MZ, I'll make you feel real good.
I'm 5'9 1/2 and weigh 190. I'm the lightest I've been in 20 years. I like having upper body strength and am too fat for this sport as I proved to myself today.

OK --training related question.
I tried doing hill repeats for the 1st half of my ride Here is the Garmin data for it. Is this a good hill for this? (I didn't record the 1st lap since I didn't want to start at my house and forgot to turn it on)
What surprised me is that I thought I had completely blown up on the last lap and it was my fastest. I did not do a 6th for that reason. Should I have kept going until I physically could not get up the hill again?

I was 5'9 and weighed 187 back in February. I lost a lot of weight, obviously.

In sports news, I heard it's not very smart to invite a high school basketball recruit to your home for an unofficial and illegal visit, take a photo of the two of you, and then lie about it to the NCAA.

I'm going to repost this here because I think it was a good question.

I crashed, I inspected them, they looked fine. A week later they broke when I hit a pothole.

I posted that before you or anyone responded to it on the other thread.
You're just one to jump on people for stuff even on "good behavior", aren't you?
I didn't disagree with your post.
