Add 12 minutes and 3 miles.... forgot to start till we got to the bottom of the first climb

Not my best performance.. but totes respectable, for de Ronde.

Tomorrow will be worse.... (another 50 miles and 8,000', on the other side of town)

KRhea - tell your wife I wasn't doubting her directions.... I just really really wanted to make sure I understood. BTW - still totally want to rap with you about Team Fairweather. Obviously isn't happening this season, but next season for sure

Yo "Dead", what time did you roll by our cookie stop? It must of been before I arrived. I did our club ride out in Hillsboro then came to the rest stop until we shut down.

Do you know how to curb-stand it against the pedal? Same principle, just with some odd piece of trash, rock, or helmet

[vqdriver]

yeah, thought of that but nothing really to use where i was. didn't think of the helmet tho.

My personal best on this route, soloed 40.1 miles of rollers in wine country in 1 hour 53 minutes. Was a fun ride with a lot of "C'mon legs" shouting. Damn it was windy too, especially the second half. remembered to eat midway, helped a lot for the last climb which sometimes stops me like a wall.

terrain is pretty much just like this, rollers up and down, with 2 good climbs and one nasty, windy flat at the end just before the last (biggest) climb. Next time I'll do it in reverse, start with the climb, and see how that goes.
Really pretty day in Southern Oregon.

Seems any time I get new shoes or a new bike, I'm due for a crash... today I had new shoes AND a new bike. Don't ask me why I wasn't thinking about that coming into that right hand curve at 24mph. Whole right side is pretty chewed up, but nothing justifiably keeping me from racing tomorrow....

Riding this bika is kinda like wearing yellow shoes. If you know what I mean


When did ridiculous, overpriced race rigs become Fred?

Our midweek Wednesday group ride...

Video:

[choke]

It was a gorgeous day and I went out for a bit of dirt and gravel.








I was rolling along at a good clip, taking advantage of the gift of gravity when I came upon a narrow spot in the road that was in the shade. Around 15-20 feet away I saw something and thought "WTH is that?"..... and about half a second later I realized what it was. He was stretched out at an angle across the road so I didn't have a lot of room to pass. He was kind enough to hang around and let me get a pic or two.



And remember....

[Dead Man]

Did some serial suffering yesterday... short, but nasty course, out there at Montinore.

5th in my field.. starting to inch up... very slowly.. probs not gonna see the podium till I lose that spare tire.
