    I also want you to know I was howling with laughter when you posted this, due to the fact I thought you would catch it sooner and knew you would question it's nature. Bahahahahaha.

    BWAHHHHhahahah HAH.....I thought maybe you named your bike Fred, and that 'Fred' was making your quads burn!

    Or that maybe you thought you WERE 'a Fred':
    fred:
    1) n. a person who spends a lot of money on his bike and clothing, but still can't ride. "What a fred -- too much Lycra and titanium and not enough skill." Synonym for poser. Occasionally called a "barney".
    2) n. a person who has a mishmash of old gear, does't care at all about technology or fashion, didn't race or follow racing, etc. Often identified by chainring marks on white calf socks. Used by "serious" roadies to disparage utility cyclists and touring riders, especially after these totally unfashionable "freds" drop the "serious" roadies on hills because the "serious" guys were really posers. This term is from road touring and, according to popular myth, "Fred" was a well-known grumpy old touring rider, who really was named Fred.
    And I'll have you know I have been reading all the posts! It's just that my remaining brain cells are aging!
