    Going Old School today. Alan has got both his bikes in states of repair, so he pulled out his Javelin (Al frame, Carbon forks). So I pulled out the 2004 Orbea Orca. After the rained cleared out,... read more

      Maybe? Mentioned 2014 to wifey and after being a bike widow when I went across in '10, she's not a big fan. Very supportive, but there are limits. But '16 is eons away. So maybe. Let me know when this becomes locked and you need firm committments. What about BP?

      Way to go Jeff! Call it first place!! Proud of you. Live vicariously through your races. Love how you show the "big boys". Who was that guy??!! Crazy story about Alan's axle. Never heard of that happening.

      Thanks all. It was a fun ride. Jules, you definitely should go. It's a pretty easy-going organized ride. There are some better supported ones and some much hillier ones out there, but I just have a soft place in my heart for this one.

      Way to persevere and kicks that race's arse on your 10th anniversary of riding it! No matter what you want to call it (race or ride), 23.8 MPH is a blistering pace.

      Yes, some days, like yesterday and today I had great legs. Others days not so. Who knows why. I've had great rides in Italy where all I ate was ice cream the night before. Beats me.

      I always appreciate a call-out from a fellow rider(s) about hazards, drivers - even if redundant. Buy Alan a beer or soda of his choice. Good call to "chat" with the driver. Hopefully he stops his stupidity behind the wheel. . . Eating more wind I see.

    In ten years of riding TX I've seen two armadillos. Both in the last week. Whizzed by the first at 30mph on Sat--today I stopped.
