Dreadhead

Had a great heat of the afternoon ride with my father in law. We redid last week's route but about 3mph faster. It hurt so good. Edit: Raffy is lame.

I use Continental Race Light tubes. I also like Vredestien (spelling?).

That is awesome that you are building up your own wheels. I would love to do that sometime but I don't need any more wheels. As far as the next HC cycling meet goes are we settled on Seabring? I don't think I can leave for a long weekend the week I get back from 10 days of though I am thinking about it. Any interest in one of the Carolinas in the spring?

Sympathies Steve

Stupid flights are actually affordable to Orlando.... Even worse they are on an airline with reasonable bike fees

I wish I could but we would just have returned from Barbados.

Cool. It doesn't look like it's a real issue on the PC looking through the thread. I will see how it goes in a few weeks.

Awesome Vicki have a blast

For a gps watch it's not. Also my wrist isn't that big.

I picked this up today. Not mine to keep yet but feels light and looks awesome. I am looking forward to playing with it once I am under 190.

I want one of their Leather ID wallets but after getting the Dopp Regatta 88 front pocket wallet last week I can't really justify it as this one works great and I already own it. I know head case isn't about justifying anything and I'm till thinking about it. On a separate note having a compact and non-pain inducing wallet is awesome.

I think about 6ft or so as rotund looks about in proportion at that height and you're short enough that you shouldn't scare little kids too much.

Nemesis hoops are sexy. I don't think that the hub is 11 speed compatible though.

Well said

When it was my only bike it got ridden all winter. My point was that it is sort of sad to make a thoroughbred be a pack horse but on sunny days the Calfee is the ride of choice.

Enjoy it Vicki. That new bike feeling when stuff just clicks is awesome.

Decided against a new bike for now. The Giant TCR Advanced SL will become my ride from work bike. It is totally crazy to have a bike that nice as a commuter/rain bike but I can't sell it for much more than the CAAD 10 4 Rival bike would cost me so why not. The Zipp 404 wheels should move to the Calfee but I just can't seem to bring myself to take off the Mad Fibers.

Happy birthday!

Cool Vicki. I got in just about the same out of work (31km). The live tracking app seems to work well too and doesn't use much battery doing updates every 2 minutes. May increase it to 5 minutes.

Very glad you're enjoying the bike Vicki! More power too you on the off handlebar drinking as I've never been able to do that even after hundreds of hours in the saddle. All my bikes are pretty twitchy race geomety but to be perfectly honest it's user error. It looks like I may be getting another bike. I've been looking into it and I have pretty much decided to pack up my old Trek 1200 that I currently ride out of work during the week and take and leave it at my parents/brothers' house in Barbados. I'm very much looking forward to riding down there even if the airline will charge half what the bike is worth to get it down there. What's blowing my mind though is that my wife seems to be supportive of me getting another bike to replace it in the stable (rather than ride the Giant during the week). I'm thinking of a CAAD 10 4 Rival, as that way I get SRAM and help out my local shop more than ordering from Neuvation. I'm thinking about it though and maybe just riding the Giant is the most sensible thing.

It's noon, Vicki is on vacation but I don't see any bike pics. Something is wrong Unrelated note: I downloaded an app to my android phone that will let my wife live-track my rides. She's still not happy about me riding on roads by myself but I think it will help.

I wish I had the option for SRAM Apex but so be it. That is retarded cheap.

I used to race on the FC100 for crits and when I didn't feel like risking my Giant. It's a fabulous bike for the money. Thinking about picking one up to ship home....

Glad to hear it Vicki.
