June 8, 201412 yr comment_639835 Went for a fairly leisurely 58 miles today as part of the Armed Forces Cycling Challenge. http://app.strava.com/activities/151050952 Was acting as a domestique/rabbit for a friend of mine for the majority of it other than the last lap. One of these years I'm going to ride this for myself and stick with one of the peletons so I can actually get a gold metal rather than silver. Edited June 8, 201412 yr by Dreadhead Report
June 8, 201412 yr comment_639836 Jealous! I'm just hoping to skip out for a short ride this afternoon before I pack and get on a plane to head for rainy VA tomorrow. Report
June 8, 201412 yr Author comment_639844 Nice overcast ride this morning. Did a couple bridge repeats. Egad. That wasn't pretty. Report
June 8, 201412 yr comment_639849 When are you going to come to Chattanooga and ride? The flat roads are worse than the bridges. You'll <3 the pain! Bring Raffy, he can pull you up the hills. **BRENT** Report
June 9, 201412 yr comment_640004 Any of the local guys know the best place to rent a MTB for Colin? Big Wheel Bikes seems to be about the best I have found. Report
June 9, 201412 yr comment_640045 Sorry Jeff no help, i've never rented a bike in this area. ..... Report
June 9, 201412 yr comment_640053 Same here though I think a video of Colin riding a Capital Bikeshare bike on a trail would be epic Edited June 9, 201412 yr by Dreadhead Report
June 9, 201412 yr comment_640058 I can't help with a mountain bike but a road bike I can probably lend depending on size. Report
June 10, 201412 yr comment_640059 Road should be easy but I think Colin is trying to decide between a full suspension or a carbon fiber HT from Big Wheel for the Saturday MTB ride. Report

June 10, 201412 yr comment_640071 We are talking about doing an early Rock Creek Park road bike ride on Sunday as well. Report
June 10, 201412 yr comment_640141 I'm busy Saturday but if the Sunday road ride happens I should be able to make that Report
June 11, 201412 yr comment_640188 At this point I think it is happening, but that depends on how we are after the MTB excursion I guess. Got to try out the lights tonight. Brighter than I had expected and after a short ride the lights are able to stay lit up for a good ten minutes which will be helpful at stop lights and signs. The install turned out nicely outside of brake cables getting in the way of some of the beam. Report
June 11, 201412 yr comment_640192 All this fuss about lights. Seriously? What happened to good, old fashioned night vision specs? The green glow .. the tracer tracks ... the time delay .. Report

June 11, 201412 yr comment_640205 I already have two sets of NV, I had no dynamos and I only like stuff that is shiny and new. Report
June 11, 201412 yr comment_640247 Civil War Century registration is open and this year's 102mi ride supposedly has about 10,816 feet of climbing due to some rerouting this year. Report
June 11, 201412 yr comment_640248 I may be interested. I really need to start riding more and eating/drinking less..... Report
June 11, 201412 yr comment_640249 I did 30 miles of the century ride last year. I am hoping to do better this year It was a last minute thing last year as i got a call from a friend that his wife was not going the day before. I took the steel Serotta with a compact crankset and 12-25 in the back. I was really hurting for a 28 in the back. Ha ha This year i will stack the deck a bit as I am taking a CF bike with compact/12-30... The climbing takes place within through initial 70 miles. This year the route is a bit different because of some road work. No Antietam. Having said that i don't think i will be able to keep pace with you guys. ..... Report

I'm bringing a compact/11-32 for the Diabolical Double, so you're not going to hear anything from me regarding your compact setup Report
June 11, 201412 yr comment_640306 every year I lose more than I gain it seems. I just went for a bike ride on a rail trail on the salsa, and 8 miles wore me out. Report
