Nuggets are at home trying to eliminate the Miami Heat but the Heat are looking good so far.
Denver can't seem to find the basket.
In other news that nobody here cares about Justin Ashley set a speed record at Bristol yesterday.

I’ve been thinking about my bike fit a lot recently. I don’t have any discomfort but I am wondering if I am too stretched out. This based on looking at the other riders. I noticed last time I rode with the group that most of the riders arms were perpendicular to the ground elbows slightly bent, while on the hoods. Also seemed like their heads were directly over the bars.
My amends are are more forward elbows slightly bent or if aero my forearms are parallel to the ground.
Makes me wonder if my stems are too long, however when I am aero my elbows over lap my knees and if I had a shorter stem the over lap would be even greater, possibly even in the way. I like narrow bars.
While watching Tour De France unchained I noticed a lot of the riders were more similar to the way I ride, but when they were aero, their backs were round.
My back is always straight when aero.
I have an extremely short torso and long arms.
My amends are are more forward elbows slightly bent or if aero my forearms are parallel to the ground.

I guess my back is round.
Always looks like my bikes are too small. I’m too fat for this sport.

This is a huge headache for our office and we sympathize with our patients but you gotta check around.

If you really want to get even more aero, try to bend more at the hips (and/or rotate forward) to get your body more parallel to the ground and thus more aero....but it may cause you some back and/or neck pain so I would leave good enough alone.

Fit actually looks reasonable to me, especially if you are comfortable, I would not mess much with it.

Appreciate it.
Ive gained 15 pounds since Simon was born. The only change in my routine. My mileage dropped about 50 miles a week. Diet and sleep have stayed the same.
Been battling something now for three weeks. Nose is randomly super congested through out the day, but not all day. I always have a lot of mucus in the back of my throat, and for whatever reason has left me with super weak legs. Really hope tomorrow my legs are back to normal. Race Thursday if I can even fit in my team kit.

86A at 6 AM. Heading for a high of 106. Over 100 everyday this week.
The weather man is saying temps will rise to 45 P. Temps unknown in these parts, until this year.

Standing in line waiting for the bus into the city. For the last time until August, in case I decide on another semester.

These forums are exhibit A . . . I’d wager that 98% of the arguments that go on around here wouldn’t occur if people were face-to-face. Anonymity … and distance… gives you courage.
On the other hand, it’s marvelous how argument-free this thread remains. I’d love to think it’s because the regular folks here respect one another, but you can’t rule out the sobering influence of there usually being a sheriff around, even the jolly fun-loving ones we’re blessed with.
