  1. I love your new bike, Nate! When do you take delivery? **BRENT**
  2. Today is the one year anniversary of that event. I still have a few scars. Dick. **BRENT**
  3. They're not scared of snakes and gators; at least they have a fighting chance. With you, on the other hand... **BRENT**
  4. Got in 12.06 miles in 53:50.05, averaging 13.44 with a max of 28.53. 603.7ft ascended. New pair of shorts, adjusting the saddle up a little bit, and that part of things felt better. Back hurt a bit earlier on, but wasn't too bad. About 2.5 of the last 3 miles were in some hard rain, so I didn't tempt fate and just headed to the car. I got about 3/4 of a mile down the road and the bottom dropped out. Visibility in the car was 100 ft tops. Temps were in the high 80s, but a little breeze and riding through a Civil War battleground with tons of trees made for a great feeling ride. **BRENT**
  5. Nice ride, Vicki, and sadly you're probably right re: the mtn biking. The guy posted pictures of some amazing views from his ride today, and I think he's going to love it. Justin, you should definitely check out Vicki's Calfee down there. Maybe you could let him borrow it for the Sebring ride in December, V? **BRENT**
  6. Mountain bike loaded up on bike rack to go to it's new home. So sad Oh well, at least he's a friend of friends, and it'll be going to a new home, free of thorn bushes, I hope. **BRENT**
  7. Yeah... A lot of shops can either do a fitting on YOUR bike, or they have a "fitting bike" which is rather adjustable in height and reach, among other variables. Retul fit is 250 here, 150 if you buy a bike from them. BG (Body Geometry) Fit from Specialized is 200. There are other fit systems, ideas, but these are both well respected. Trek has one that is less involved (those take 2-4 hours) and should be 75-100, iirc. As others have said, as you ride more, you will probably change position a little... So you may adjust a little more down the road, but these are great places to start. I don't know what the shop you were at yesterday offers, but they can at least do a basic fit/sizing. **BRENT**
  8. 52-54 is my guess. Going to depend on bike. I was fit to a 58 on an H2 Trek, but most others are 56 or maybe even a 54 with a longer ETT. Justin, did you talk to Chris about that Calfee? **BRENT**
  9. Manning and Welker for a combined 89 points. I think that score would've won a couple games last season. Maybe this whole "not going with Cutler" wasn't a bad idea. **BRENT**
  10. Jeff, if you ever check your Gmail, you can do a hangout. I didn't see this before tonight's draft, but before tomorrow's, if you're interested, LMK and I can set that up. **BRENT**
  11. Heh. Country Lawyer. Needed a smile today. **BRENT**
  12. 8 works for me, probably.
  13. Me being 9th or tenth? That would TOTALLY mess up my strategy of being 10th. Oh, wait. **BRENT**
  14. Nice, Nate! 56cm Calfee Bamboo bike with DA for 1500$ (For when the link goes away) **BRENT**
  15. Vicki, you're amazing! I went out for a few miles today. It was depressing, I'm back as square one, really. Coming off a week of sickness + a weekend of rain and back problems isn't good, but cycling was really helping out with the back pain earlier in the season, so I thought I'd get out a little. Felt good for the first little bit, but then it got a little rougher. One thing I like about riding loops AWAY from home... I can't give up so easily. The kids are going to be at their grandmother's next weekend, so I should have some time to go hit a loop I really enjoy that has doesn't have quick exits to home if I get the notion. Also, at least for now, I need a shorter stem, or a more flexible, well, everything. **BRENT**
  16. I'm good either way, but it'd be nice to beat up on Raffy a time or two. **BRENT**
  17. Sick burn! Enjoy the new fiends, Vicki! At least now you won't ever wonder if doing the 106 was a bad choice or not; you know it was. On the bright side, I bet the bridge repeats will be much easier for you! **BRENT**
  18. Hey Chris, they don't have one with Apex, but Neuvation has an FC100 with Force22 for 1895$ now. It's (not necessarily) stupid cheap, but seems like it may be a good deal. http://www.neuvationcycling.com/product/neuvation-fc100-carbon-force22-1681.htm **BRENT**
  19. 3 hours later. Done yet? You're up to about 40mph now on the Kirk, right? Hope it was a great ride, V! **BRENT**
  20. Make Chris and Jeff fly in to ride with you. Also, Raffy is a punk. **BRENT**
  21. No idea. I usually get e-mails about it. **BRENT**
  22. Wednesday at 9:30pm is good for me, if I still have a team. Is this THIS M/T/W? **BRENT**
  23. It'll be good for you to get some Florida sun, Chris. **BRENT**
  24. I will do one or two, whatever makes it more difficult on Jeff. **BRENT**
