Got an e-mail from Seven.

To replace my head tube and braise on the disc mount on the chain stay (and related work) will be about the same price as a new frame.

No disc brakes for me.
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Good thing they make a non-disc version of R45 hubs.   :D
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Thinking my Ultegra hubs will have to do for now...

Until I win the lottery and get a Mosaic. [evil] ;D

They did fine for my 18 miles today (because there a laws against not riding when it is 70F in February.)

Hate you so much right now.  It was 31° when we started this morning, and had gotten into the mid-50s by the time we hit mile 50.  The last few miles were quite "juicy" due to being over dressed.

If it makes you feel better, there were still a few muddy patches and even still some snow & ice on the trail.

;D

Anyone else on here running Strava?

Pretty happy with MapMyRide.

But I don't need much...  Just this lamp...  And maybe this chair...

Anyone have any experience with roller trainers?

I shall try that tomorrow [thumbsup]

Any luck?

These might also be worth looking into:  http://www.skratchlabs.com/collections/food/products/the-feed-zone-cookbook and http://www.skratchlabs.com/collections/food/products/feed-zone-portables  Yes, you'd have to make your own meals/snacks, but both of these books focus on easy to make recipes.  And they have a lot of GF options.

My stomach.

I can't eat prior to going on long rides because anything I put in me wants to exit me not long after being in me.

Early morning rides prior to eating work best, but I run out of energy way too soon. I'm currently working on the righ combination on ride timing and energy food intake to extend speed and distance.


Just seeing this.  There are a lot of endurance athletes (my ironman nutritionist included) using Infinit Performance and attest to the company's claim of "zero gut issues".  Just started using it myself - not for that specific purpose fortunately, but for their other benefits.

You can custom order a mix or buy pre-made.

So far so good here!  Good luck!

Got up early, ate a light b-fast, let things settle then went out and did a much easier 50 miles. Tried some chocolate mint thing that LM got me. Tasted OK but was like eating a dry sponge. I don't recall the brand, but I know to avoid the wrapper if I see it again :P
Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project. 

So I went solo.  -Me

You're not supposed to eat those kind.
