morphsci Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Comfort trumps weight on a long ride. Good luck for a good cause. Edited May 30, 2013 by morphsci
agile_one Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 Good riding, Jeff. You are going to be one tired boy after this one, and like Al said, stay hydrated in that heat.
MexicanDragon Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 Put Zipps on, upgrade to Red 22, more CF for parts, ti bolts everywhere, carbon cages, shave the tires, lightweight latex tubes (or go Tubular).Best of both worlds.Barring that, my ass was sore for a week doing 115% over my longest ride... another tick for comfort.**BRENT**

Pars Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) Have a good ride Jeff! Comfort trumps weight easily. What distance are you doing or planning on? Edited May 31, 2013 by Pars
VPI Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) It is a 56 mile course with an option to extend to 68. Probably the shorter as severe thunderstorms are supposed to be rolling in on Sunday. Edited May 31, 2013 by VPI
VPI Posted June 1, 2013 Author Report Posted June 1, 2013 Thanks Chris. Hopefully it will be non-eventful.
MexicanDragon Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 Jeff, I've been thinking about you today. Hope your ride is AWESOME, and the weather isn't too bad! Proud of you, man. **BRENT**
n_maher Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 Good luck Jeff. Drink more than you think you need to and have fun.
VPI Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Posted June 2, 2013 Done. Rained about half the time. Only issue I had was misaligned cleats so my right foot is really sore now. I am definitely going to train for the Century next time as I do not feel tired at all at the end of 52. Thanks again for everyone's support.

Dreadhead Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 Great job! See that you ignored us and went Cervelo Funny that it rained because we have not seen a drop all day.
MexicanDragon Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 Awesome, Jeff! I think I'm going to train for the metric next year, at least. Love the pic, man! **BRENT**
VPI Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Posted June 2, 2013 Yeah never got a chance to switch out brake pads. I really had no discomfort on the Cervelo. First Red Rider across the finish line in my route so I consider that as a win.

VPI Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Posted June 2, 2013 Yeah. Unfortunately BBQ was awful. Some of the worst I have ever had.
Dreadhead Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 Awesome Jeff! We will have to do a metric this fall. 1
MexicanDragon Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 Jeff, it's settled... next year, you're doing the Chattanooga one. The chicken and burgers were great, and the almost-mexican food wasn't bad either. Not to mention you'll come in for the VIP dinner for some pasta, perhaps with a side of Lynskey. **BRENT**
