.
thanx for the kind words everyone, it's very common in my job to get laid off for months at a time so i'm actually glad it's gonna only be for a few weeks.
anyways yah i'm in the union so if there's work for other companies i can jump ship for a job then go back to my old shop if i choose to. In the meantime i collect unemployment, but since last year was slow and i was out of work during the busy summer i'm a little hosed, but it's cool, being poor builds character.
Yah the UPS hub in Redmond is HUGE!!!!!! They have about 8 rows for different regions on the Eastside of Seattle and Lake Washington.... Anyways each section stretches back for 300 feet at least!!! So i can't even begin to guess how many trucks and bays for each region, let alone how many packages get distributed through there. All's i can say is that it's a complete madhouse walking thru there in the morning. The it's incredibly surreal to come down during break after all the trucks have left, since you have silence in a huge empty warehouse. The roof is about 50 to 70 feet above to help the scope. i think it's pretty neat.

Your spin classes are only three hours out there?douglas said:I am seriously thinking of doing a 3 hour spin class saturday
hAHAHAHAA!stosh said:
If they could move all their stunts from the yard to the inside, I'd never leave the house! Except to ride the Vortex of course!!stosh said:
neaky:
in the lower elevations no. Kind of funny that this last week was supposed to be our huge winter blast. People up north in Bellingham (Dwaugh's city close to the border) got some, but in Seattle it's very rare. Here's the extent of the only night we got a few inches accumalated in the clearcut, but it never touched the ground from the canopy of trees in the forests....stosh said:
But the surrounding Cascade and Olympic mountains? Way different story. Washington is very weird in the respect you can spend a day driving and see 4 or 5 very different terrains with varied weather conditions.
Here's a pic of me that Oly took of our ride last Sunday...
did I mention it would be my 3rd ever spin class??narlus said:
The chick that does the spin class is awesome (she owns the gym and has placed at all sorts of various competitions in the northeast)
yeah, I saw a few w/ a cadance of around 40-50, I wonder if they left their tension in the lowest spot the hole time?
They have spin competitions? Hows that work?douglas said:
McGRP01 said:They have spin competitions? Hows that work?
no...I meant other crap, like kayak races, road bike races, "fit" competitions, etc, etc
most fluid effluent wins. can be a combo of sweat, urine, blood or vomit.McGRP01 said:They have spin competitions? Hows that work?

hello - and good afternoon - I'm late, but that's because I officially filed for divorce this morning.......it feels both good and bad. Good that I'm finally tackling this hurdle, bad well because it is going to really really kill my wallet and checking account.
I better pay for the Dalton race when I get payed next friday so I can secure that at least! So be ready for a check IAB.

You get my last PM?
yes payment for Dalton - by that date I should be officially divorced as our court date could be May 16th if everthing goes smoothly.
