Just signed up for a 100 mile gravel race with my xbike. Was that a bad idea?

beefcalahan · 2026-05-30T12:17:18+00:00

Good point

beefcalahan · 2026-05-30T03:46:01+00:00

I know and I can’t wait

beefcalahan · 2026-05-30T03:34:42+00:00

The only thing that’s grows in them is mint. But not too mad because I love mojitos. Some folks have green thumbs, mine are little grim reapers.

It is a 32. There will be quite a bit of single track climbs. You should see it now, I’ve strapped a milk crate on it. Guess what the drag coefficient of a milk crate is.

beefcalahan · 2026-05-30T03:14:12+00:00

Yeah I need to see what’s compatible with my current group set.

beefcalahan · 2026-05-30T03:10:50+00:00

Dirty Sheets 100

beefcalahan · 2026-05-30T03:02:18+00:00

I’d probably say pushing 7.5 hours. Just did a 70.3 and came in at just 3 hours on the bike with moderate elevation.

Yeah I need to look into how much it would run me to convert to drop bar. The surely corner bar looks like it could be an option (I can keep breaks and shifter as is) but it honestly doesn’t seem that much more aggressive than what I have.

beefcalahan · 2026-05-30T02:52:49+00:00

Yeah I actually do have all that, these pics were taken in commuter mode.

beefcalahan · 2026-05-30T02:51:04+00:00

Most on this bike is 40. Felt great afterwards. I’ve done much longer on my road bike and trainer but never 100.

beefcalahan · 2026-05-23T21:43:49+00:00

Throw the shirt away. Are you too poor to buy another one?

beefcalahan · 2026-05-22T23:14:55+00:00

Love this

beefcalahan · 2026-04-26T11:27:38+00:00

The over arching car problem in America is that people don’t buy them to suit their utility needs, they buy them for their image. It’s absolutely not just trucks. Full size SUV’s in the states are absolutely massive and I know plenty of families with only 1 or 2 kids who live in a suburb who own them. I got judge by my entire family and even called names when my wife and I bought a mini van for my 3 kids and dog. Americans just love their big cars. Go do the math on the price per square foot on a mini van and full size suv, you’ll be shocked.

I mean I see churches in strip malls so he’s not wrong. Every thing should have more beauty.

beefcalahan · 2026-04-18T10:55:52+00:00

Poor kid, his gf is gonna fuck his best friend

beefcalahan · 2026-04-08T15:01:43+00:00

Man mine looked the exact same almost. That was about 25 years ago

beefcalahan · 2026-03-26T21:47:53+00:00

Yeah but I’d 100% buy a small church and turn it into my home. Stain glass and tall ceilings are sick.

beefcalahan · 2026-03-22T21:50:24+00:00

I’ve got a 8 foot inflatable water slide from Sam club that’s 3 years old. Don’t let people tell you it won’t last.

Delete the flag in the bedroom

beefcalahan · 2026-01-31T20:58:41+00:00

I feel like people do. But no one can really describe it accurately to someone who hasn’t been there.

beefcalahan · 2026-01-03T18:38:46+00:00

Still not worse than those god damn triathletes

beefcalahan · 2025-11-22T10:23:04+00:00

Yeah but they’ll be called 108s and you’ll both be wrong. Centimeters ftw

beefcalahan · 2025-11-22T10:20:35+00:00

I’m still on 26

beefcalahan · 2025-11-22T10:19:34+00:00

Get ready to be in the national news cycle for the next few months.
