  1. You think that’s more impressive than sending invisible bombers over a country with severely degraded air defenses?
  2. I crashed for the second time in a year. Luckily, my bike and I came out of it in relatively good shape. I was carrying some momentum coming off a hill, probably going 20-22 mph in Terry Hershey, and a fat ass rabbit ran right out in front of me. I didn’t even have time to hit the brakes before I was de-biked. My helmet is trash and I got some road rash but all else is fine. Addendum: We all know this but you really have to wear a helmet. My head hit the ground pretty hard and I would not be in good shape if the dents in my helmet were instead in my head.
  3. Uhhhh, they're just going to keep refueling one another. Don't need to land.
  4. Bobby the Pilot, how hard is it to enter a takeoff roll with flaps retracted on a modern passenger jet? I would think they'd engineer that to be really hard to do. Same question when retracting flaps immediately after takeoff. Isn't there a "yeah, might want to think twice" warning if you order flap retraction at a speed, altitude and configuration that would likely result in a stall?
  5. They done good.
  6. Quit being a bitch.
  7. I think this one is in hand. The karma gods can lick my chode.
  8. Congrats girls! Awesome job!
  9. That’s not how the play was originally drawn up.
  10. Sooners starting to feel salty. Almost tied the game.
  11. That’s kind of nuts.
  12. Good job girlies!
  13. Looks like the Maurtin is 40 carbs. The one I use is 36. Does the Maurtin have any other advantages?
  14. For sixty, I'll usually take one water bottle, one gatorade bottle, a banana and a granola bar. If its really hot or I add on more 15 or 30 more miles I'll stop at a gas station and refill the bottles, sometimes with a Fanta, and grab a carb-loaded bar or candy. I know that's underfueling but I've never bonked, and these are just weekend rides.
  15. I did 60 on the bike Saturday and was getting nauseous the last 20. I left about 7:45 and the sun was full out with a heat index of 100 when I was done. I left at 5:15 on Monday and did the first 20 in the neighborhood with a headlight, and then hit the hike and bike trail when it got light. There was a system coming through to the north, the weather stayed cloudy and mild and I did 75 and felt fine the whole time. I was used to getting up way too early in years past to run before the sun came up. I don't know why it didn't occur to me it would be the same with cycling.
