That's a good way to look at it COS! I dig it!

Hope you can still visit us from over there..

Well this morning was a beautiful morning for a ride. No wind to fight. And w/the new bike I shaved 3 mins off my time.

 

 

That’s disturbing

 

Let's see what you can do in the wind this afternoon.

 

After shaving my legs, I should be able to knock off another 20 mins off my ride. They are HAIRY!

 

TMI Alex...

 

x2

 

lol i shave mine for in the pool and while on the bike if you crash hairy legs make it 10x's worse! How long was the ride?

 

Yeah, pulling a band aid off a injured hairy leg is no bueno. It's a little over 8 miles, but there is lot's of stopping from all the traffic crossing. I was doing 32 mins on my cross bike, today I did 29 mins. My new bike has a 39/53 so that's a challenge now. My cross was a 36/46.

 

BIg Ring all the way!!!

btw here is some encouragement, lance does Mt. Lemon in tucson in his big ring all the way up:





i did this and it took a little bit to get up. it is hard as crap!!! but going down i went the fastest i have ever been on a bike. 59 mph top speed 47 mph average on the downhill. It was awesome!!!





we have a 16 mile climb here in southern new mexico that looks something like this:

 

OMG dude, that's insane lol...

I'm trying to stay on the big ring as much as I can, but it's way harder! I was on the 46 on my cross about 90% of the time unless there was a steep hill...

 

yes i know what you mean, i went from a compact which is a 39/50 to a full which is a 46/53 and it was a hard switch. i missed having that 39 small ring haha


btw check out my other post i edited with some info

 

That's sick!! I try to stay on the big ring for my ride, but it's pretty flat...ain't I a stud?? LOL!!

 

You're a stud regardless COS lol.. Wait til you get you a roadie!

Damn dude, your small ring was my big ring lol.. Well we'll see how I adjust. I've only started roading this year, and got back into riding (MTB) in general, about 3 yrs ago..

 

Since were on the subject of cycling, I just read about this today...
