Yeah I am going to get the type cover.

Jens Voigt is doing a charity ride on 10/19 in Baltimore. Anyone interested? http://savealimbride.org/Uploads/Public/mobile/SALR-mobile/SALR.html I love Jens! Edit: I'm thinking metric myself but could do the 30 if that's the consensus.

Thinking that I will pre-order one myself. Retire my computrainer laptop to running my 3D printer (if it ever f'ing arrives) and my current laptop to becoming the computrainer laptop. What keybord cover are you planning to use. I'm leaning towards the type cover but touch cover may be good.

That is a smart looking watch Jacob

Not serious pain just a moderate shooting pain down my right leg (and sometimes left) that comes on about an hour into a ride unless I have my chamois positioned just right. I just stop and futz around with it a bit and it improves to a dull burning sensation along the outside of my thigh and calf. Not willing to stop riding over it.

One of my team members just became Retul certified and was already a chiropractor. He's offering fits dirt cheap and because he's in my network I will only have to pay the co-pay. Sciatic pain may finally get figured out. I'm hopeful.

Jeff you should be able to put it together yourself I would think. Jealous but I will have my bike in Barbados and be there for 10 days a week before before so I should be biked out.

I fell 3km short of the metric century because I ran out of time but had a nice time meeting up with Ben and Jeff. Was very nice to be out on the bike for 4 hours

See you guys then.

9 am work to meet at the usual spot? We can then roll out for a bit and turn around to get me back on time or we can do a climbing loop if we prefer.

Jeff what time do you want to meet? I will just do what miles I can before hand as I am not feeling great right now and may be getting a slight cold.

What time? I am off the hook all morning but would like to be home by 11:30 so finish up the loop around 1015 or 1030. I was thinking a long ride on the trail anyway so that works out.

Sorry Jeff. You riding tomorrow? I could ride out to you and do a loop and then ride home.

I am busy with Ben's birthday tomorrow but I am probably available on Sunday

Yeah I'm going to keep on with what the Quarq and I'm thinking about maybe investing in a Stages powermeter for my "moving stuff around" goals instead. I can get it pretty cheap and while not as accurate and portable (because it doesn't move between shimano and sram etc) it's pretty close. Edit: Or I'll do the most sensible thing and just stick with what I have and use the iBike and Quarq until the Garmin is sorted out a bit better or Brim Brothers comes out with a Look compatible cleat meter.

Cool. Sorry that you're suffering with your wrist. Glad you got the Calfee dialed in. I am suffering second thoughts about the Vectors. I really want them for absolutely no good reason.

Cool Jeff. What day? I am thinking of just doing a metric on the W&OD on Sunday which is boring.

Looking great Ben. As Dan points out though as soon as either you or Jeff start passing me I will file a UCI complaint and get your Strava account suspended

Finally got my Suunto back and since I am using it as a everyday watch I am glad I went with the Sapphire with the stainless bezel. I am hard on watches. I have already touched up the bezel with Scotch Brite.

Ben you can borrow my bike bag and ship it FedEx too.

Big sale on Suunto Ambit 2 of all colors and types. http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/09/massive-exclusive-training.html I love mine. Thinking of getting one for my wife.

Happy birthday!

Happy belated birthday!

I did this and just emailed the shop to let them know I had changed my mind on the replacement and I just wanted my money back. We'll see how it works out. If it ends up that my shop is left holding the bag I'll then purchase them and make do. For sure I understand why it was that way my issue is that they design it so that where the gap is also has a washer near it.

So when I was dropping my Vectors off I was showing the shop what happened and I discovered that for 100% certain I'm not responsible. The issue was that just inside the threads the shaft of the pedal gets a bit smaller so what happened is that their own Garmin provided washer dropped down on this section and then tightened on out of true and applied pressure unevenly and shit broke. I really should just take my money and run but I want pedal based power.
