CSC Saxo-Bank Team Thread (Page 6)

Helloooo

Holy crap.  Where does the time go.  I guess you should take me out all together. 

Crazy?  No.  Dangerous?  If you had gone flying around corners, yeah, but it's no big deal otherwise than just being hard to ride on.

A spoke wrench is a pretty small but usefull tool to throw in a seatbag, and Zinn can give you enough info on how to get home if you need to true up a wheel on the road.

I'm back now from a trip to the (New) Jersey shore.  Got in some riding, so I was able to keep up with my plan.  Kind of nice to be able to ride somewhere flat!  I've done 4 rides for 4.8 hours. 

Nice leg Cat!

You should see the other one!

In fact... so should I.

Actually, we all should

I would have disconnected the rear brake and let her fly using only the front brake... shouldnt be braking anyway. I once did a 508 mile nonstop race through Death Valley in 99 like that.  We had 35,000 feet of climbing and descent and never missed a beat.... though I did think about the lack of a rear brake when descending at speeds up to 55mph for 15 miles  into Stove Pipe Wells off of Townes Pass into Death Valley.  For your event you would have been fine.

Im willing to offer a trade... If shown you mine so now its the CSC mens turn!

I would post a pic of my legs, but I'd get in trouble for causing the BT server to crash. 

Hi team

CSC is the team to beat…but here and in France

Since I got in 2 extra rides that where not planed I have upped my goals equally No reason to make it too easy.

Here are a couple views of my right leg from my race a couple weeks ago!

During the race:

and the finish:

This what me and my legs do post-ride.  The arms usually have a beer or four. 

Chicks dig scars

kaqphin - 2008-07-16 1:07 AM this chick loves scars because of the stories that go with them....

This one is boring.  Intramural basketball in college.  Mis-diagnosed as a severe sprain.  I had actually torn my PCL, which led to me later tearing my MCL while running.    Want to see the scar two weeks after surgery when I got the bandages off for the first time?  It's definitely the anti-sexy, though.

Ummm Im not good at icky stuff.... 

Then I'll be nice and spare you the details:)

It is in one of my albums, though.

That should add some motivation.

Umm yeah I know of one team mate who will have been out of action and may need to change/reduce goals but apart from that where is everyone else at???

As of tonight Im 6/9 stages and 355/180 minutes (yes Im WAY over goal in minutes as I was uber conservative due to the no sleep thing)

Come on CSC!!!! 

I am right on target for stages and way ahead on distance I will be going for a 6h ride on Sunday (longest ever) and with that I should make my distance goal. I will be taking in easy next week as I have my first marathon next Sunday

But I will finish this challenge

GO CSC
