Elena Delle Donne Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) nothing like an unnecessary 2 hour meeting with 300 people to go camera off and do a small spring cleaning. hosed off the winter salt and grime, wiped down every tube, took a toothpick and rag to the lugs, degreased and greased and reinstalled the seatpost. life's good.

Elena Delle Donne Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 i would GENTLY run your finger around the rim tape too — might pick up something you can't see as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the.crooked Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Buddy of mine just finished 4th in solo-mens in Race Across America. 11days 6hours and some odd minutes to complete 3000mi from west to east coast. what a beast. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ko SprueOne Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 That's an impressive accomplishment. What's involved with participation in something like that? Qualifications ? > requirements to participate; physical and bicycle Sponsorship/fees ? > lodging, food, roadside assistance Deadline ?

the.crooked Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 it's pretty wild. This was his last marathon style competition. He's in his mid 30's also, if not late. He's done this before, and also done a pretty wild race in Europe as well. otherwise he lives the same dumb tech/career life that i do too. wife is a script editor/writer, two cute ass kids. just a wholesome ass man who entertains my dumb shit sometimes while continuing to be an absolute fucking monster on a bike. qualifications for the RAAM, not sure. I just know no one would be able to question his bona fides. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ko SprueOne Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I watched the video you posted and it was never as painful as what THAT looked like. Usually it was the left shoulder blade or left triceps area. And it never took me down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
