1st commute w/ the road bike yesterday was great, and i killed myself on the way home trying to break the 30 min mark. still have 50 seconds left to shave.
We get to see them when we can find them online.
Morning. It's raining here, I'm watching the tour, and I'm stiff and tired this morning for some reason.
Not much planned for the day, just surviving.

Did someone say strippers?
Nothing to see here.DRB said:
Hola all - major rain predicted here today, so I cancelled the club ride I was supposed to lead tonight - hit the gym, get some parts, work on my beat up DH bike from last Sunday's rock garden (in preparation for this Sunday's beat up shale session at Platty), and will hopefully will catch the Tour recap tonight.
I also have to pick up a birthday gift for my bro in law (who I stay with at every Platty race). He just took a bike repair class and is setting up a home shop - what would be some 'intermediate' tools that I should pick up for him? I am thinking spoke wrenches, cassette removal tools. Anyone have any other ideas? Too compatibility wise, he rides a '96 steel Fisher (ie BB tool crap).

welcome back stosh, nothing to report from the Poughkeepsie front.
Cone wrenches for hubs? A good repair stand?Jim Mac said:
Hello. I didn't do squat last night. I need to get my butt to the gym. I haven't worked out in a week.
Got my new parts yesterday, so I'll be good to ride this weekend! MBC and I are ditching work Friday to ride. WOO HOO!
There is an XC race at Mt Snow the last weekend of July. I'm thinking of doing it. I hear it's the same course as the NORBA course, which I also hear was quite the ass kicker. Hmmm.....

Cone wrenches - Thanks! He already has a wacky stand, though...robdamanii said:
Hey. Nothing going on here. Hoping to ride tonight. That is all....
Morning!
Well the T-storms ended in time for me to get a ride in last night! Hit the WH Reservoir again and man it was much more challenging after the rain than it was on Monday night when trail conditions were super dry.
I rode with a Bikerag guy and some other dude named Steve - really good ride and I hit some portions of trail in there that I'd never been on before. The Bikerag guy can ride really well so it was a good workout for me to hang with him. Good Times!
IAB where are those photos bro?

Plenty of things I am sure he could use. A good set of tire levers, preferably some of the high leverage ones. Crank puller, pedal wrench, cable/housing cutters. Those are just a few things that I use often and could see someone needing.Jim Mac said:
Good Morning!
Just got back from vacation. Been chasing the speckled trout and red drum all over the coastline for the last week and a half. Beautiful weather and lots of cold beer and bikinis.
A friend of mine came down with his g/f and brought their Sea-Doo. We anchored up on a sandbar near the breakers and spent several days riding the waves and just enjoying the sunshine.
We also hit the Tall Ship festival up near Beaufort. Neato.
I love the beach.

Good Morning everyone!
Played golf last night. Did absolutely horrible, but then again it was a course that I had never played before and it started to rain. Oh well, it was good to get out anyway. Other than that not much else happened.

Morn'. Feeling tired & beat up today. Yesterday had to take a flying trip down to Cambridge for work. Drove thru some pretty wild weather on the way back.
Is that the Barnacle?Greyhound said:
Morning. At work doing some work on my mtb story and looking for other work (grant writing and development related). Should be a busy week, but I'm hoping to ride on Fri.
Rode the trainer late last night. It was nice because there was air conditioning involved

Did they print up a new shirt?Tame Ape said:
Hoping to ride tonight... but with a 50% chance of T-storms I may end up working on cars instead...
Whatever....grandpaTame Ape said:
Morning.
Uggg. I'm tired. Our jerk landlord decided to put our house on the market so we had to find a new place and move. We got almost everything out Monday and I spent yesterday cleaning the old house up. Somewhere in the last couple days the AC decided to die and it was around 95F inside the house. Not fun. Anyway, strange as it sounds, it's nice to be back at work!

Did you smear some cheese under the radiator so it stank in there?jdschall said:
Well, I got some new shoes and put some new ortho inserts in them and went for a road ride on Sunday. Not sure what the exact roundtrip figure was, maybe 50+ miles? Anyhow, my inner left knee is sore as hell now and I don't want to mess with that. Incidently, both my arches are compeletly collapsed, my shoes are new Sidi Dom 5s and the inserts are 'Sole' moldables.bluebug32 said:Whatever....grandpa
If my 'parts' are feeling good by Sunday, I'd love to show you guys around Blue.
robdamanii said:Did you smear some cheese under the radiator so it stank in there?
I would but there is the small issue of the security deposit. Is there such thing as time-release cheese?
Hrm. Time release cheese. I don't think it exists, but it would be a fantastic invention.jdschall said:
Good morning,
Not much new to report here- hot, just hot.

Afternoon all! Had a nice morning and now it is pouring so I am thinking there isn't any riding in my future.

Son, I've had both my ACL's reconstructed. I don't wanna hear anything about knees being creative.Tame Ape said:
I'm in Glens Falls area all weekend so I'd be out. But the following weekend is possible...Tame Ape said:
Yes it does. That is, unless you are the doctor and are collecting $8000 for a day's work.Tame Ape said:
