Well, I too am on vacation, but I'm big, and often fart like a Rhino.
So... I'll take whatever floor space is available.
Hey now, that laundry room looks spacious!

Whatever, let's leave that baggage at that site. We're currently discussing how awful Texas is and how Marp might dehydrate and die whilst on a ride. Go.

I have a confession to make. Since the weather is sucky and the trails treacherous at night, I "ride" on expresso.com bikes at my local YMCA. :help::nerd:

^^^ This.

It won't take long for the trolls to cast their eyes this way (sorry RM for that). Mind your P's & Q's....

You didn't catch the apostrophe misuse in my previous post? You must be distracted. :)
Wow, yeah, I was. I was rushing to try and see if I remembered correctly who had cadavers (I did) and post before I became irrelevant. I was late and missed the misplaced apostrophe. I'm failing on all cylinders here.

HI HANDSOMES!!!!! i'm so glad the natives here are so nice! NOBODY BANS MY BROS!!!!
Hey, dumplin'. Good to see you here.

I don't even know why I got a vacation. WTF? Unless it was over that punk MCS?
Mine was not for him. I never negged him.

I have done that too. I like it okay. As long as you don't do as they suggest and get on the expresso forums and talk to other riders. :) I like the adjustable effort levels, the hills, the pacer, the shifting, and the music you can choose from. I don't like how amazingly short the effective top tube is. Makes standing up awkward.

If you live in AZ, there's no reason to visit Austin.

oh, and for being outside in our warm weather, these are my tips.

*never drink just plain water. no matter how fit you are, your sweat never tastes like plain water does it?
*never drink a calorie-free drink. if your body is going to process a liquid, it might as well have calories. unless you are going very, verrrrry slowly.
*drink until you need to pee. don't worry about that junk that the football coach told you about drinking too much and "getting the water-belly". this means you will be drinking a LOT. if you are using a camelbak, that little valve might be slowing you down too much.
*New tip still in testing phase. Wear a long sleeved white compression shirt. I actuially think this might be cooler than wearing a short sleeved shirt. If you get really miserable, you can pour water on any part of you that is not already wet with sweat, and get more cooling.
*when you feel bad, rest in the shade. just chill out for a bit. you are already the baddest thing on two legs just by being out there. you have nothing left to prove.
*if you barf, hang it up. rest in the shade for a good while, call your contact and tell them where to find you if you don't check in with them every 15 minutes, and go home.
*if you run out of fluids, go home.

All good advice. It's more humid down in your neck of the woods, also. Makes it even worse when you're outside.

I thought about the LS compression shirt (light colored) and may try that out this year.

Anyone know what will happen if two women post in one thread on Ridemonkey? I don't think it has happened in my time here.
Oh c'mon. Read the GMT! There has been at least one occasion with TreeSaw, MudGirl, & Me!

lesbian three way ftw!

SCISSORING IS THE STUPIDEST THING EVER.

So beef, are you a fellow vvimmin?
if not, then where is she?
Here I am! :D Does that make us lesbians? I don't know if my hubby would be sad or excited....

ya, for you, when you get hot, dunk the shirt in water and put it back on. it will cool you right down. let me know what you think. you are a stronger athlete than me, so i am interested to get your impression.

I'm gonna call bull**** on you Johnnie - some of the BEST asshats this forum have been women.

Over -moderating in this forum is like weeding your garden to death.


Hasn't happened since the assembled group of mental thirteen year olds turned the Forum into a boys club. We had a boatload of contributing women until the general asshattery drove most of them away.
