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

$122 for VoS stage race

I'm also going to purchase a rear carbon clincher and an Evade helmet this month. After this month I have a financial goal of reducing my cycling related expenditures to consumables/repairs only for the next 6 months.

Fizik R5B shoes. First ride on the trainer today. Fit well and comfortable, but I think I need to reposition the cleats.

Had my eye on those as well. The Fizik shoes look amazing! Ending up going with Giro, but I'm sure you're happy.

I don't think I've ever spent this much on shoes before, but they're purple, so who cares!

Not a problem. Just define all new expenditures as consumables.

Found a good deal on a practically NOS cyclocross frameset. I probably won't get to do much racing next fall with my kids both playing soccer, but I needed a bike for levees and fire roads.

A few thoughts:
1. You are ripped!
2. Nice shave job.
3. Shoes look great.
4. Who cares about the socks. Own it!

Thanks! I MAY have flexed the calves a bit for the pic.

Shoes are fantastic, especially for the price, although it has only been trainer rides so far. More snug, yet roomier than my old Bontrager RL's, if that makes any sense? And of course the BOA fasteners are a quantum leap forward.

Just tell people you were feeling a bit more tri than bike, so that explains the socks.

I'm 6'4, 34 waist, 41 chest, 210#
I'm about 15-20 pounds over weight at 210 and I bought a large. It is tight, but once I slim out a bit it will be perfect.

I've been on a bit of a buying spree. Latest were these:



I'm doing a dirt drop conversion for my single speed mountain bike. It's going to be both awesome and awful!

I also ordered an Arione saddle to replace my specialized Romin. Other people like the Romin a lot, but the nose of the saddle is just too wide for me.
