You could crack them all off in one evening, they are quite short.

It's the right place Mark and you're now in the Chain Gang.

Also, I've taken the liberty of adding @bridgy @Whorty & @AAAC 76C to the admins as the other admins don't seem to be with us much anymore.

Now I have to learn how to admin.
Will I need a Secretary?

This young lady will do:

She put it on when she was really skinny and then ate a lot.

I saw Runar rode from Oslo to Paris in 9 days. Huge 130 mile plus days . Very impressive. Congratulations @Norseman !

It is starting to dawn on me that we weren't suppose to do all Madeleine :-)

But it is getting dark and cold in Norway, so I'll be more active on the Bkool the next 6 months. I have signed up for a bike ride from Oslo to Paris (1700 km) in 9 days next year to watch the last day of TdF, so I'd better continue the training.

So 120 rounds in the velodrome and then 30 seconds on the Madeleine it is...

Giving the Bkool some credit!

I wonder if he's staying in Paris to watch the end of the TDF?

 

[bridgy]

@AAAC 76C - you still up for having another shot at SC3 tomorrow? If so, what time suits you? Just need to plan around my day (and a potentially dramatic end of the TDF!)

 

[BILL S]

@everyone I won't be home tomorrow so won't be able to start the CG re-run at 5 pm just in case anyone wants to do it.

Welcome to the cult of the Chain Gang. First celestial virgin is free then we offer a good finance scheme going on from there.

Do you use a spacer to take your asthma inhalers? You should use your blue inhaler 10 mins before using preventative inhaler as this will help get it further into your lungs.

I did this for a while. Gave me wicked headaches. I was left with a choice. Skip the inhaler and cough up a lung once I was done riding or ride with a splitting headache. I took the former and threw the damn inhaler away.

For 20+ years the ritual was to spend a few weeks in the spring being miserable after each ride (think doubled over hacking up all kinds of disgusting crud for hours after a hard ride). I hacked like a long term smoker. It was awful. However, once I got enough hard rides in things would clear up and I'd be good until the next spring.

I haven't had any major problems the last couple years. I can only hazard a guess that keeping up the winter riding on the turbo somehow keeps the pipes clean and prevents spasms. There may also be some improvements due to living in the foothills and avoiding the temperature inversions that trap pollution down in the valley and ultimately sear your lungs.
