Well it really is a good F'ing (as in Fat) Tuesday. I bought a dozen donuts for the office today.

How the F' is everybody today? I had an awesome F'ing workout last night. I can actually do more situps not too. I'm not going to say how many because it's still F'ing low but I've also lost 10lbs which is a good thing.

Hope ya all have a great f'ing day!

Good f'ing morning stosh.

Went to a local f'ing mexican place last night and had some half price pitchers for Jenn's coworker's birthday. Had a pretty f'ing good time.

Other than that, not much going on. Carry on :thumb:

Hello!

Busy night last night doing a whole lot of nothing. My f'ing gas grill ran out of propane. I did have a good workout last night, sporting my new f'ing Pearl Izumi running shoes (see separate thread).

Deck hockey playoff game tonight. Maybe I'll start to score some f'ing goals again. Hey, maybe we'll win too!

Full carbon for only (granted, I use the term "only" very relatively) $2k with a nice mix of shimano stuff (mostly 105, some ultegra). I'd love to get my hands on one of these for a couple of days in Tucson next week.

Yea, well... I seem to recall you reporting more than one century last year. I'd take a less flashy bike and a few centuries over some blinged out ride and personal best of 30 miles.

I have the same Iron Horse and I've noticed that too. But the bike really pulls it's own weight and I've had no compliants so far.

Anyway, good morning.

Same old same old here. Had a great weight lifting session last night. It actually felt good. Also did some yoga/pilates stuff for flexibility and conditioning. I'm thinking of trying a race series this year so it's good to have some motivation.

I agree, the IH is damn good for the $...but it would be nice to have a better rig for long rides when I am struggling to hang with the big boys up front
