Wuss! I was looking forward to beating him in the Strava climbing challenge, so far done 1684 metres, he's done zero! ;)Quote:

My new frame is the same as my bent one but the quality of the paint is much worse. I've been all over the shift bosses, fork crown and brakes with a file scratching away blobs of paint that keep parts from fitting snugly. Now that's done I have to do some touch-up with a thin layer of paint and apply some rust-proofing to the tube interiors this weekend before starting to assemble everything.
It's been too hot to ride this week, anyway.
Went for a walk while hitting balls in gopher holes. Despite taking 50 shots to complete 9 par 3 holes, i beat my friend who needed only 35. Stupidly complicated game. And not really something I'd concider a sport.
Put a bit over 19 miles in today on the BOMB. Hot as crap... 90+ the entire time I was gone.
Another 11+ miles today. We waited until later when it cooled down to about 90 degrees and humid. :) My wife joined me for the first six, and I went out and did another 5 and change at a quicker pace.
Strava had a climbing challenge for the last 8 days and I've done mostly hills all week. Today I did the route of a local sportive which is mega hilly 5,000ft of climbing in 50 miles.
Flat 111km ride out this morning. Will finally get back out on the bike now the Tour de France has finished, three rides in the last three weeks is a poor effort.
I'd have to drive too far to find enough elevation to even try that. Far too flat in this area.Quote:
