The Cannibal Velo Club Trustees met recently over frosty mugs to plan a joint Velominati-Cannibal Spring Cogal here in Connecticut.
Proposed details:
- Date: Sunday May 19th (shrewdly missing both the Mother’s Day and Memorial Day weekends).
- Accommodations: I’m sure that among the Cannibals, we can host most or all of the visiting Velominati/hoti. Bed & Breakfast venues are also available nearby. A Saturday Dinner/BBQ would be great for those who arrive the day before the ride.
- Route: about 130km, about 5k climbing! That’s a lot of climbing FFS. A mix of short, tough climbs, endless rollers, and scenic beauty in both rural and coastal areas.

We can figure out other details, mid-ride chow, timing, etc. as the date nears. In the meantime, please share your thoughts and suggestions.
Contact me about the Cannibal Connecticut Cogal May 19, 2013; Chuck Mueller- cgmueller2@gmail.com ; Cannibal VeloClub info: www.cannibal-veloclub.webs.com ; @CannibalVelo on Twitter ; ‘Canniabal Velo Club’ on Facebook.

@DerHoggz It’s something that you could observe over time with a kind of diary, using weight as a proxy for body fat unless you have one of those fancy scales. Anyway, I admire the hell out of you guys even being able to get yourselves into that zone. »
@PeakInTwoYears BMI = bullshit. And just to complete the process of boring everyone to death, I would suggest that the measure of BMI is not the problem, but its use for something for which it was not intended, like recruiting criteria. »
@scaler911 @PeakInTwoYears Right, BMI is just a rough measure for adults, and doesn’t account for body type or composition. It is just the coin of the particular realm that I’m familiar with. I’ve had a few patients with BMIs of 14. Anyway, whatever m… »
@scaler911 @Buck Rogers @ped That’s an interesting personal observation, @ scaler911. What is your BMI at that tipping point, if you don’t mind such a personal question? And there is some mysterious interplay between caloric and micro-nutrient defici… »
@Chris Bingo. “Hiking the Appalachian Trail” is another one that is gaining in popularity with the added benefit of making one seem all Bear Grylls-y. @Buck Rogers To be more serious, I am curious about infectious disease and pro cycling, as it is not… »
@Buck Rogers @Chris Withdrawing from a race due to “a nasty infection” is the cycling equivalent “I am resigning to spend more time with my family”. Free swaps (and urinalysis) for everybody! »

@Sauterelle Ah, they are all cute, in an aero sort of way. Rather, a Wiggo-mocking reference to explain my descent in the Giro VSP standings. VSP PICKS: 1. Rabottini 2. Atapuma 3. Gatto 4. Nibali 5. Evans »

@Ron Aerodynamic nightmare, or Aeromare for short. Lash me and the bike to the mast of catamaran and you could probably win the fucking America’s Cup or whatever they call it now. But a tail wind, ah, I just unfurl the spinnakers and get a taste of wh… »

@DerHoggz I had blue and went to green and was able to ride 14 hours in Vermont with the feet being the least of my worries, though that may have been true even if they’d been ground into bloody stumps. I realize the Specialized footbeds are a bit gen… »
@roger for the previous r3s, I was not impressed with the in-store proprietary Easy-Bake Oven sole molding that the LBS provided. I couldn’t get the needed high arch support so I swapped them out for some generic Spesh green inserts. I feel so dirty. »

@Tartan1749 Yes sir. Not the sexiest, raciest tires of the bunch but the Maxxis Re-Fuses have been the best at holding up to road debris. I figure I end up spending more time changing flats than I lose in increased rolling resistance. I’ve tried Co… »
