Funny thing this time was that they didn't even move the brush pile I left and simply created a braid around the blocked braid. Amazing what these fucktards can come up with!:evil:

Third day out on the road bike today. Decided to take a new route. Looked great on the map. Learned that 16.5% grade for 200 vertical REALLY sucks ass when you are out of shape! Nearing the top of the hill, I came over the ridge and saw that the pavement turned to dirt. DOH! My loop became an out and back instead. But on the bright side, I beat the rain home.
In other news, I finally got cycling shorts and a jersey. Was actually surprised the chamois was not more substantial. Still won't be going back, though. :lol: Nice having pockets in the jersey for food. Need to loose all the weight I put on over the summer though, good motivation!

I got out again this morning....Had a relatively early meeting so I only did a short hill ride. About 40 mins..but pretty much all hills, non-stop. Makes 6 out of the last 7....and we're getting out again tomorrow morning before work. Also, I'll be riding up at Minnewaska on Saturday...The wife and I are going to New Paltz for the weekend.

16.5% grade for 200 vert sucks ass no matter what shape you're in. Remember what Greg Lemond said- It never gets easier, you just get faster.

4/22: Nass - 7-ish miles
I'm actually debating if I'm going to bother keeping track this year. I probably will, but at the end of the season, it's not going to matter. I'm going to just try and squeeze rides in when I can and ride as far and as fast as possible during my windows of opportunity.

Admitting defeat already??? :razz:

I do that at the start of most races. Makes the inevitable defeat much easier to take :dunce:

Perhaps. I just know that this season is going to be limited to twice a week max. Just insanely busy on a lot of levels...
Just busting dude. I hope to get out on the bike with you soon.

It's a rigid, but it's sick.
Now if I can only get Brian to stop pinching my ass.
I can't wait to convert it to SS. 8)

True. But if I can get to the top of that 200 vert twice as fast, then I won't half to stop halfway up to suck wind. :roll: Turning around to clip in and then turning back up hill is teh suck.

Got out again this morning with a few buddies before work. Another beautiful day and our local trails are riding great! Today made 7 out of 8 days for me and the wife and I are riding up at Minnewaska State Park tomorrow. Not sure if any of you have ever ridden there...no single track...more like rough carriage roads but spectacular scenery on a nice 13 mile loop. I got my old Gary Fisher Hardtail up and running for tomorrow too! First time in about 5 years on that rig. Rim brakes and a crappy fork..but otherwise that bike is a really solid ride. I am thinking about getting a nice fork for it...but I'm saving up for a new set of wheels for the road bike first....I'm thinking of getting the Ksyrium SL's. My LBS quoted me a good deal....
