Chick in flip-flops riding a Cervelo

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

DUDE!! That simply is not healthy. I've seen that pic before and the cat looks like an AIDS victim. Gives me a better understanding of how many high-level cyclists have such puny immune systems.

I think you thought I was talking about your Baldy training ride. I was actually talking about the upcoming Palomar weekend. Having said that, the Baldy ride sounded epic. I really enjoy those riding those roads. I wish I lived closer. All I have are these beautiful 2400 foot Santa Monicas outside my window, boo hoo

being that I'm I like old steel bikes. I don't ride an expensive bikes but, if I ever choose to get a top end bike. I will really get the road nazi's goat because I will sooner or later ride it around town on it in $5 walmart sandels cargo shorts and a tee shirt plus I weigh #300. that would really boil their potatoes
Brandy If you rode around here like with in 15 minutes every guy on a bike in town would be trying to keep up with you. Actually that would be fun to watch. Most of them can't keep up with a fat curmudgeon (me) much less some one who is in decent shape

Definitely wasn't her (Brandy I mean).

And I still want a Cervelo. Actually scratch that - I'd feel inadequate on one.

Ha, Ha... This thread was headed for the BF's Top 20 Worse Threads, suddenly with one post it moves to the front of the line of BF's Top 10!

Thanks Brandy, I have to come back here more often just for these threads!

Riding a Cervelo? Yep, first time for me.

I have a hard time believing someone with only a passing interest in cycling would buy a Cervelo. I could be wrong though. What said person wears while riding it? I could care less really. When I see someone riding a high end bike I figure they either love riding, are "rich", or both. Both of those are great qualities in a woman.

And you know this by them shaking their fist at you as you pass by or...?

Personally, I love it when a Fred busts his ass to pass as I'm warming up/cooling down at 15mph

for all you know she was just using it for a leisurely ride with her friends and she might not have any money for another bike or her friend was borrowing her other bike. I ride the same bike whether I'm with my friends going 5-15mph or with a group going 20-25mph. I just don't have the money for another bike. And when I'm with my friends, yes I wear flip flops on my keo Sprints.

I'd buy a 4000$ bike and ride it around in flip flops leisurely with my friends, especially if one friend needed to borrow my other bike.

I just got pannier for my commute, I'd love to see you try to catch up to me during my 10 mile 20mph commute, soon to be 5 miles so I need to adjust my training a bit. Sadly I don't see too many roadies on my commute, but the few that I did see I was keeping up and eventually passed them, all the freds are on the sidewalk, I don't even know how many of those I pass.

You know you're out there. You know you got 'em.

I really don't understand the whole big booty thing. Its just going to slow you down on the bike. And when you get to be in your 50's or so that thang will be hanging down to your calves.
incorrect.

I think the real issue here is Brandy why are you giving us a Polar file when you've got a powertap on your bike? You're otherwise

1) Full of ****, or,

2) Using a polar for altitude values as well as a powertap which is just waaaayyy to much effort for my liking.

Did I just get called out for having TOO MUCH data?

I'll go with answer #2. I run my Power Tap for POWER data, but my training plan during the months of July and August focuses on climbing and I get the elevation data from my Polar. The Polar chart is a good visual if I am posting it to show what kind of climbing I did. If I posted a PT chart, I'd be willing to bet that most people here wouldn't know what to make of it.

So yes, I run both and too much effort? Nah. I strap on a watch, the PT is already on my bike and it takes maybe two minutes longer to download the extra data.

Oh...and bonus points to those who are really paying attention and may have noticed that my Polar chart was lacking the pretty multicoloring that comes when you are wearing your HRM. I was wearing my PT HRM strap instead.

Ouch.
...boy has this thread gone off the hook or what?
Best. Song. Ever. Okay, maybe not, but definitely relevant to the tangent discussion about my quest for more junk.

As for yanking the collective chains (that sounds naughty ) I'm afraid not. Ask the old man, he knows I'm in search of a bigger booty. A little bubble booty in jeans...yeah, that's hot. Oh, and I'm not after any old jiggly junk...I asked Botto for FIRM junk.
