Dan, do you need me to fly up to be a proper anchor? I'm very good at making other people think they're not as bad off as they are.

Sure

Colin might be on the MTB as we cannot break loose the fucking pedals from the Cervelo.  Might have to swing by the shop in the morning before we head up to Maryland.

[grawk]

I'll be on my cyclocross bike

[MexicanDragon]

Jeff, just make him buy some shoes and cleats. That seems like the better solution.

[grawk]

I can bring kroil to break the pedals loose

great, I didn't know you were doing the road.

[grawk]

Colin promised to go slower than me

[VPI]

As he will probably be running alongside you, that is very likely.  

 

I am not sure what time people are thinking for tomorrow.  If we have to swing by the shop we would not be rolling into Silver Spring until 10:30-10:45ish.

[grawk]

10:30 is what Colin told me. That's about when I could possibly make it anyway.

[CD44hi]

let's shoot for 11 then.

[grawk]

I'll still shoot for 10:30 but I don't mind waiting

Try some anti-seize compound on the threads (or at least grease) when you put them on. Remember that the non-drive side is left-hand thread. Shop? WTF is that

Joe Breeze says you guys are pussies for wimping out over some mud. "Mountain bikes are made for mud!"

[grawk]

it's the trails that wimped out, there are too many people and riding in the wet would screw things up for everyone

[Voltron]

I'm just funning' ya because Joe is at my nephew's graduation party.

It was fun. Thanks for talking me into it.

[VPI]

It was a great ride and I hope we repeat the whole thing soon.

 

Hooked up to Strava and it appears that losing a bit of weight helped with my HR as well. Typically average around 180-190 with peaks over 200.  Today, average was 139 for the ride.

nice, I just finished up 36 with a couple of friends for fathers day.

I am jealous of you guys.

 

Since buying my Trek bike I've been making it a point to ride at least once every day. I am so overweight and out of shape that so far I have been limiting rides to 10-15 minutes in my local neighborhood. I try and stretch it a little bit more with each ride. I want to get my legs and breath back and am working slowly at getting there. At the end of each ride my legs feel like rubber, but I feel good when I finish. I'm keeping a positive attitude and making sure I get out there every day.

 

I will post sparingly here but will continue to follow the thread for inspiration.
