Your beard's better than mine. If there was a beard comb-over solution to patchiness, I couldn't even manage that LOL. I can just about grow a moust'd-goatee - and even that's sparsely populated.

Genes and hormones eh? Not a lot we can do about it at the moment.

I'm just settling for 'metroman' at the moment.

why you want me to get rid of my bashguard? that mean you won't ride with me until ALL of the teeth are gone? :)

Ugh! So jealous!

Dude, almost everyone I meet that finds out I commuted and trained through winter in Boston area for 2 years thinks i am crazy. In LA they get like 3 weeks of bad weather a year...so spoiled. Although I can't say I am sad about the good weather here. Word up for stickin' it to the man!

Hope your Holidays are going well, and have fun during Ashford this Spring. I loved the class. Look me up if you are ever coming to LA.

That is absolutely hilarious

"...but four MONTHS after you stop training, even a couple flights of stairs are enough to initiate cardiac arrest."

I know how it feels.It has been six months on this side of the pond, I am getting love handles. Two more months to go until submission...

Considering that I wrote an entire section about how pedestrians step into the bike lane without looking for traffic, and that you can't go faster than your visibility allows, I'm not sure this post is actually "contrary to [Colin's] opinions."

Still though, I'll agree that hauling ass in the car lane is much safer. But you can't always do that.

Oh dear. Glad nobody got hurt. "You'd be amazed h...

IMO this is a sad posting.

I came across this post accidentally as I'm Googling around for details re: next year's C2C.

I hope it is not typical of attitudes of participants in this event.

2009-07-20T22:17:57.243-04:00

OK. That's better. Now I can admit I may have shed a tear when when the tandem passed me on the Mile Hill Road climb (with a female stoker no less) but perhaps it was just sweat. Yea, that's it, sweat!

2009-07-20T16:37:19.369-04:00

yes, it is great to see people get out there. I did not intend my comments by any means to be a jab at the typical C2C participant, but instead as a statement about how silly we all are trying to be so fast all the time.

Well, all in all that was a pretty rude posting. ...

2009-07-20T15:37:55.937-04:00

Well, all in all that was a pretty rude posting. I'm likely one of those folks "your parents age" and I can tell you I didn't weep once when somebody passed me on the route yesterday. And if somebody I caught wanted to sit on my wheel for a while, if that made their ride a little easier it's fine with me. I just enjoyed the 6 hours of sharing the road with hundreds of cyclists of all shapes, sizes, and abilities. OK - so it's a bit much for somebody 40 pounds overweight to blame their bike - but at least that guy wasn't home sitting on the couch watching the TdF and thinking he was Alberto Contador.

Oh, forgot to mention: my recommendation is Schwalbe's Nobby Nic. (You liked the winter tire, you will like this one, or Racing Ralph's for shorter XC races)
