how slow am I?

[caligurl]

Thanks for the good wishes, Cali, but I am not riding the Death Ride or any of the other doubles I had planned for the rest of the year. Or the FC 508.

3 - 6 months off the bike. I had to buy trail running shoes.

DUH..... what a dunce i am... i read that thread.... and i read what you wrote wrong.... i ead it that you were riding but slowly.... dunce dunce dunce! (me that is... not you!)

[caligurl]

I don't believe a human can ride a 24% grade...

not the whole thing... portions of it.... we had a discussion about the course on here before i did the ride... and folks who live in redlands who had ridden the hills on the course were quite familiar with the grades....

I prefer to just go on believing that you are super-human caligurl.

I am so tired of these constant comparisons of speed.......

Aw, c'mon, you want to know who you are faster than.

This thread is too serious for the subject matter, eh?

(I believe) she just wants to be faster than herself at the last TT. Respectable goal. Me, too!!!

I am on very heavy duty anti-coagulants. Any cut and I'll bleed a lot more than most. I have crashed my bike several times in the past. I ride fairly aggressively. Any crash with a head bump (even with a helmet) could cause me to bleed profusely under my skull, lowering my GPA.

It's a risk benefit thing. Sure I haven't crashed in the last year (well, since Tucson, but that wasn't my fault). But if I did crash it could be catastrophic. So, sadly, not worth it.

My (very unathletic) doctor was talking about how I could ride on a bike path at an easy pace, etc. Sorry. No offense to anyone here, but to me where I am right now, that's not riding. So I will simply do some major cross-training for the next few months....

Gotcha!

pkq, (in my best Canadian) eh yep. Got a flat on tonight's TT though. Kind of hard to go fast and pump air at the same time. I was feeling sooooo good, too.

Cuz she is not to be trusted with a bike at the moment.

Have you upset the cycling gods. First HOT HOT weather and now a flat. Perhaps you need to make an offering. I hear that they like good looking husbands.
