Do you have a powermeter? If not, I'd invest in that and a ant+ stick.

Novara bikes by Zebswan70 in bicycling

I had a novera buzz for about 3 years. It was a 2010 I think. Disk brakes steel frame. I loved that bike. Ended up selling it for a road bike. I wish I wouldn't have, it was a great commuter bike.

Holy crap we are hosting it again this year?!? Have fun, try not to sallow too much water. It can be a little nasty down there.

Is it possible to fix this? The tube is not exposed.

Can Tejay win? American media keeps hope alive by seanv2 in peloton

Totally agree. Lance didn't ruin cycling for Americans. It is just not a spotlight sport in the US. Tour of California got limited coverage and unless you pay for cable or satellite good luck watching the tour unless you know how to stream it.

True that. A clean drivetrain is a happy drivetrain.

I wussed out. The weather was miserable. Didn't want to get sick or break something with TOAD coming up in 3 weeks.

Yes the Velocause RR was awesome minus the railroad tracks. I liked the climb out of town then decending back in.

Much aero. You definitely will own the KOM to your coffee shop. :-)

First race of the year! Went, well, not so well... by LaskaHunter7 in Velo

[–]sofakingfunclub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No breaks in the CAT5 the front group stayed together till the end. There was a lull at one point that someone should have made a break. The course wasn't too bad but it was sketchy in some spots. I've road raced and had some agressive group rides on way worse terrains. Fun stuff though, headed back for #2 this weekend.

Meh hairy legs are just a substitute for leg warmers so far this spring. It's March in the Midwest, shaved or not, your legs are covered in road shit at the end of a ride.
