Sorry guys my post was written tongue in cheek. I am not a failure. Nor do I have any desire to read anything written by either Lance Armstrong or Johan Bruyneel. Maybe I might if I need a good laugh. I don't really care what JB's secret sauce is, nor do I think it will make anyone...

I feel your pain saddlesaw. I joined this forum last year a couple of weeks before the Dauphine Libere to ask a question about a stage I had seen a couple of years prior. I came on here with only vague memories of the stage but many people were very helpful with where they thought it took...

All my life I have been a failure and now it has become crystal clear why. I have never read any of LA's or JB's books. Man after reading the above marketing fodder spewed forth by JB I am now going to have to run out and find this jewel. Business world lookout because I now will be armed...

I hit a bird with one of my pedals. Flew right into me and then flew off the other direction. When I lived in central Florida I used to ride this area that had two Irish Setters that loved to come out and run along side me for a little bit and than turn around and run back home. This one...

So far I have spent most of my time at the Bikely site. A very good one indeed. Thanks again Race Radio. RDV4ROUBAIX that Rapha site looks like a good one too. I can see myself spending hours reading all that they have written. Thanks for that one.

Thanks Race Radio I will check those out right now. 8

I apologize up front if this has already been asked or discussed before. I did a search and came up with 20+ pages. After looking through the first 3-4 I decided it might be easier (for me anyway) if I just started a thread. My question: After reading the thread on the possibility of a...

If you like Joe you should check out Eric Johnson, Derek Trucks, Jimmy Herring, Matt Schofield, & Philip Sayce. Just to name a few. There is a really good DVD of Joe playing at Pierre's in Ft. Wayne Indiana can't remember what it is called but it is worth a watch.

I was not. Thank You for sharing. I will get busy perusing it. When I lived in Orlando (actually Clermont which a very nice place to ride) I did a lot more riding then I do now. But then again I didn't have family constraints. Not that I am complaining. And it was much more enjoyable...

Sounds like a good ride!! But by LA I think he meant Louisiana. Not Los Angeles. Just a guess though.

Tampa Bay area. But you could really add all of central Florida as I have ridden just about all of it. But it seems like a lot of the cyclists in the Tampa Bay area are clueless (then again so are the people so what are ya gonna do!!). Not all mind you.

Very good point. I am estimating that there were about thirty or so riders. Could have been been a couple more or less. But no where near 100. I don't want to sound like a jerk but I'd like to know where you get your estimation of 100 cyclists in a pace line being 1000' long. I would estimate...

I am pretty sure that is not what I said. My point is after a car passes me I do not go to the front of the line at a stop light making them have to pass me again. Unless there is a bike lane then it is a moot point because they would not of had any difficulties passing me in the first place...

Boy I couldn't agree with this more. Here is what I love, you've got 30 or so riders doing a double pace line taking up an entire lane. You are the fourth or fifth car in line waiting to get around them. Finally you get to pass them but wait you come to a red light and here they all come...
