Cool! @Racer Ex sure picked a cold ass night to see whatever liberal nonsense they are promulgating on Broadway these days. Best of luck and roll with the changes. Have fun at the beach.

Yes, but I live alone in my bachelor cave. Aren't you married? Explain how you get away with it so that future TKP may benefit from your wisdom.

i separate my laundry, but not by whites and colors: basket for fitness stuff (which gets done on gentle) + basket for regular person clothes (which mainly just consists of socks). i never rewear my cycling kit (excellent way to get saddle sores), but outer layers and stuff like gloves goes on a drying rack. jeans and sweaters go back in the drawer if ive worn them but thyre not dirty - if i dont consider them clean enough to put back next to other clean clothes than they probably need to be washed anyway.

Wife and I have kind of a similar system. First off, clothes worn outside cannot be worn while touching any inside furniture ... there are inside clothes and outside clothes.

She then designates the clothes as clean (from the dryer, folded, or hung up), clean dirty (something worn lightly that doesn't warrant washing yet) that gets hung up in the spare bathroom, and dirty (laundry basket).

I kind of have my own bike clothes system. Gloves, warmers, and vest stay in the garage and get a few uses between washes. Bibs and jerseys are one and done while jackets get a couple uses between washes.

We saw "Waitress". Tough getting through the 5th Ave security checkpoint, they make you listen to a 30 minute Trump Tower time share presentation and sign a loyalty oath in German before you can pass. Great show once we got there. We had dinner at Havana Social. Terrific meal and company.

Ha! I don't always get away with it. I try to use logic of course, "you put your stuff where you think it goes and I'll put my stuff where I think it goes". But still I sometimes come home to find everything in the same basket >

During the summer, my stuff is usually wringing wet when I get done with a ride so the kit goes in the dirty clothes and gets washed ASAP. I'll hang the gloves up to dry but only get three days out of them before they're too fragrant to use, which is why I've got several pair. During the winter, bibs are one and done but jerseys and base layers are worn twice, arm and leg warmers are washed weekly, and gloves are washed based on snot content.

I'm the homemaker in this family. As to the laundry discussion

wash your clothes

Flatballer

Congrats on the new jobs gsteinb and CDR.

I'm a clothes draper. Work slacks that will get worn again, pajamas, around the house shirts, stuff like that gets draped on the edge. I'm not going to wash my pajama pants that I wore for a few hours on the couch at night, every time I wear them. I don't have enough clothes for that. Sorry, not sorry. Drives my wife a little crazy, but her way drives me crazy. She puts everything in her dirty basket together, and then pulls it out if she wants to wear it again. Madness.

My daughter took what we're calling her first steps last night. It's not as hard and fast of a milestone as I assumed it would be before we had her. I think on your own, two solid steps, then stop and stand for a few seconds, then go down on your hands counts as walking, or something close to it. Just turned 10 months old a few days ago. Growing up so fast.

I like your perspective!


Another's might be that I just chose to be unemployed.

topflightpro

That's what I meant. I couldn't remember the details specifically from your visit down here a couple years ago, but I remember that you were a bit frustrated with things there.

I noticed you made one of the positive comments.

Milo goes to Disneyland?

We have one hamper for all clothes, but if I'm not doing laundry right away, I usually lay my cycling stuff across the bathtub to dry out.

But I also have hooks on my closet door for clothes of varying levels of cleanness. Things that have been worn but are not yet dirty enough to wash - like you, jeans, a t-shirt worn after work...

is it sexist when some tri guy gets the same sort of questions about bike handling?

Are those Savile Road shop bottles on the shelf?

And clothes don't need to be washed all that often. We've become far to sanitized on a societal level, a little dirt ain't gonna hurt!

gsteinb

yep

Topflightpro can chime in if I'm wrong, but the team has a set of truck nuts that the 'winner' of the Thursday night ride is supposed to strap to their saddle for the next week. Kind of a shaming thing (at least I hope it is) to make you think twice about training for/trying to win a Thursday group ride.

Nice. Steven's a nice guy, he started that up shortly before I moved South.

gsteinb

I know him long time.

canuckbelle

That's the wrong counterfactual. The correct one is: were she a man, would she be less likely to get that comment? If 'yes,' then asking that of her is possibly sexist. And that counterfactual is probably true.

canuckbelle

I should hope that was unsurprising

FWIW, my feed was 100% positive comments on the story, but that's also not surprising, given the feminist company I keep.

topflightpro

It wasn't a team purchase, nor is it managed by the team. One guy on the team did buy it, and the ride is basically a team ride since so many guys on the team do it, and the guys who aren't on the team often end up joining, so it can certainly seem like a team thing, but it's not officially a team thing.

The first negative comment I saw was from a woman.

dz_nuzz

If I saw her race history for a guy (2 races from what I can see) and was told that person was being dropped in a pro peloton I would definitely have the same question. I don't care if you are a guy or girl but seeing someone go from essentially Cat 4 or Cat 5 straight into any pro rank I think there will be questions about whether you are able to handle your bike.

Flatballer

Yikes. Something had me looking through my PMs on here and I decided to go look at old ones. Then I got a message on Facebook from someone with whom my last messages were from 2006. So that got me looking at other old messages on Facebook.

I cannot, in good conscience, recommend any of you do either of these things. You will cringe at your old self, think you're an *******, and feel incredibly old. These effects are both likely worse the younger you currently are.

Hida Yanra

ha - things do change, don't they?

I saw your post about the kid as I was flipping through and was reminded that life had changed a ton for you since the conversations about PF frames and tolerances.
