I rode the Kluane Chilkat International Bike Relay race, 238.8km solo in 6:57. Garmin fucked up, still seeing if I can save the ride data. Then Sunday we rode the Skagway summit. All in all, a great success despite some minor mechanical issues. »

@Ron It is possible, at the top of the Alpe d’Huez one of his bikes is there, DT shifter for the front to save weight. This was for the TT up the Alpe d’Huez. »

@scaler911 Ha! I used to check those out at my high school’s library and read them on the bus home. »

@minion Yes, what gears will be used? I run 90.5 (48*14) and in 3 minute intervals last night was averaging 43.4km/hr, in zone 5. Which hurt, quite a bit. No way I could keep that up for an hour. I reckon I could churn out 39ish with relative ‘comfort’ … »
@Marcus Heretics, every last one of you. I’m riding out the the Burnaby Velodrome tonight as the VMH has the steezy whip. I’ll get funny looks just for hanging my Cinelli on the bike racks in the infield and switching to the Pista. Triathletes, riding … »
@Buck Rogers What if Frank goes 41.2km and we have two entries of 41.1 and 41.3km, respectively? Who would win? Bob Barker knows who the victor would be. »
@TBONE Wrong link, sorry. Double plus sorry for TMZ. http://www.tmz.com/videos/0_x8418jqn/ »
@Buck Rogers Everything I know about betting, times and such has just been shattered. Aaron Paul is disappoint. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMtR6KViyeU »
@Buck Rogers Will Price is Right rules be into effect? Meaning that the person closest to the actual retail kilometers performed without going over wins? Please spay and neuter your pets. Also, I demand a piss test. A piss test? Yes, a piss test. »
@RedRanger I’ll go for 38.2. »
At a cursory glance it looks as if you’re riding a road bike. Roubaix is the only acceptable place to ride a road bike on the track, provided it is proceeded with a shower underneath said velodrome. @Ron A tri-friend of mine added Axel on the Facebo… »
1. Are you riding a road bike on the velodrome in that picture? If so, that’s a paddling. Mind you I’m just as guilty as I poached The Vélodrome Jacques-Anquetil and the Palais des Sports in Grenoble when I was in France. 2. A full hour on a track bike,… »

This just in: Axel Merckx raced in the Oliver 1/2 Ironman. I wonder if he’s come out to his father yet. I’m shocked, especially considering that I let him touch me on Friday night when I rode with him. I feel so used. »

Me? I love Tuesday nights in Vancouver: http://escapevelocity.bc.ca/tuesday Wednesdays are good too. Structured training at the velodrome. Velodromes, track bikes, skin suits and all of that are compliant with the Rules, right? In the winter on Fridays… »

@VeloVita I have to snack on fruit and veggies all day long, it helps with the cravings and keeps my blood sugar consistent. If it gets too low I become even more insufferable than normal. »
@ChrisO Anything over 4 hours. I ride solo a lot so there’s no tucking in on other people’s wheel(s). Also lots of hills and headwinds here in Vancouver. It’s not that much, mostly strategically placed in my jersey. It should be noted that I eat Alot. »
@wiscot I like to ride with nugget potatoes roasted with sea salt, pepper, and olive oil. They’re cheap, easy, hit the gullet and get absorbed instantly. I’ll also bring along some balsamic tomato crackers, a bar, a handful of almonds, and some EPO lace… »
Bang up job! What were you running up front, I’m assuming a 48 tooth? ‘Alpenrose is a short, steep…’ Come to Burnaby, it’s 200m and 5 degrees steeper. We were talking about a race in Alpenrose the other day and saying how you could go so much slower on… »
