Talk is cheap.

I went to lunch with several of the guys at my last job and the subject of hand pain came up. I was surprised at how most of us had it in common, even the younger guys. A few of us also had the swelling/lumpy area around the joints behind the nail bed.

Mine have improved since retiring but I still get some hand pain.

Not anymore.

Don't tell me this is yours.
Degree revoked?

Speaking of whom. :roflmao2:

(no, this is not my doctor)

I no longer attend.

Kinda freaked me out. The newest bike went dead first? Also lowest miles. Odd.

I cannot accept the bonus points as the top tube is actually sloping, its just the photo angle that makes it look horizontal.

It's a size 54.

Motor City style.

I started getting wrist pain last summer and it came to a peak in the Fall. I really thought that I might have broken it at some point. I consulted an orthopedist who did his thing and deemed it tendonitis which makes sense since the back of my hand would burn at times.

Anyway, he showed me the x-ray and said I had remarkably little arthritis in my hand/fingers for a 70 year old.

Still don't know how I got tendonitis in my wrist/hand unless it was running a mouse in PC video games. :innocent:

I hate those things. I've never figured out how you use them. :foo:

We've seen pics, before. TTKU

How many miles, roughly? My eTap bike has over 10,000 miles and is 4 years old.

Edit: Changed battery this morning and the battery cover shows marks so I've obviously changed the battery before. Oh, well, better safe than sorry.

Feeling a little better today. The steroid really messed me up yesterday.

I hope the worst is over. Had to call out for my trip tomorrow unfortunately.


Plugged my xbox in yesterday for the first time in 4 years. Took 8 hours to update everything. Started Borderlands the pre sequel but lost interest really fast. Don’t know how I used to spend hours playing these games.

I wonder how much fitness I have lost these days. I havnt registered for the Crit May 1st, I am wondering if I should skip that one. I don’t really want to but I think I will be weaker than the last race opposed to stronger.

Less than stellar today.

Among other things, the handlebars don't match. :wtf:

Anyone know what happened? Hit by a train?

Nah, don't skip it. Forge ahead.

It appears he was hit by a train while cycling in his hometown of Montclair, New Jersey. The 57 year old media critic and journalist, did not survive.

Right. There's a bit of time to prepare.

Have you ever heard of a cyclist being killed by a train?

Getting a bolt was a severe ass pain. Hardware store was a no-go, went to 2 different shops. It’s pouring, so I won’t know until tomorrow but I’m going to try and repeat the action that caused the break. Regardless I’m going to stuff a spare chain in my bento box for my “gravel race” Saturday.

I was going to ride it on 28s, but since we got about an inch of rain overnight with more to come as well as rain all day Saturday, gonna run something bigger

Yes

I suck

My wife hasn’t worked in three years. She got tired of the nonsense in her C level job and decided she wanted a change- so she took the LSATs and was going to go to law school. Then COVID happened and completely screwed the timeline. She didn’t want to do her 1L remotely, so she didn’t go.

She’s been putting feelers out there and will probably go back to work soon, just needs to find the right job.

How? Fell down crossing the tracks and got run over?
