Anybody ever race criterium?

I have. I don't like them much because there are too many accelerations and too much fighting for position. Give me a nice road race, any day! I raced a lot in Italy, but the U.S. system doesn't appeal to me much.

Weather allowing, I head for my second mountain bike race tonight. I was dead last last week, but I finished. I'm going to take that as success.

 

[Road Guy]

we will pray to the old gods and the new gods for success for you in the tourny tonight!

My son has a friend coming to visit in a few weeks, he wants to do some "light' mountain biking.. I will probably have to rent him a bike fro REI or something..

Do either you (Or FLBUFF) know anywhere in the mountains that offers some light duty mountain biking (trails mainly) that would be good for kids in the 12-15 age? We have done the ones near Boulder, but wanted to go into a mountain town and spend the day? I cant really tell from their rating system something that would be" easy" ??

It's going to seem like I work for Winter Park, having recommended them for skiing in the winter and now for mountain biking.

You can rent a bike up there and you can ride the lift. More expensive than finding trails, but a little easier on the flatland kid.

I also remember going to Beaver Meadows as a kid:

Not so much mountain town for you there.

 

[Road Guy]

the $100 bucks a kid X 4 will make WP out of reach.(by the time they rent bikes + gear). looking for free! But one day I would love to ride their park, we saw the tressells while we were skiing, but I dont think my Trek bikes would hold up there..

Beaver Meadows or somethign similar would work out well I think.

I assume the vail pass would be a no no for a kid from Ga?

How much does he want to brag when he gets home?

Rammed my groin into my handlebar stem/top tube last night when a sharp corner didn't go quite the way I was expecting it to go. I think I broke The Queen.

This is why I ride recumbents on the road.

You named your junk?

 

[roadwreck]

I've made a huge mistake...

...I signed up for a 65 mile bike ride. I really don't ride much, at least not that kind of distance on a real bike. I run, lots, and go to spin classes usually twice a week. I was coerced by friends and enticed with goodies, including some of those "faggotty clothes", to sign up for the ride. There was an option for a ~40 mile ride, but that seemed to easy. Now I'm looking at the 65 mile course and thinking I should have opted for the "easy" ride.

I guess I should pay a little more attention to my calendar before signing up for these sorts of things. I just realized that I'm registered for this ride on a Saturday and a 10 mile race the very next day. Maybe I should find a swimming event to participate in on Friday and I could complete my very own three day triathlon.

Like you haven't named your junk.

The Queen is a lazy diva who must be whipped into shape and only time in the saddle will save her. God save The Queen.

Now there's some good advice! lusone:

Busted out 32.6 miles today. I'm tired.

 

[csb]

Do not ride longer than an hour without some sort of lube, I beg of you–be nice to your Queen!

Also good advice.

Nice job, wilheldp! How was the water situation.

 

[wilheldp_PE]

Just went with water and had plenty. I'm a little dehydrated right now, but not too bad.

Is Hooha Ride Glide an actual product?

If it's not, it should be!

^How can you be sure you cover everything you need to? Do you have to ask for someone to apply it for you?

 

[csb]

You just smear it on the chamois. That thing will creep up everywhere it needs to be.

And YMZ, I think it's called "Hoobie Lube."

Sounds better than Cooter Butter.
