Where did he go?

I bought a Fuji Rubaix off craigslist for $450, but it was a 58 cm and just a tad too big, Colin had this fuji team pro carbon frame laying around so we did a frame swap.

The plan is to slowly change the drive train out to a mix of ultegra and dura ace as i come across some deals. So far i have about $600 in this bike, but i plan to drop big coin on a wheelset and drivetrain like i mentioned.

Harrison, you should check out the shop i posted, colin always has some shit he could put together for you.

Congrats! A century is no joke! My furthest last season was 42 miles and it was brutal. I haven't ridden since September though. Got married in Nov, effed my back up shortly after, amd the spring has been home renovation before the baby boy arrives!

That was my story, we had a kid, bought a house, and i hadnt been in the saddle for 3 years. I bought this bike in march, and put about 250 miles on it before this. it was no joke for real. around 46 miles is when i was done. around 70 my body started shutting down, by 86 i was in a daze, and the last leg was luckily all flat through ponder/justin rolling into TMS.

I picked up a Felt F1 from a board member and put 500-600 miles on it I think. I was riding 100 miles/week minimum when my back gave out. Hopefully I can get back into the swing of it. I rode the Cotton Patch challenge last year, the short course, and told myself my goal for this year was the hotter n hell.....not gonna happen! :/

I support this thread hijack. I won't pull my bikes back out until grad school is done in December, but I can tell you that when it comes to full (non-metric) centuries a beer or two around mile 70 / 85 really help

Bad ass man. I may check it out. But between buying and building guns, working on my Z car, buying tires for my truck, cash is pretty tight right now. I would have to find a deal that I couldn't pass up. I've rode nice bikes before and I'm surely missing out.

You monster. Warm shook up Guinness.

Here's half my California ride, was a blast. 130 miles right on the coast
No kit needed

^ Nice ride, I've driven that very road, very scenic.

Harrison whats your beef with kits, lol?

HA. I don't have a serious beef. And honestly I'm wearing riding shorts under my shorts in that costal pic. I do just see kits mostly unnecessary. If I'm riding 45+ I'll kit up. But people put 100% of their shit on for 10 mile rides and it's laughable.

Example. I tagged you in that brewery tour. Well last year they did fort worth. The entire thing was like 12 miles, with 2-4 mile rides between brewery's. Dudes were doing it on lowrider bikes. Literally 2" off the ground. Yet there were still people in full kit. Gloves, pads, carrying 3/4 of a gallon of water like they're going to be 10 miles from a faucet. I think I was in flip flops.

was that the FW Brew Crew? they were out in full force for this ride. I would like to link up with them. There is a guy Tony Tennant that pulled me through my entire first alley cat race, nothing like being on a fixed gear on your home turf, getting drug by a gray haired guy who has no clue where he is going riding a 29er.

You clowns decide to make a team for HnH or a diff century count me in. I'm 3 years since I did two Half ironman's and I need to get back into shape. 56 miles is no joke when it's sandwiched between a lil swim and a 13.1 mile death jog. I'm going to try that distance again in November too and try to be faster.

This thread just motivated me to go for a short jog, thanks.

Anthony, let me know if you still need that engine hoist some time, you can PM me about it.

Maybe next year for HnH. No chance of me being in shape for that beating this year. I keep hoping the constant work around the house slows so I can log some miles, but with the kiddo do in July, I am trying to get as much done as possible
