I want to be in shape for Barry-Roubaix.
I want to drop some seight too, but 145 seems pretty unreachable. How tall are you OP?


Then I am starting March 31st so I can get a jump start on you.....March has 31 days right?


You mean February 31st, right? Otherwise you will be a month behind me.

I have been watching my diet closely, and I am fairly certain I will be a Clydesdale come the beginning of the season!


I was talking about getting ready for 2013.


Waste of time, the 2013 race calendar is blank:

Man did I pick the wrong year to make a come back. Maybe I should just sell all my bikes then and blow the money I get from them on hookers and booze.....that's going out in style.

Just a quick note to those knocking the guys on skinny tires. Trust me, I used to feel all big and bad when I passed a guy on a road bike, but trust me. If you meet up with one of the guys who want to, they can tear you open like a can of tuna... that guy you passed may have been on a recovery, or just come off of a century, or a hill ride or w/e. Maybe you are just a stronger rider, who knows. Just don't assume they're a slouch. Like pongo said, we're all on two wheels, just different width tires.

Unless they are from Ohio, in which case it is OK to dislike them! ;)

Fair, but I'm from Michigan. Just displaced at this point.
