One less person for our Cadel to worry bout, should be a good battle with Wiggins. Though I thing BMC team need to train harder at staying with Cadel right till the line, he can't afford to be isolated at the end in the TDF like he was last week.

Fights with Bruyneel notwithstanding, he's got a fractured pelvis.Livetoride wrote:

Not this one lol, the setup is a lot less aggressive but it works well for him and I don't want to tinker other than seatpost.sli123 wrote:Lucky you! Bianchi's go fasterDimma wrote:So after Sunday's ride noticed a crack in the frame, so back for an x-ray to identify if it's just paint.

A week off the bike is a pain in the ass BUT, judging by you massive K's logged already a rest will have done you good. Harder and Faster when you get back on the bike.Dimma wrote:Hopefully Brisbane's coldest week in 13 yrs ends tomorrow.

At 1.00pm it was wet and 7 degrees or 4 if you include wind chill.
I am realizing that late nights, a stressful time at work and weather like this destroys my desire to ride!

Stress in work, don't mention the war as they say. Need to invent the next brilliant Invention or win the lottery so I don't have to work.

Haven't updated BJ for a while. Had a few weeks of very little cycling due to other stuff and then I went and dobbed myself in for a half IM in October. So now I've traded a couple of rides each week for running (yay!) and swimming (yuk!).
Cheers,
Stuart.

I've had a really slow start to the month and have discovered I really don't like temperatures below 5 degrees C.
Very keen to head somewhere warmer...

Haven't been riding the Trek much, been commuting on the Dolan, so much easier to maintain a fixie especially on those rainy days we've just experienced in Brissie, lube the chain, wipe the frame down with penetrative spray & wipe the tyres/rims over with vinegar, check the tyre pressures & it's ready for the next day, all up about 20 minutes maintenance.
Had some interesting experiences of late, went up to help out a team at the Tour of Toowoomba, rode training rides with them, then rode the Tour of Toowoomba charity ride, then rode the MS Brissie to Bay the following weekend. The amount of 'experts' that couldn't ride a carnival ride doing these charity events thinking they're some kind of pro, watched one goose dive down the outside of everybody who was braking trying to out brake everybody, what he managed to achieve was ripping the tyre of his very expensive lightweight wheels (the guy looked heavier than I, I'm over 100kgs & won't use lw wheels) as he tried to corner & brake at the same time, then destroy the wheel, crash onto the ground probably wrecking his frame too.
I also had these types coming up next to me 'crowding' me trying to catch the draft of the bike in front, I was well behaved, but in future I'll be 'educating' these guys what happens in track racing when someone tries 'crowding' you.
I noticed on a forum some of these pros complaining about the social riders riding all over the road getting in their way, I'd much rather ride around a bunch of social riders than these 'experts' their ego's are writing cheques their skill level can't cash.
I think from now on I'll ride the fixie in these charity rides or I'll just donate to the charity & do a similar distance ride on the other side of town.
Yep not only do I take !! BAN ME NOW FOR SWEARING !! on the interweb too seriously but it appears I take all 'expert' cyclists way too seriously.
But then what the fark would I know, I'm just a 'casual' cyclist.
