It has taken a lot of work to build up the endurance! I became sick in february for 3 weeks and basically lost a lot of the work i had put in over the winter so it took almost 2 months to get back to feeling good

The 1.2 is solid! I like Madones but when i upgrade to carbon i will probably go with a european brand. Lots of nice ones out there.

Ahh I see. That's great then! Do you do any races?

Yeah, but it's shifters are old school
That's true. It's going to cost a shia tonne though

Nah, he's not a climber. He's a noob.

You need to come out here man! Put you on these Gran Fondo rides or You could do the Levi ride out in Cali! !

Im still nursing a sore right hamstring I have to give up softball until the fondo is over. The twitch required due to instant go is not good for the hammy

That Levi ride is INSANE.

I haven't been on my road bike in like two weeks, I was out of town last weekend, and this weekend well... just no motivation. I did MTB a bit on Friday though. I need to replace my Front Derailleur shift cable though... which means replacing the grips, and well I might as well replace the rear cable too, but I think that's routed internally, so probably not something I'll do myself. ugh.

Im registered for this one:

http://www.granfondony​.com/course.php

The race is on the 4 timed climbs. I have no shot at those prizes because professionals from around the world are registered as well. Finishing with my teammates is good enough for me

Whats wrong with your shifters?

Yeah although i might get a "deal" on a pinarello in a few months. We shall see

The Levi ride makes me puke looking at it !

Damn on not being out there No rides to register for in your area? That is what truly keep me going during the year.

How was the MTB? I did some cyclocross today...not by choice on my bike

What is happening with your front derailleur?

This is my Birthday post. 1,994!

Yeah.

Not right now, there was that 3 day 325 miles / 22k feet of climbing ride this past weekend, but yeah well... I think you know what I didn't do that.

Most of the rides here are in the fall.

MTB'ing was good, it made me want to get a nice MTB. But yeah, I've been there where you have to cyclocross on a road bike, no fun.

I was adjusting the cable and it just started to fray a bit.

Last year we had team BMC 15-time Tour de France veteran George Hincapie, who was born in queens, participate. He was the only one allowed to be in a non GFNY jersey for obvious reasons and was on his team issued BMC. You can see him below right at the front of last years start .

Um yeah on that 325/22k ! I like living

Damn. For us hear the rides start in May and go through early October.

NIce! Are you going to go for a MTB?

That blows on the cable. Shouldnt be too much to have it done at the shop.

Exactly.

Ah, yeah too hot here.

I think so.. I just don't know if it will be before or after a road bike. I want a Tri bike somewhere in that mix too.

Yeah, it should be pretty cheap, I'll just be without my bike for a bit, it still works fine right now, I just don't want to get stranded somewhere without a working front derailleur.
