raffy Posted April 30, 2014 Report Posted April 30, 2014 Anyone here doing the 08 Days in California challenge in Trainer Road? http://www.trainerroad.com/8dc-2014
n_maher Posted April 30, 2014 Report Posted April 30, 2014 Dropped the Roubaix off for a new rear derailleur cable and adjustment today. While it's in the shop I'm going to try its saddle on the calfee. Here's to hoping.
raffy Posted May 1, 2014 Report Posted May 1, 2014 Cool, Ben Some of the stages look ok, I actually like the ones that have sloping power curves and lots of changes of pace. The ones that have long constant power lines, not so much
pigmode Posted May 1, 2014 Report Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) Dropped the Roubaix off for a new rear derailleur cable and adjustment today. While it's in the shop I'm going to try its saddle on the calfee. Here's to hoping. I've found Roubaix rear derailleur hangers to bend easily. When I replaced mine it solved those type of niggling issues that tend to irk, and cause loss of rhythm. Unfortunately many mechanics do not know how to use, or are not fully competent with an alignment gauge. The upshot in they can't diagnose the issue. Edited May 1, 2014 by pigmode
VPI Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 Juan on his sweet Colnago Master about to head into DC. 3
n_maher Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 Nice! Enjoy the weather. No riding for me this weekend. I got called into work both days due to an emergent repair that needed to be done. The joys of management responsibilities...
VPI Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 Ended up being an easy 27 mile ride through Maryland and DC. Brilliant day for a ride and that is one of the best places to ride that I have found yet. Found my legs to have no issues but my ass doesn't like being back on the bike. It actually felt good riding since losing another 20+ pounds since the last ride, almost like I cut 20 pounds off of my sub 14 pound bike. 2
CD44hi Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) Beautiful weather. Great to see you Jeff and you look amazing, really. Great ride. Lets do this again soon. I am coaching Soph and Chloe on how to corner Can't wait to take her along riding ..... Edited May 4, 2014 by CD44hi 1
CD44hi Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 For some reason I am not seeing the second pic. So here is, ha ha. another .....
VPI Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 Thanks for getting me out there Juan. Great ride today and we should definitely do it again soon. 1
Nebby Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 Today was perfect weather for riding! Good to see you folks got out for a ride
raffy Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 Got 47.5 miles in today in perfect (to me) weather. For some reason I like riding in at least 80 degree weather, I feel like I can get my legs warmer quicker and suffering in the heat gives me delusions of being a badass 1
justin Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 played soccer from 10-11am. no bike. cant do it all
Dreadhead Posted May 5, 2014 Report Posted May 5, 2014 I got in about 36 down at the lake. Got lost and had a great ride. I am home alone tomorrow so another ride in the morning. 1
VPI Posted May 5, 2014 Report Posted May 5, 2014 In case anyone is looking for a competitive advantage, I found these skewers that will gain you 40-45 seconds alone over a standard set of skewers. http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/bik/4446464560.html
Nebby Posted May 5, 2014 Report Posted May 5, 2014 That's an impressively aero skewer to get 40-45 seconds
nikongod Posted May 6, 2014 Report Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) I wonder if they would fit my Brompton Edited May 6, 2014 by nikongod 1
Dreadhead Posted May 6, 2014 Report Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) I have those skewers and they are very nice functionally. In other news this weekend has basically convinced me that the Diabolical Double is out the window for this year. I have not had enough time to ride and prepare for either the DD or the century. 3 hours of driving to do a metric seems a bit extreme but I am thinking about it. I am probably going to sign up for the "Navy Federal Credit Union Armed Forces Cycling Challenge" ride in Crystal city to do it with a friend of mine. We'd be aiming for 5 laps in 3 hours (so I think that's 50 miles or so). Anyone want to join. It's a busy but fun ride. Edited May 6, 2014 by Dreadhead
Mister X Posted May 7, 2014 Report Posted May 7, 2014 A lady talking on a cell phone in a SUV got to close today. Is there such a thing as a helmet mounted mirror that isn't a POS?
Mister X Posted May 7, 2014 Report Posted May 7, 2014 I have one but it doesn't work very well with the bar ends + ergo grips I'm using.
