Re: Free form/Chaos Thread 85 BILLION a month in Monopoly money tends to devalue. Back in the 80's you could get like 10K yen for a dollar. I guess comedy works in the Chaos.

Re: Very nice. I would love to ride that scenery. Where is this? I am glad I don't live in the city. Nothing like the countryside to ride and enjoy.

My shots are up to date. According to the police the owner has shot records for the dog. It is healing well but puncture wounds to muscle tissue stay sore for quite some time. It took better than a week for the bruising to clear up. A friend asked me why I always carried the spray. I told him...

I stopped a short distance down the road to get a picture and survey the damage. It took a couple kicks to the head for the dog to lose the will to continue. My first though was to figure my shortest route home to retrieve a weapon to kill this dog. While I was taking a picture of my leg a lady...

It's been a trial to actually get to ride this year. I will get 3 days where I ride and then a week or more that work, weather or something else interrupts. I have called it the new bike curse. Two weeks ago I went out for a ride. I was about a mile from the house when I realized I had left my...

During a downhill section of the Tour of Utah I watched a rider pedal while in this position. My thought ..I really like not having road rash. I won't attempt this ever. For the condition of some of the roads they were riding, It was like holding a beer for the guy who said "Hold my beer and...

Peter!! You shouldn't goose a guy about to do an interview.

I am just hoping that NBCSN gets another set of commercials. Hannah and her horse, the Cadillac and anti smoking things are tiring. Anyone recognize the city from the Cadillac commercial? I will pick Sagan. He seems to be doing ok on the lower climbs. He should be there towards the end. It...

Went out for a relaxing ride between storms. Rode about 30 miles. Stopped at a nice spot that has a view. Thought I would share it. This has to be why I enjoy riding. You get to see the surrounding area. Not just drive through it. You get to be part of it. I wonder if the guys in the pro races...

I think there is a conspiracy to keep me off my bike. Since my last ride I have been working 12 hours a day 6 days a week and half days on Sunday. It finally eased up this week and the rain has set in. Thunderstorms all week. I don't mind a little light rain. But I am not going out in...

Went for a little ride down the road. There is one of the popular sights of the South East there. These barns can been seen through out the area. The heat today was quite oppressive. 96 F with 45% humidity. It was a mid day ride. I had to return to work after the ride. It's hard to enjoy a ride...

It's the Rubaix SL-4. I have only put about 400 miles on it. Moved to it from a Pinnarello FP1.

Road over the hill behind my house to get a picture of the valley on the other side. 93 degrees out with a good amount of humidity. We call these days triple H weather. Hazy Hot and Humid. Oh yeah that hill is 1000 ft of elevation and 4 miles to the top. Makes for a bit of a sweat but worth the...

First post for me on this board. I have been reading many parts of it for about a year or so. I finally decided to post something. I have had a horrible time this year finding time to get out on the roads. Seems as though every time I get a few rides in something interrupts my plans. I was...
