Ahh, I remember the Coors.  Good stuff - a new one would be sweet indeed.

It's official:

Still bummed I missed the chance to ride today.  There were a few hundred cyclists who showed up.  City streets were closed for the 15ish mile ride.

Got the other bike out for (equivalent to Randimus' warm-up or the distance CrazyBikeGirl rides for a burrito) 50 miles.

It was a very cool event.  Hopefully the new one is similar!

A re-run of the Morgul-Bismark stage took place earlier this year.

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.

damn you guys!  Stella has been pushing me to getting a roadie.  Now she can say, "look at all the other DMF'rs that have them"  [bang]

And here, two years later...

Look at you...

Almost to the point of Crazy Bike Boy!

Nice Bick! [thumbsup]  It's been a while since my last burrito run, and I'll probably just be riding on the trainer for a little while to come.

Hoping for a little trip planning help. I'll be in Greely Co for a week and a half. I'm taking the MTB and was wondering what the most scenic ride within a few hours of Loveland would be. I  have hiked out there enough to understand that the thin air will slow me down, but I'd like a ride with tremendous views. Anybody with FHE?

Post up in the MHM section or PM when you get in town, we can get a group together.

Manny is in Loveland, and he is a little into biking.

I'm not too familiar with the stuff around Ft. Collins, Greeley or Loveland, but still within an hour or so you can be into Longmont, Lyons, Boulder and:

Hall Ranch
Heil Valley
Betasso
Walker Ranch
Marshall Mesa

Just a little farther south (still in your range)...

White Ranch
Green Mountain
Apex

It's Colorado.  Regardless of where you go, it will be scenic!

Thanks.  Starting to put decent miles on it again.

8 years old, but still love it!

You're riding an Odonata, right?  (as I lust!  [drool])

Same situation here really.  The bike never really saw much action while in Hawaii, but have taken it out on a couple of longer rides now that I have gotten it unpacked and assembled here in DC.

Mine's an id8, which (iirc) replaced the Odonata.  Looks like something new is in their catalog now though.  There is normally no way that I would have been able to drop the dime for one of these things, but I ran into a stupid deal at one of the bike shops in Honolulu.

I know what you mean.

I did have mine built for me, and still got a decent deal on it.

Since I got mine, prices have skyrocketed.  There is no way I could afford a new one now!

Yep.  Mine is custom, just not to me.  Although the guy who originally had it built up had measurements almost identical to mine (I saw the build sheet before buying).  Well, the original buyer backed out and I was happy to reap the rewards.   [thumbsup]

Here it is again:

I'll probably take you up on that. Always better to have a trail guide. I leave Singapore on Friday and hope to have plans sorted out for the trip by the middle of next week. I'll post something up and see when I'll be available for riding.

Yeah, definitely post up in MHM. 

Depending on your trip dates, Stella and I may be able to join.  Fresh Pants as well.

I just learned that Laurent Fignon passed away at 50, after a year-long bout with cancer.

"Le Professeur" was one of the greatest riders of his time, a two time winner of the Tour de France & finished second to Greg Lemond in '89, in one of the most exciting Tours in history. He was one of the huge figures in bike racing right when I was busy falling in love with the sport.

Rest in peace, Professor.
