well that's the "roll call" - i'm interested in a place where we can post ride reports. and heckle. heckling is key.

[MattTuck]

You just taking a screen shot? mine doesn't come out very well. Think because I have dual monitors.

Weather was good, but cool. Maybe, high 60s.

I'm going to start doping so I can KOM some of these segments. Paging Dr. Ferari.


PS. Come up to New Hampshire, I'll show you some real hills ;)

I'm just coming back to life Matt - the goal is to do a VT six-gap in a few months. you should be in on that action.

haha, I know you are, Nick. I thought you wanted people to heckle you since you put yourself out there. Honestly, that kind of chamois time (4 hours +) is nothing to sneeze at. Longer than my usual rides, that's for sure.

6 gaps is serious. I might do it over 2 days :P unless I lose 40 pounds before you attempt it. Lugging my ass over big climbs like that is not my idea of a good time!

[thwart]

OK, I'll play.

No GPS on-board for today's ride (semi-recovery pace), but yesterday:

are you looking for heckling? if so... you have a lot of North South and East/West roads...

On a more serious note. There isn't much flat stuff is there??? lots of ups and downs!

[thwart]

On a more serious note. There isn't much flat stuff is there??? lots of ups and downs!Yeah... Southwestern Wisconsin is full of short steep hills. It seems like our longest climb yesterday was about a half-mile or so.

[AngryScientist]

thwart - what was your set-up for gathering that data?

[thwart]

This...

as soon as i get into summer shape, i'll get in on this too... and heckling, i'm good at that ;)

Dude! What are you talking about? summer shape??? I've seen the rides you do... our heckles will be like "Hey Bennet, why didn't you get 3 KOMs instead of just 2?? slacker."

[benitosan1972]

apparently, you're a good heckler already... ok, very well, it's on! :banana:

*i've gained a few pounds and lost a few seconds since i've been in school FT,
i'm strictly on weekend warrior status until 2013, but i'll post something good soon

oh wait, i did a fixed gear/brakeless alleycat over the weekend, didn't win, but
i don't know too many 44yr olds who would even try stuff like this, go ahead heckle! :no:

Best part of this is to know where to attack thwart. And I don't mean just where, I mean how: hide behind the tree at the top of his main climb, shoot him with Shimano-made taser gun and steal his bike.

:beer:

You know, it has been a VERY long time since I last saw a corn cob ....

[thwart]

Me too. I'd be walking. Probably even on the flats...

That's a 13-26.

Shoulda been a 13-29... :help:

[AngryScientist]

, go ahead heckle! :no:



ahem: 900 feet of elevation over 50 miles - yaaaawn.

[benitosan1972]

^i told you i was outta shape! ;)

*fixed, brakeless, 2hrs amid stupid crazy traffic

[AngryScientist]

this weekend's nonsense. add 10 miles to the total, started GPS late in the game.

Nick,

Your altimeter must be broken, it says you only climb 584 feet over 100+ miles. :cool:

ok, here we go... let the heckling begin.

my ride is nothing to make fun off, but for a short time, you can see my ugly mug, with the results of me getting stung twice in the bottom lip.

I was lucky to be close to home, and just cut the ride short, but soon it swelled to comic proportions.



This is me normal, for reference.

I'd be pouting too, if someone made fun of my 118 mile ride just because it wasn't hilly. ;)

[benitosan1972]

My driveway > 584ft... I climb that much just to get the mail ;)
