Junior gearing always seemed dumb, good change. That said, pilot as a career beats the hell out of pro cyclist all day long! lol

RIP - Ttoc6

Sad news. Scott hadn't been as active on the forums recently, but had in the past and many here knew him. Unfortunate climbing accident in CA. Throughout his time in the UT racing community he was...

I'm 6'1", 165-ish. That "ish" part is important to me, haven't been on a scale in months after I noticed some bad habits forming in that never-ending quest to be as light as possible. Not here to...

Don't have a ton to add that hasn't already been said, but I do think 300 watts for an hour is pretty rare for the general cycling public, or even most amateur racers.

He and his pals came to beat up on us in a local race last year but I've got a podium pic and he's not on it, must have run out of food? Should had the bag on I guess!

I'm just joking around. ...

Agree with this. I don't know about planning an entire ride around a KOM effort, but even if so I don't see how that's a bad thing if that's what you're in to. For sure anything of "value" as far...

Talent is absolutely real. You can watch 6 year olds play soccer and see very clearly that even at that age, some kids have it and some don't. Basic coordination, speed, etc.

I'm a 1, but sadly the free socks and gels I get for being such a badass have yet to translate into mortgage payments. Cat 1 is not pro. Pro in the US is barely pro depending on your definition.
