I would think the HR monitor would play the largest part as you need to be in the proper zone to improve upon cardio / fast twitch / slow twitch muscle / burn fat. I am always high HR but there are proper zones that focus on the various improvement that you would want to remain in on those days you are trying to improve them. I am sure someone will come along that actually knows what they are and how to use them.

Happy Birthday Peter, we should have had a party.

Had another great, but cold, ride with Chris this morning. Over 1k feet of climbing in around 17 miles. I have not been on the bike in a couple of weeks and drank most of my calories last week so I was happy. I definitely need to invest in some new winter riding gear as the long sleeve Road Holland worked well but I think when it gets colder I will need base layers.

Dropped in at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum for a bit this morning.

Happy Birthday Vicki.

Love those Zombie walks. Nice set.

Is that just for looks or is a better quality chain than the normal options?

Thanks. 75% of the craft breweries at the event were all from Charlottesville area. Evidently RT 151 or something is stacked with good craft brewers including the GABF best small brewery several years running. Time for a HeadAmp beer and Mountain Biking Meet I think.

Decided to go out in the sorry weather and try out point and shoot MkII at the neighborhood Botanical Garden and an Octoberfest. Definitely not a DSLR replacement but might be usable as a travel camera, I guess. Will probably try out the RX1 to see if it might be more acceptable.

I think you are still okay but if you are shopping for WRs let me know. Everyone please be sure to set your lineups. No ghost rosters here at HC.

Finally thought of this thread while my wallet was within reaching distance. Good Luck Karen.

I have heard about a lot of focus issues with the Sigma 35. 35 f1.4 has been one of my favorite lenses on both Canon and Nikon. Will probably be in the market for the Canon version again soon.

Yeah, it sucks when you outscore 8 teams and the only team you don't is the one you are playing. At least all the ties currently in our league, Salty in 1st, 6 way tie for 2nd and a 3 way tie for last, will make point scoring important by the end if we do not get some separation. I still need to get my RBs to score well and I will be pretty happy with that team. My other team however, is a train wreck.

I would have done better with my bench in place of my starters this week.

Booked hotel, flight and rental car for Sebring.

Okay, I didn't realize you were trying to change position so much. My only concern would be undue stress riding a setback post pulled way out of the frame to get the height you want.

I am thinking about coming in Wednesday night to give me time to get the Calfee to the shop on Thursday. Otherwise I might be cutting it close as I would not be in Sebring until 5ish on Thursday night.

Yeah I really just look at the HC segment ranking anymore. I will never be anywhere near the top on the regular list but I am okay on the HC list.

To average 15MPH with 2500 feet of elevation gain looks pretty awesome to me Justin. That is a lot of climbing for less than 40 miles.

Yeah, I know, I was talking to Shelly.

No idea why you would want a setback post if your short torso is not the problem. Seems like it would only make that a problem.

Team Florida, I am trying to get my tickets. Are you guys heading out Sunday afternoon for home or should I book to head out Monday from Orlando? It looks like it is over at 1:00 so I might try to head to Orlando Sunday afternoon for my flight.

Just an ESPN screw up. They will fix it.

Had a great casual ride with Team HC DC this morning. Awesome as usual, except for all the other people. There was a massive douchebag on rollerblades with ski poles trying to stab everyone on the trail and freakin horses dropping loads on the trail. My gloves came in handy.
