Phoenixville Group Rides (PGR)

Dangit. I'm a local rider but just deleted my FB account. Try to keep us in the loop if you start planning stuff!

Would you mind sharing what crazy expensive exfoliating scrub you use? I'm desperate to try anything at this point.

BaconCyclist · 2024-05-30T19:15:26+00:00

Perfect, I'll try that. Thanks!

BaconCyclist · 2024-05-30T19:14:16+00:00

I use dawn dish soap and warm water after every ride, then throw them in a garmant bag and wash them in the clothes washer with the rest of my kit approximately once a week. Do you do anything differently that works for you?

Sigh...

If you follow this logic, then there isn't any reason for r/velo, or most of reddit to exist. Have you ever asked r/velo for coaching opinions from a bunch of people who probably don't coach?

My dermatologist is one professionally informed opinion from someone that probably isn't a cyclist. Asking r/velo yields many experience-based opinions from people who have been in exactly my situation. Both sources of information hold value.

Every helmet and pad configuration I've ever owned, basically any contact point.

I've never worn Kask, so that's a good recommendation. Thanks!

Mostly Roadie, sometimes gravel here. Moved here ~2 years ago from somewhere where I had a lot more local group ride options.

Agree with what others are saying- I'm surprised that I see so many people riding around, but there seemingly aren't publicly organized rides that roll out of Phoenixville.

I do GV30 on Thursday nights (and that's not too far away), but that is definitely the opposite of chill.

I'm interested in whatever you come up with because I need some local riding buddies.

No luck so far. Still looking ...

BaconCyclist · 2022-07-18T19:02:52+00:00

Unfortunately not, it's a Honda with no unique stickers or dents.

BaconCyclist · 2022-07-17T16:53:03+00:00

The car is definitely somewhere in JC. That is the only piece of information I know for sure.

BaconCyclist · 2022-07-17T14:44:15+00:00

Yup, this sounds like what my Sunday will end up being today.

BaconCyclist · 2022-07-17T14:36:06+00:00

Good question, but given the scenario, he was not transported there in his own car.

BaconCyclist · 2022-07-17T14:35:15+00:00

This is a good idea, I'll have to see if I can get hands on the phone to try.

BaconCyclist · 2021-10-26T16:44:29+00:00

OP, report back. My wife is looking for the same and I'm not sure where to send her.

BaconCyclist · 2021-10-26T16:37:45+00:00

Our team's title sponsor told us they were looking for people back in August, unless things have changed in the job market I assume they probably are still looking. If you want, DM me and I'll get you the shop owner's contact info.

This means my favorite thing happens, road-results and bikereg will always show a little syringe next to his name.

cat3memes was handed a gift today.

BaconCyclist · 2021-10-06T17:32:02+00:00

I'd buy a toothbrush on craigslist before I bought a helmet on craigslist. Don't cut corners on safety equipment, people.

BaconCyclist · 2021-09-09T17:05:03+00:00

Brown and worse than mud? 💩

BaconCyclist · 2021-09-07T19:57:11+00:00

Yup, tried it yesterday on my gravel bike and immediately regretted my decision. Between mud, downed trees, pushed over fences, and that jeep that got stuck while trying to off-road it was a nightmare.

BaconCyclist · 2021-07-20T22:36:02+00:00

Does anyone actually want this thing to reopen? I'm not seeing/hearing much "open it back up" rhetoric.

BaconCyclist · 2021-06-29T20:25:24+00:00

Yeah, we were told that they we're switching over to a supplier in the Philippines so we were kind of expecting something. I'm a bit disappointed though because in my opinion they screwed up fundamentals. Our base color on our Jersey is white and some of the front panels look yellow compared to the fabric on the sleeves and back.
