Bike Forums - Addiction 2021.4

After lots of weights, I hammered out a 2 hour Zone 3 ride today. I guess that's my new Saturday plan. Jeez it hurt but I should recover enough to do a pesky 3.5 hour Z2 ride tomorrow.

Of course I didn't use said water, though I did think about doing so. A bug entered my mouth. I think I spit it out, though I am not entirely sure. It nearly required an emergency drink.

Posts that include moldy old bottles shouldn't count.

That was in response to his inquiry as to whether I shop at JC Penny. I don’t despite the fact that it still exists.

I also don’t shop at Walmart. Mostly out of fear that I may show up on the people of Walmart website.

Wow, you delivered the goods. That valley shot is stupendous. File pics are fine, Google images, not so much.

Haven't tried a Kona yet.

All I have to offer is after doing approx 3000 mile trips in 2019 Hyundai Elantra and 2020 VW Jetta, the Elantra is a better car.

Those were the days...

No. Also picked up four shirts and three ties which pushed the total into crabon Ultegra territory. Cost of doing business for me. Too bad it doesn't qualify as "uniforms."

Couldn't you have little logos embroidered somewhere unnoticable? Bam, uniforms. :)

There have been court cases involving lawyers trying to write off the cost of suits. We’ve been rejected at every turn.

If I knew a way to do it, I would.

I could have ridden by a JCPenny today, but I didn't because there's a lot of lights on that road. Instead, I did the suicide run under I-75. #CyclingContent

Then they were still using Mitsubishi engines and I think that one is carbureted. (barf). My ex bought one of the injected ones new in 1990 for $6k. Other than routine maintenance the only thing I ever did to it was an alternator and rebuilt the clutch slave cylinder. Sold it to a guy at work with 100k miles and last I heard he had it up to 140k miles with no repairs.

You couldn't tell the difference.
