Hey Heres some motivation for all your racers out there this weekend:

Little talk about 'team' at the end, but  very motivating.

Ewwww.  So glad you're not my officemate.  Few things worse than the smell of cat pee. 

And thanks for guilting me into finally getting my tush to a LBS for a maintenance class. I knew how to do these things once but that was decades ago.  And if all goes well this afternoon, I might have to learn on a new bike (I hope, I hope, I hope).

spoken by someone who has no clue what she's talking about.

perhaps there was more to his comment than what you're reading. 

you just can't teach experience

I may not know a lot about bikes but I do know what I'm talking about when heading out for a long ride.  Just consider yourself lucky that you have not had any malfunctions with your CO2.

And for crying out loud - please stop attacking people when they post their own opinion.  That's what this group does - it's all opinion.  No right, no wrong answers.  You are great fun and we love ya but this is getting old.  Have your say and move on.

Redknight - 2011-07-15 12:27 PM Hey gang. How ya'all doing. I've been pretty busy here adn have missed several days conversation. Hope I didn't miss anything important or disgusting ..
Had a good week working out just haven't logged it yet. Had my bike to the LB and had it looked at. Guy said the bike is like me. Getting old but still is pretty good working order.
Good luck to all those racing this weekend. I was going to but then my wife decided she wanted to go to the cottage on Sunday (race day) instead of Monday.  We all know gotta keep momma happy. If momma aint happy nobodies happy.
Have a great weekend all.

So true, Rob.  So very true!  Glad your bike is okay...and there hasn't been anything disgusting since Hincapie's leg was posted.  Have a great weekend!  With Momma.

Just wrapped my tubes in saran wrap.  Who'd thunk.  Got both in my behind-the-saddle pack, only had to take out the kitchen sink.   Hope I don't need it out there!  I've never raced with this little amount of stuff before.

Just got a 2011 Felt B16 yesterday and went on my first ride on it today.  Have never riden a TT bike before.  Different.  Good thing is I did not crash and on my first ride on it my average MPH was about 2 MPH faster that my past rides.  The only thing is no my lower back and neck are sore.  Is this normal, something that I will adjust to?

Congrats on the bike!!  Pics?  If it feel like pain just because you used different muscles, I think you're fine.  Love the speed! Did you get fit on it?  Sometimes a little tweak is all it takes.

There could be a bit of adjustment to the new position.  Did you get a fit with the bike?  If so did they do any flexibility tests?  I would love to have the position of Dave Luscan here on BT but just looking at it makes my back tighten up.  So I worked with my fitter to find the most aero position that didn't make my back tighten up.  As for the neck, I found that it just takes some time to get used to holding you neck in that position, after awhile my pain there went away.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!   I'm off to Racine in the morning!

Agree, good luck everyone race safe smart and fast!

I just found out that my race on Sunday will have wetsuit strippers. 

What is the best way to utilize these people?  Do I unzip and pull the suit down to my waist and let them do the rest or should I just let them do it all? 

Then again if there are too many people, I will just run past and do it myself!!

Unzip, pull it down to the waist. As you are running up, point to the guy you are going to go to. make it evident that you are coming to him. Find the big guys.

fwiw, it would be impossible i think to pull it down yourself as quick as they can rip it off you.

you're slightly amusing.  maybe if you actually pay attention to what others talk about you would have noticed a posting or two from me over the past few years about blowing through several cartridges on a ride.  so yeah, sam *pats on head* i've been there, you're really not that special.

you wrote  "Spoken by someone who has not gone through or witnessed going through 3-4 CO2 cartridges on a ride." that's not opinion.  that's stating something about my training which you know absolutley nothing about. so sam, learn wtf an opinion is rather than acting like a know it all a$$ when it comes to what i've done and what i've sacrificed over the past several years.

as far as getting old, as i posted to tony, perhaps you as well should read a little more into what people are saying to you.  both of your acts are old and tiresome.  and i'll continue to call both of you on it.   if you don't like it, you're free to leave.  stay or go, i could care less.  just keep you ignorant commentary about my training to yourself.

that^^^  and don't think you have to go to the first one.  there might be a few others down the line that are free. 

BEST THINGS EVER.   I just unzipped, and they helped with it all.......so bummed they aren't having them at Vineman.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL THIS WEEKEND!!!   Can't wait to read all the RRs!!

Good luck to you!!

I just found out one of my friends from HS is racing there as well.

Nothing to see here people... As you were (this was just the extra 14 beers talking).  Continue educating, encouraging and bantering each other !

Good luck to all the awesome racers this weekend! Especially our speedy gals representing at Vineman and Racine! Go, girls, go!!! You all are inspirational!!! Can't wait to read the reports!

Speaking of reports, I'm a bit behind on my reading. I'll get caught up this weekend. This is the first weekend I haven't been traveling or out in the woods for months. Love traveling and camping, but it's nice to have a weekend without 6+ hours of driving! Have a great weekend everyone!

Good luck to all the racers this weekend!

Just got back from my first ever bike road race... it was a fairly small local event but...

Came in 2nd overall!! WOOHOO!
Check out my RR

One of my other training ride buds won it. So we must be doing something right out there.
Great race and we all had a lot of fun!
