Nebby Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 Let's do it! Diabolical Double and later on, the Alpine Loop Gran Fondo? I'm up for it. For lodging I guess we could split a lodge/suite/condo/whatever...
nikongod Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 I ordered smooooooth and hopefully fast Schwalbe Kojak Brompton tires in preparation for the spring.
guzziguy Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 I don't think that scar is very visible or large, which I think is a good thing. Does it still hurt? Large scars are manly and enhance one's character. Here's mine after 2 months: Justin, glad to hear that you didn't set off the metal detector. Less metal was put into me, so hopefully I won't set them off either.
Torpedo Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 Wow, two months already! That one looks good too. How're you feeling?

guzziguy Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 Wow, two months already! That one looks good too. How're you feeling? I'm feeling good. My surgeon removed all limitations last Friday. My shoulder is a bit stiff and sore, but it's improving rapidly. I'm scheduled to get some physical therapy. My pelvis breaks have all healed well too. I feel good enough to do a street ride. I'm not quite up to a dirt ride yet. brent: http://gizmodo.com/theres-an-airbag-hidden-inside-this-lightweight-ski-je-1538074917 I should see if Dianese or anybody else makes such a thing for motorcycling. I'd get one.
boomana Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Posted March 6, 2014 Heal up, Justin. So the Gunnar is sold. I took a bath, but it went to a lady I actually like, so that counts for a lot in my book. I've been on the Computrainer four days a week for three weeks now. I suck.
Dreadhead Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 Diabolical Double and later on, the Alpine Loop Gran Fondo? I'm up for it. For lodging I guess we could split a lodge/suite/condo/whatever... I was thinking just get up early but maybe a hotel room is a good idea. I will put it on my to do list to sign up.
raffy Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 This is on my radar but 125 miles with a shitload of climbing seems too ambitious this time of year to be honest. Any interest in the metric?
Mister X Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 A couple of arm twisters from Amazon.... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004HHNNVA Sugoi RPM shorts in clydesdale sizes (X, XL and 2XL) for $16.41. And... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ADJC3VW PI select men's S or M sized gloves available in black or white for $4.82.
Nebby Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 This is on my radar but 125 miles with a shitload of climbing seems too ambitious this time of year to be honest. Any interest in the metric? Probably a bit ambitious but I'm going to try to train for it. Worst case scenario, the courses are all the same up till the 45 mile marker...
Dreadhead Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 I can be flexible but I'm going to aim for the full on crazy Worst comes to worst we can ride together for 45/50 miles. 1
MexicanDragon Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 Arm twisted. I need shorts badly and don't have a favorite. 36$ shipped with tax (new to TN) for two pairs, can't pass that up. Thanks! There was also a pair of Canari shorts for ~22/each in all sizes with prime shipping if anyone was interested. Almost out of the Sugoi but there seems to be plenty of stock on the other. **BRENT**

Pars Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 was thinking about the sugois... from what I read, these run small, hope you ordered accordingly L
MexicanDragon Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 was thinking about the sugois... from what I read, these run small, hope you ordered accordingly L I got the largest they had. If I don't fit then I guess I should just lose some weight, no? **BRENT**
Mister X Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 I was happy with the way the RPM and Neo shorts I bought last year fit. After checking the size charts I can see why people could think they run small. (the Amazon chart is on the left in the image below)
Dreadhead Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Just confirming with Meaghan but I'll probably register for the double today. Edit: Done! Edited March 8, 2014 by Dreadhead 1
n_maher Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 First ride of 2014 is in the books. A slow 17 miler but it felt good to be back out there. 3
Nebby Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) I just finished registering for the double. What have I gotten myself into?! Edited March 9, 2014 by Nebby 2
Dreadhead Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 Did about 30 this afternoon. Good times. 1
Dreadhead Posted March 10, 2014 Report Posted March 10, 2014 First ride of 2014 is in the books. A slow 17 miler but it felt good to be back out there. Wait was this on the Calfee?
n_maher Posted March 10, 2014 Report Posted March 10, 2014 Wait was this on the Calfee? No, I took the Roubaix as the roads are not great and I still need to do a full fitting on the calfee. I did a few rides on the calfee last year, enough to know I needed to change a few things before riding it much more. Now that the weather is turning a bit I'll schedule some time at my shop and get the calfee dialed in.
Dreadhead Posted March 10, 2014 Report Posted March 10, 2014 Makes sense Nate. I figured but I didn't know if I'd missed you getting your fitting done. This ride in June is going to be a monster: 4x the distance I did yesterday: no biggie. Over 10x the climbing: Excited to have a goal though.
