Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) (Page 76)

One FURIOUS MANATEE reporting in today.

I have been in contact with the LBS again...yes, the frame on order is MY frame.....it is STILL another 6-8 weeks out.  WTF??? I was told that over a month ago!  I will be calling Blue directly to verify this.  The LBS offered me a discount on anything he had in stock but that would negate any honoring of the credit I currently have with Blue. 

So not sure who to be angry with ....the poor communication from LBS or the LACK of customer support from Blue or BOTH.

Ugh, so sorry. That is really frustrating.

I'd be frustrated with both of em.

Originally posted by QueenZipp Blue rep said they expect my frame mid June and will ship it up as soon as they get it  MAYBE 2-3 days shipping.  IF I am lucky it will be here a week before my race.  Not a whole lot of time to fit and get used to it.

Originally posted by Richardsdrr VENT.............so angry, and disgusted, with the terrorist attack in London yesterday. What the f... Are these people on? Hacking off the head of a British soldier in broad daylight in the middle of S.London. Like, WTF? I feel sorry for the guys family having to see that attack broadcast all over the news. Makes me think back to when I used to be on guard outside St Jame's Palace and how often people used to come up to you and hit you. I thought, one of these days I will drive this bayonet through your skull you pathetic individual, now go away...........rant over.

Originally posted by Richardsdrr I can't see a way of doing it on the phone app Chris. There is a way on the computer that is easy enough. Perhaps Ben may know. He seems to have been using it a while now. Sorry, no help really. In other news, got my JOGO for the day done. By all, off to work

g&t = Gin and Tonic, I think. I'm not sure how that equates to the ever popular Friday evening 12 oz curls, but I pace myself for a couple of hours when I do those

I have a Strava question or two for those that use it. How do I go about setting up segments? I have a couple of spots that I ride often that I may use to measure myself with. Do I need the Premium Membership to set them up? And will Strava pick them up as part of a longer ride, and break it out automatically, or do I need to do something to get it in there. I am using the app on my smartphone.

Also, an observation. There is a segment that I ride with group on occasion that is pretty popular in the area. So I looked for it and found that the KOM is Jesse Friggin' Thomas, pro triathlete! Yeah, mark that one off the list of possibles.

Originally posted by amd723 I have a Strava account but have never looked into setting up a segment. Hope that was helpfulWas the Jesse Thomas KOM part of last year's REV3 ? If so, wonder if it was during the section where we actually got to ride with those wicked winds. If so, yes, it will be hard to unseat him!

What will the LBS do for you when it arrives? I'm sure they understand your frustration, hopefully they can get it to you quickly.

Yes, it was down Manasota Key. I believe the first part of the race was with the wind, so yeah, he was wind aided. I had to double check the numbers, Good Golly those guys can FLY!!!!

Hmmm, I can't see anything ... yet. 

Looking forward to seeing this messy office though

NM, now I can see it. Is that a bowl of candy???

That part was wind-aided and he had Andrew Starkowicz to chase after by that point. Don't forget it's mostly downhill too!
