I have the severe feeling that after a month off, two weeks on and another week and a half off, I won't be up to the task, but it's worth a shot.TreeSaw said:

No need to worry...it'll be a relaxed pace. Mr. Ding-a-Ling (my heart rate monitor) will see to thatrobdamanii said:
Hello all. I'm off today and home with the kid. Think we're going to go for a ride on the bike path up to the ice cream shop for some cones, and then over to my in-laws to swim in their pool. Sounds like a plan right? 
T, I think Kell and are are out for the rides (I've to work all that weekend) but we'll most likely be over for food, drink and stunt humping in the evening!!TreeSaw said:No need to worry...it'll be a relaxed pace. Mr. Ding-a-Ling (my heart rate monitor) will see to that

Sorry to hear you're out for the rides, but do come by for stunts, beers, & food
Ahh, so it'll be technical but relaxed. No problems then, especially if Mr. Dingaling says so.TreeSaw said:No need to worry...it'll be a relaxed pace. Mr. Ding-a-Ling (my heart rate monitor) will see to that
Everyone will likely get to see my super cool bailout maneuvers.
Hello everyone!
Today is another great day. I did a road ride before work - 7 miles of sustained climbing, 7 miles of big ring hammering back down, and about 7 miles of flats in between. It was a good little prework ride - saw 3 coyotes, 2 deer, a bat!, and a dozen squirrels.

How is the knee feeling after that ride?
I saw a woman yesterday on a road bike with this gigantic elbow protector and thought of Heidi. So in continuing with the how's heidi theme, how's that elbow doing?TreeSaw said:Nice
Aww crap. Now I'm going to be publicly embarassed....TreeSaw said:
As long as I don't end up in a ditch like I did last week....
It was ok today - I sprayed that Apsrispray stuff on it and it was pretty cool out this morning so it was almost numb! It was so pretty out as I headed towards Mt. Bachelor. The sky was lit up all orange and stuff. I've been doing a lot of pulling up in my pedal stroke - almost exaggerated, so my hamstrings are taking a lot of the stress off my knee joint.TreeSaw said:Nice
I just hope you aren't over-doing it. I think my hamstrings would explode if I tried thatHeidi said:
Hehehehehe....I have had some excellent crashes and some were even caught on camera. Don't worry...there are sure to be quite a few good ones! Maybe you'll even win a prize for the best crash or somethingrobdamanii said:

I think I'll give him a run for his money on best crash. I do an outstanding summersault over the bars, catching my bike in my hands above my head...TreeSaw said:Hehehehehe....I have had some excellent crashes and some were even caught on camera.

LOL and landing in the ditchCrazy Sweeper said:
I wish I had captured that one!
Wait, we get a prize for best crash?TreeSaw said:Hehehehehe....I have had some excellent crashes and some were even caught on camera. Don't worry...there are sure to be quite a few good ones! Maybe you'll even win a prize for the best crash or something
I'm there man.
Sounds like we're on the same wavelength. Awesome.Crazy Sweeper said:
Perhaps there will be a new olympic sport of synchronized crashing...
Ask Beth about it. Faceplanted in a ditch full of weeds with the bike tangled in my feet somewhere.TreeSaw said:LOL and landing in the ditch
It could be arranged LOL!!!robdamanii said:Wait, we get a prize for best crash?
I'm there man.
LOL!! It's a great mental image to say the least!robdamanii said:
Damnit, I think we're carrying cameras from now on to capture these moments. Too bad we didn't have one when my seatpost broke sunday.TreeSaw said:It could be arranged LOL!!!
LOL!! It's a great mental image to say the least!
LOL! I broke my seat at Whiteface last year and had to hold it on while I came through a section of trail...everyone got quite a laugh out of that, but no pics.robdamanii said:
Good Morning!
I'm trying to catch up on a lot of work as I get ready to head out to Mammoth for the weekend.
Have a good day everyone!

DRB - That's too funny! My elbow is actually looking good since I haven't crashed on it in over a year now!!!!!!!
is it just me or is today going extremely slow? it's only 12:30 yet I feel like its 3 and I should be leaving work to go riding.
Today is crawling by. I want to ride, but it's a 95 degree heat index...UGH.
Last night I located one of my old Sub Nuke EM friends from 20 years ago on the internet. He works at a truck dealership, hasn't responded to my e-mail yet but he has a unique name and after seeing the picture, I know it's him.
HAHA! Reactor, it never clicked on what your name means until you just said that. I'm a Nuke EM (Subs). I teach at the sub school in CT.Reactor said:

I went out and did about 20 minutes of yard work and decided I was done with that. Now I am folding laundry.
Crazy Sweeper said:
Did you race at 24 hours in the old pueblo about a year and a half ago? Your picture looks familiar and I talked to another submariner there. I'm a plank owner on the USS Nevada, and worked in Mare island on the Russell.
Reactor said:
are you talkingabout the Picture in Crazy sweeperes avatar ?
splat said:
yes I am.
Yupper! I absolutely hate folding laundry!hooples3 said:multi talented i see
That's actually Echo's mug shot from this year's 24 hours of Dalton and yes, he did the 24 hours of Old Pueblo that you were asking about.Reactor said:
that is actually a picture of Echo at 24 Hrs of Adrenilin in Dalton.Reactor said:

I exploded a prickley pear cactus at 5:00 am, needles everywhere. I had to take off my long pants to get the torns out. It was maybe 28 degrees f, and after a half an hour I started up the hill, wearing shrts and a long sleve jersey on the verge on hypothermia.
Yikes! I didn't do the race that year, but I did race this year in the torrential rains. Great course. I am hoping to make it back for another race in 2007!Reactor said:
