I did my LT test yesterday. It was rough, which I suppose is a good thing. For the last three years my LT has been 175, but this year it's 176. I'm going to say that means I'm faster. According to Billy, it does mean I can work at a higher level of discomfort for longer, which I would agree with. Lately I have been noticing I can ride in the low 180s and handle the discomfort a little better than in years past.
I didn't think I was going to puke until Billy mentioned that the LT testers were welcome to join in the sprint workout the other kiddos were doing. Half a Papa Johns pizza and a four-hour nap later, I felt fine.
The Twin Cities Bike Swap is coming up, and the U of M team is going to get a table for selling excess clothing. We're also going to let members sell their bikes at it, which should be interesting. I'm debating selling my 8500. I'm definitely taking a stack of acquired tires, Dirt jump/freeride shit, and maybe some saddles. On the flip side, there is still a lot of stuff I need to pick up for this season. Things like aero bars for TTTs, bottle cages, and some 258 length spokes.
I've borrowed some TDF DVDs from Mike, and let me tell you: Lance made the tour kind of boring. However, getting to see Robbie McEwen bitch out a teenage spectator for trying to pull his bottle out of the carbon cage (while McEwen was on his way to the staging area) and breaking the cage was hilarious. "Amerdeux! Tu voudras payer pour un something something carbon? Stupid fuckin wanker!"
The kid looked like he was going to cry.
