    The bike in that commercial is hanging in my garage. I'll probably be riding it tomorrow. I need to save most of my energy for an event I have Sunday though.

      I use to put in about 100 a week on a df until I broke my right arm in 4 places and my pinkie smooth in two at the knuckle. I looove riding and still do it just a little different. I need to try a df again and see if it still hurts my right arm to ride. It sucks not to be able to lock out. I have been riding since I was very young and I still enjoy the rush at 39. I have to break it up now though. When the weather is right I swim once a week, bike two to three times a week, and lift two days a week. I take breaks some weeks but then kick myself for it. I let myself go from ehhh say 19-28 or so and was 367 pounds and over 50 percent body fat. Now I am lighter then I was in high school and way stronger. Biking helped me alot lose most of the major pounds. This is how I roll now, dont let the relaxed look fool ya she is pretty fast and very aero. I am not gonna lie I do miss my team bike with full Dura Ace but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I always wanted a Colnago and may build one up of these days if i can get back on one of these.

        Most of the people who work at RBM are morons.

            Monte Zoncolan (22% max grade)


            TT Plan de Corones - Giro de Italia
            One of those very difficult days will be the Stage 16 San Vigilio di Marebbe to Plan de Corones individual TT of 12.85 km. The average grade is 8.5% and reaches a maximum grade of 24%; the summit is at 2,273 meters. To make things more interesting it just happens that the final kilometers are unpaved.

              Jesus....

              I've got a friend soon to sell me his Trek 2.3 for a pretty decent price... I'm looking forward to finally being able to ride regularly.

              The bug hit me when I was in Seattle but that was pointless 9 mo a year.

                    Picked it up today and went on my first ride - 17mi. Kinda beat me for having not worked out or done anything in 6mo.

                    Conditioning to see if I can do the Hotter-n-Hell in September..

                        It's in August this year. If anyone wants to get a group together to do it, I can be there. I've never ridden 100 miles, but I'm pretty damn certain I can make the Hells Gate cutoff time and finish.

                          I always want to ride. I'm getting about 50 miles a week now. I'll be approaching 100 by the end of May I hope. I should be good for 100 miles a week all summer long. I'll probably do some 100K organized rides too this year.

                          I'm planning to do the short route at the RBM May Wild Ride. I don't want to go over the dam and cut tires like a ton do on my road bike. I'll probably just do the 16 mile route and see how fast I can go.

                          In June there is the Peach Pedal out west and the Goatneck in Cleburne. I'll probably ride 50 or so for each of these.

                          I'm also considering the HtH in August.

                          I don't do triathlons in July and August because I don't want to die in the heat running, so I do more rides.

                          I'm game for almost any ride.

                            I'm in for pretty much anything as well...

                              There is a good ride in Muenster next weekend. Usually windy, and some nice hills. I will be doing the 60k there. Peach Pedal is a good one, as is the honey tour.

                              Where abouts do you live. I am always looking for more people to ride with.

                              • I live in Oak Cliff. I want to do the Muenster ride but our vacation starts that weekend. My son also has a triathlon that day. Then we go to the airport.

                                I try and ride 20-25 miles every weekend all year round.
