Just byproduct.

What are you supposed to do with them when you’re on a ride. Can’t always stop and look for a trash can. Would probably have four or five before coming to one.

Mojo31

Thats how it is here. There are so many nice days, even through the winter, that it’s hard to punish yourself with cold, wet and wind.

LAJ

We were supposed to have 30 feet of snow on the ground by now. So far, nothing.

bampilot06

What ever you do make it less than 52 miles.
Not that it matters. Datlas will prolly do back to back century’s today and tomorrow.

bampilot06

We need out weatherman back.

WhyFi

I've run in to this this week, too. If I wouldn't have hesitated on Thursday, I could have gotten out on a short ride in sunny, mid-30s conditions, something I would have jumped at two weeks ago.

... but it just felt cold and unpleasant after the mid-60s last week, and I dragged my feet until I didn't have the time anymore.

indyfabz

It’s coming.

DougRNS

never let a chance to incite panic go to waste.

DougRNS

I got 8 miles in this week, is there a chance I'm on the podium?

DougRNS

...or am I DFL?

indyfabz

IKR. I wore shorts Thursday afternoon and all day yesterday.

MoAlpha

If you smoke straights you can field strip them.

WhyFi

They open up the lungs better, too.

LAJ

Yep. Grocery stores were empty, end of world supplies were being bought, hell, I even double checked to make sure the generator fired up.

It's getting tiresome.

LAJ

There's a reason they put pockets on jerseys.

One word: Menthol.

We are under 5 inches of rain for the season. Luckily we steal our water from the Owens Valley and Colorado River.

big john

Strip them and re-roll them into Zig Zags. Makes the smoke extra nasty, though. BTDT.

MoAlpha

And please don’t throw cigarette butts in the urinals. It makes them soggy and hard to light.

bampilot06

Now I feel like a jerk.

bampilot06

which never made any sense to me when I used to fly from Needles to Barstow. All the water that just evaporates out into the desert air.

WhyFi

Oh man, during my (thankfully) brief smoking days, Camel was selling some limited, citrusy menthol varieties in tin packs at the dedicated smoke shops. Maybe they still do, I don't know. Anyway. some flavor of orange was my poison of choice.

bampilot06

I’m surprised I never hopped on the smoke train, a lot of my friends smoke I just never cared to try.

DougRNS

that shouldn't make you feel like a jerk.

I'm sure there are many others reasons you should feel like a jerk.

WhyFi

I just saw my friends at work getting smoke breaks, so I figured that was a good deal and reason enough to give it a whirl. For the most part, I only did group rides was only a social smoker, but there was that brief period where I'd ride light up solo, too.

Mojo31

I’m with Bam. Have never smoked a tobacco product even though I grew up around lots that did. When I moved to Dallas, it seemed like nobody smoked. That was one of the things that convinced me to stay. Since moving here, I’ve not had a single friend who smoked.
