Dreadhead Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 I run tire liners in my Gatorskins during the winter when I don't want to deal with flats and there is salt on the roads. During the summer I've never had a problem with them. Here's hoping we can sort out some road riding trip sometime. Denver? The flights there are a breeze. The riding in San Diego was great the time I took my bike.
VPI Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 Last I heard any serious talk it was about North Carolina for a Road Bike meet and Georgia, I think, for a mountain bike meet.
raffy Posted March 1, 2013 Report Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) Upgraded my stem from a 75mm to a 90mm Deda. Also got Stealth Black Elite cages and Elite Hygiene bottles. I think it made a big difference aesthetically over my previous mismatched El Cheapo cages. Edited March 1, 2013 by raffy
n_maher Posted March 1, 2013 Report Posted March 1, 2013 Damn that's hot! I changed the stem angle on my Roubaix the other weekend and now need to adjust the angle of my bars, hopefully this afternoon.

Another possibility is a trip to Asheville and some of us can road bike and others can mtb. Calfee looks sick as does your bike, Raffy.

Thanks Mike, it's mainly because of the Enve's I bought from you. I really love the way these look, forget about if they really work or not
agile_one Posted March 1, 2013 Report Posted March 1, 2013 Sharp ride, Raffy. If Darth Vader or Batman had bikes, they would look like that.
boomana Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Posted March 2, 2013 You're bike is looking really sharp, Raffy. I was hoping to ride tomorrow morning, but damn it's cold. Ankle is not happy. Maybe I'll ride to physical therapy. It's a noon appt. six miles away. Should be nicer out then.
VPI Posted March 2, 2013 Report Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Another possibility is a trip to Asheville and some of us can road bike and others can mtb. Calfee looks sick as does your bike, Raffy. Sounds good. Asheville is a fun little town. I am going to ride in the morning. Should be around 34ish. Is that about your temp Vicki? Edited March 2, 2013 by VPI
n_maher Posted March 2, 2013 Report Posted March 2, 2013 2013 - ride #1 - a bit brisk out, but the roads were decently clean with only a few puddles from snow melt. Of course now that I'm back the sun is out and it's getting warmer. If daytime temps start regularly flirting with 50 I can start riding to work again.
Mister X Posted March 2, 2013 Report Posted March 2, 2013 Nice. After 4 months of riding laps around the trailer park an actual road route looks like a lot of fun.
Dreadhead Posted March 2, 2013 Report Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Nice ride Nate. I hope Jeff had a good one too. I'm hoping to get out on the road tomorrow but Saturdays are Meaghan's days so I'm on daddy duty. Edited March 2, 2013 by Dreadhead
jp11801 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Posted March 2, 2013 Raffy love the enhanced look, I did 38 today with a stiff wind out of the NW. Much better fighting the wind for the first 19 miles rather than the back 19.
justin Posted March 2, 2013 Report Posted March 2, 2013 i'm going to use my extra day in Texas to look at mountain bikes in some of the country's flattest land because more stores sell them here than in the Appalachians of central virginia 1
Nebby Posted March 2, 2013 Report Posted March 2, 2013 i'm going to use my extra day in Texas to look at mountain bikes in some of the country's flattest land because more stores sell them here than in the Appalachians of central virginia Wow that's surprising, I guess it's not popular in VA?
justin Posted March 2, 2013 Report Posted March 2, 2013 Wow that's surprising, I guess it's not popular in VA? Lack of population and lack of money

Much better fighting the wind for the first 19 miles rather than the back 19. Yes, we should have done that last week. Everytime we head south fighting the winds on A1A has always been a nightmare especially for me. I remember that Ronald McDonald charity ride where we all got killed on the way back. I think I am officially allergic to winds.

boomana Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Posted March 2, 2013 If my head cold clears up (I'm on the tail end), I'm heading out tomorrow, 34 degrees or not. Physical therapy is definitely helping my ankle joint loosen up, though the surrounding tendons, which haven't been used as much as they should have been aren't liking me much, but that should be okay on the bike. Hoping to get 20 miles in, even if I take a breakfast break....okay, I just want to take a breakfast break; I admit it. 1
MexicanDragon Posted March 2, 2013 Report Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) MT 650 MT 29 Peloton Breakaway Viale http://www.lynskeyperformance.com/silver/ A new budget line of bikes from a local (to me) bike maker. The Lynskey family is the one who started Litespeed back in the day, and the shop is 2 miles from my place. 1099$ for ti frames. 2500$ for a full XT build for a 650b or 29er hardtail, and 2200$ for a full (I think) 105 equipped road bike. There seems to be a bit of buzz around this right now, and I'm very interested to check them out. It's not something I could get into right now, but in a year or two? Who knows. **BRENT** Edited March 2, 2013 by MexicanDragon
