Was this from the ride? http://vimeo.com/68001999

Freaking crazy- did the course really double back on itself without any dividing cones right after a tunnel?

Just came off a very very wet ride to Purcelsville and back- no lightning anywhere, almost zero wind but 4MRT is already impassible at Bluemont and was within a few inches of being on the trail at Rt...

I find myself in an awkward position. On the one hand I'm trying to START FMCC III in Herndon, on the other, I can just walk to FMCC II and I really don't have a good reason to go to Herndon except...

Bumping this up- I'm definitely going and dragging at least one BA lurker along with me. 7:15 ish.

New bike if I'm following things correctly... probably means new chain with factory grease. Sheldon Brown (who gets many more points than I ever will) says it's the best protectant ever... I can't...

I'm a little bemused by rim tape but would add:

16G threaded CO2
CO2 threaded Pump heads (cheapies)
Cheap Hand pump (dual presta/Schreder)
Sidewall patch
Lever/patch kit
AA/AAA batteries...

Starting early on this but I'm intending on being there at around 7:15 this Friday, lingering for an hour or so and then because I've been temporarily relieved of responsibilities such as "work,"...

I was there at 8ish, probably 7:30 would be a better time. My commute out to the far suburbs is ending this week but I can use it as an excuse to get a long Friday morning ride in.

Had a solo Friday Morning Coffee Club (solo because I failed to tell anyone about it at Herndon's Green Lizard bike shop- super nice folk and honestly great coffee. Anyone interested in starting a...

I definitely need more diagrams in my life that helpfully point out the douchebag in the picture. In fact, I might slip that into my next flowchart and see if anyone notices.

Ha! THAT guy... I entered him in the Book of Ninja Styles after he scared me witless one night:
...

Excellent, sounds like I could be passing lots of fine company heading the other way. Now I just need to get the contract! (Just like a bike commuter to include bike routing in the overall...

The Google is giving me this:

But I suspect that there is a decent route via Annondale Rd off the WOD. Any suggestions? I may have a consulting project out there for...

Go to 2:17 and watch the gray Honda try and kill some joggers at the intersection of doom (also a bike commuter right at the beginning running the red)

The "flat" part might be hard, how about suffer-filled but pretty? Head west on the WOD to Hunter Mill (not crowded at all), bear left onto Hunter Station and up. And up. Then brief right on...

Naw, when stewed they get too soft and kind of explode in your mouth like an overripe grape. We found that texture was really important for cicada-munching enjoyment. Thus broiled won out of 10...

Vile little things? Try 'em broiled with sea salt and olive oil- they taste like hazelnuts. Mmmmmm crunchy....

While I certaintly wish that I had days and days of time for back country fun and hyjinx, the reality is well within the 14 hour stated life of the 810. I'm also absurdly well equipped with drybags...

Thats kinda the question- the innards of an 810 should be very similar to their other units but I have no idea if you can reduce the sample rate to preserve battery. Not so worried about water-proof...

So, this weekend I was convinced* of the utility of having a real GPS for backcountry non-biking adventures. My question is whether I can effectively use an Edge 510 or 810 mapping unit with...

You still win if after they collapse in a pile of emasculated shame and are left in the distance, you casually pull off and have a heart attack yourself (but only if they, or any witnesses don't see...

So, I've gotten in the habit of tossing salvageable punctured tubes in a bin with the intention of patching them... I haven't actually done that and counted 18 tubes (ranging from 24" unicycle to 26"...

A big, loud freehub helps in this game as does the ability to ride very fast while looking nonchalant. Fenders and/or real CX tires and mud are another multiplier. As is random chatting that avoids...

Just make him earn it- inch up the pace from behind until his heart can't keep up with his ego. It's a shame multiplier.

That made my morning.
