Usually when you all post your E.C. watts and koms I think I can beat them, but I don't think I can do 13+mph on 7% average for even 2 miles right now. Even fat as I am I could top-10 that right now tho!

It's only taken nearly 3 years of 100% dedication to get here! Definitely worth it. Tooooootally worth it. I miss beer.

With few exceptions there are almost no races on the calendar I couldn't feasibly ride to and from if I applied myself. The urge to end my 12 years of being car free is starting to grow because I know that is unfeasible in high heat and humidity.
Marlin Rando? (The owner wants way too much but I'm digging it.)

OMG it's a Rambler. Kind of a weird car, couldn't decide if it wanted to be a Galaxie or a Barracuda. Which motor is in it?

~161 at ride time? I've gained a couple of pounds recently but I think that's a summer thing. My GF lived in SFO for a long time so there is a chance I'll wind up out there over the fall at some point while she visits friends.

I was going to drive at 4:30AM to COS so junior could pre-ride Pikes Peak tomorrow. Forecast is rain, snow and lightning for Fri afternoon. He still wanted to do it (that epic adventure story thing) but I let him know it would likely ruin his ceramic bearings, so that shut it down I think. Anyway I'm at home posting, so Sat is the next opportunity.

I think the fact that this guy is walking with a bike makes this cycling-related and OK to post.

Just be glad she didn't live SE of San Francisco so you'd have to fly into FAT (Fresno Air Terminal).

meanwhile, in triathlon news:
woman deflates tires of competition
she admitted she "needs help" for an eating disorder.

my wife and i stared at that a few minutes and are still not sure what we're seeing.
cinnabon side note: if anyone here is ever in france (particularly brittany), get a kouign aman (pronounced "queen aman"). it's basically a caramelized croissant. think of a cinnabon but lighter: you don't feel completely disgusting afterwards.
it's a specialty in brittany, but you can occasionally find it elsewhere. (i found it in just one place in paris and searched MANY. i gained 10+ pounds in the process of searching.)
