I'm glad I'm not the only mean one here. I do find that stuff lasts 2, MAYBE 3 hours.

I went to see my dermatologist in March and she took one look at my sharp farmer's tan and handed me a bunch of sun screen samples...

At least there's a "submit reply" button now after I quote somebody! The last version was buggy... oh well. I bet you can choose a different theme if you want that will tone down the white space.

I never can get that razor sharp line. All my jerseys, shorts, and bibs are different. I'd use that as an excuse for getting sunburnt today, but I don't think it applies to my right knee and right wrist. And this after being less-than-charitable to jsigone (I don't think the Mention is working on @jsigone!!! . I think his Karma ran over my Dogma (Or XCal.)

At least the left, with all the fresh scars, didn't burn!!

as soon as I saw BCI kits I wondered if you were there and Lo and behold....you say hello!

Had a nice ride to Solana Beach with more climbing and miles than “usual” route from Irvine. 72 miles 3500 feet

i enjoyed some pickle juice at Las Pulgas. There was some sort of accident in Camp Pendleton and the person I saw was laying in tall grass and the street sign was not where it belonged. Didn’t see a bike but guess if was Cyclist the bike was in the grass. Heard copter came to life flight them. Hope they are ok.

Good job on the ride, mine ended up at about 53 and maybe 1500. You and @tunavic (who did Breathless Agony today) are making me feel like a slacker! But according to Strava @TrojanHorse just played computer bike today, so there's that! .

Dude, how much beer did you drink, this isn't even in English.

Oh weird, I can see you are trying to dog me, but it only shows up when I look at teh quoted material, the board erased it from your post because they know you're just wrong.

Yeah, today was the last stage of Tour de Fake Riding Land so I could get the fake kit. That's probably it for a while, except for maybe an occasional outing. Inning?

Yeah, I see it's not displaying mentioned names. Chalk up another one for the new and improved software! We did hit BB after the ride today, and put our bikes on the patio. Very good, I had the panini club and onion rings. I didn't have any beer, just too early in the day for me!

It's hard to not smile once you've reached the top in Breathless Agony. Huge endorphin rush plus you are so happy to be off the bike and stop pushing those bloody pedals! Well done Tunavic!

Just have to vent, saw this on our neighborhood Facebook group:

There’s a swing that someone had tied on a tree branch on the greenbelt.... I’ve seen kids and parent allowing their kids to swing on it. It’s on a dangerous slope as kids could fall off the swing and get hurt. Who should be called to cut it down?
Pretty sad that kids can't be allowed to play on a rope swing these days.

It was a great ride @TrojanHorse. The weather was good, the SAG stops excellent, SAG vehicles were everywhere AND Artie left the sandals at home

Thank you @jimincalif - very true, I was glad it was over........however, as we approached Sylvan Park I knew I still had a lot left so I still think a double is doable in the future.
