I feel like I am being forced against my will to stop riding it. <BR/> I did test ride a performance hybrid today. I am hopefull. I stand by my group ride statements, but I will always ride with my crew if I find a solution. <BR/> Silk ....you got me scratching my head. That's an angle I didn't think of.

It's kind of like golf (but not like it at all of course). I swear every time I play that I will never ever ever ever play again....then I hit one great shot (1 great shot out of 124 suck ass shots) then wonder when I'll get a change to play again.<BR/><BR/>Oh yea, one Trek Fuel EX8 on sale...really cheap...damn oak tree.BIG JIMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00683031946494776917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160951798742515830.post-13936393881747979272008-03-28T11:45:00.000-04:002008-03-28T11:45:00.000-04:00Thanks for the apology, but it isn't needed.

When you add neck pain and a $2500.00 bike you can't ride anymore, it ain't fun.<BR/> That bike just isn't going to work. I may get a perfomance hybrid (Raleigh Cadence fc, or some such) but my group ride days are over. I may be up for some loops through Kilearn and Ox Bottom, but no Joes, and no anything else that involves people I don't know and trust.<BR/>BASTARDS!Human Wrecking Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15799205524837378335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160951798742515830.post-7162325322247936252008-03-28T09:48:00.000-04:002008-03-28T09:48:00.000-04:00Now, if you go and give up the road, who's gonna s...Now, if you go and give up the road, who's gonna start all those damn yellow sign sprints?! You're right about focusing on the crashes being a HUUGE buzz kill. That's what makes sprinters amazing, they can completely tune into the task at hand, and the fear of crashing is not on the radar. To them, it's the price of doing business. I've never had that ability, at least not at that level. The same can be said for riding in traffic. It seems like more and more of my friends woke up one morning and were terrified of riding around cars. It's understandable, people drive like jerks, but I guess I just still consider it the cost of doing business.<BR/><BR/>On the roadie front, I understand I spooked the Wrecking Ball on last night's ride. I went to attack, and shake him off my wheel, but apparently in the process, I came over on him pretty bad, and almost caused more trouble than I meant. So for the record, I'm sorry about that, Boss. Now stop all this "I'm selling my road bike and buying a freeride bike" nonsense. You think your neck hurts now...BIGWORMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01402622780492354683noreply@blogger.com
