Word No, wait, carbs are evil!!

What?! It's nothing compared to dirtbiking. Far as I'm concerned, it's human-powered so it can't be all that bad. Unless you're doing shuttles to avoid all of the uphill. Then you're just a pussy. Now that shit they do up at Whistler with the chairlifts...

What about Big Oil's conspiratorial shutdown of the nuclear energy program? Huh? What about that?! Bush doesn't even pronounce it correctly. DO YOU THINK THAT IS AN ACCIDENT? Oh, but it's so hard to clean up all this waste! Hmm if we only had an unlimited energy source to use for processing it... but where would we get that? What a "conundrum."

Oh man that is a total drag. Was your name on it? Someone will find it...

Oh yeah, "in the alpine style."

40 miles eh? Not too bad! I only did about 30 but it's a cool loop with some mild hills. Man, it was hot today. Hits you right as you get off the bike.

Went on a road ride today, got two flats, couple of cramps, but a good pump all in all...

I'm thinking maybe Voeckler should have attacked today...

won today!

Yeah I have a pair like that. I take them off at belays too. But I have to admit that mine are a half-size too small...

Eh... half-size too small?

He was saying put mountain-style clipless pedals on your road bike. The shoes won't go -click-clack- like mine when you walk. What's the BGT? Did you see any guys in Lycra and seizure-inducing racing jerseys?

Me too! Me too! I got the road pedals/shoes because they were on sale, $40 for Shimano SPD-R and $17 for road shoes. Lighter too, until you factor in the tennis shoes in your backpack...

How about Voeckler doing it by himself, and 23 years old! Give that man a freakin' team...

This has got to be one of the ugliest threads I've seen in a while.

I'm telling you man, those clipless pedals are sweet. A little stressful in stop-and-go traffic though. And your bike may be a young sexy virgin, but mine's got mature grace, and that irrestible Bianchi celeste!

Here's my ride, except it has clipless pedals and 23's instead of 20's now. I don't feel that I'm cool enough for the messenger bag or the racing jersey yet...

Tell ya what Paul, since you're not getting your mountain workout this weekend, ride it up here so I can have a look... Oh yeah and now that you have a road bike you have to start following the TDF, and riding around everywhere in a brightly colored racing jersey just like Lance! Man I am shit-talking up a storm here. I must really be bored... Hmm but seriously, maybe we should get you some clipless pedals and go on a road ride tomorrow...

Whoa, hold up! No way Paul, you can't officially nominate yourself for the granola guerilla until you get clipless pedals for that bad-boy... One of these wouldn't hurt, either... ()

JESUS THAT IS ONE FREAKY PIC

Yeah alpine is not looking too great weather-wise. of course neither are the lowlands... Do you ski/snowboard? Actually it'll probably just rain on Baker...

Hey mods, I think this thread still belongs in the fitness forum... can you maybe just clean up the offending parts and put it back?

Oh man you asked for it. When I played rugby we did some sick circuit routines that seriously left you wanting to lay down and puke. I can't reveal the secret details of the torturefest but it involved doing as many bodyweight excercises as you possibly can in cycles, with almost no rest. So an example would be: Pushups: 1 min, as many as you can do 20 seconds rest Situps: 1 min, as many as you can do 20 sec rest Calf-raises (easy for a reason): 1 min 20 sec rest Jump squats!!! Like squats but faster, with a jump at the end. This is the crux of the cycle... 1 min 20 sec rest Back raises 1 min 20 sec rest A timer is helpful. The heart of the routine: repeat 4 to 10 times, or until you vomit! NEVER rest for longer than 20 seconds, even when repeating the cycle. Bonus excercises you can throw into the cycles: Pullups (if you have a pullup bar) Dips Stairs... ps. if done right, most of your body will be in excruciating pain the next day!
