Do You Road Bike?

First bicycle ride since I got my motorcycle ~ 3 weeks ago. My portly tank of a drop bar touring bike felt absolutely svelte and nimble :laughing. Riding it felt so easy and carefree. My more roadish bike will feel like a wisp next time I take it out.

There's a downhill with some curves from the state park I take back home

Quoting my own post because I realized I never posted a photo of the bike all back together. Nothing exotic but its fun to ride. I remember kelsodeez describing his vintage bike as old, heavy, slow and riding like a wet noodle. Thats accurate description of my bike...and me. :laughing

So was riding with teammate today as we got to the top of OLH we saw a dude with TT bike next to those black town cars/limousines. Figured maybe an accident or something. As we looked closer a driver, in full suit getup, was taking stuff from the rider and giving him something from a bag. It was his support vehicle. That's baler status right there. :laughing #JobCreator
 
Did the support include a ride to the top? I might be interested.
 
Id totally tune into BSB to see him race. i wonder what kind of pace he has

Cavendish considering change to motorcycle racing?
The British cycling legend says it's something he'd love to do

Mark Cavendish is a modern British cycling legend. And in an interview recently with Esquire Middle East, the sportsman says that after, he would love to race bikes.

“I prefer motorbikes more,” says the Brit, when asked on his feelings on four-wheeled sport. “I would like to race them instead.”

Cavendish tells the magazine that he owns a couple of bikes – the kind with an engine – and that it’s not a joke idea…

“In all seriousness,” he replies when asked if that’s what he’ll do next. “I think so.

I'm too lazy to set up that kind of support.

Need to see some lap times before I believe it...

Could be interesting.
 
Cavendish is a close friend of Crutchlow which may or may not help a potential career in moto racing. I vote no Cavendish on a moto without Sagan in the same race.

Which one is which? I remember some friends being all upset about it. I remember they said the guy who made the elbow was in the right...and I didn't agree. But I don't know anything about either of them.

I don't follow roadie racing. I know Sagan tried MTB in the Olympics...and he needs to stay on the road :D

Segan taking out Cavendish. Dunno I think Cavendish tried to squeeze somewhere he had no business in being.
 
to me, it always looked like Cav's right foot came unclipped, he went to put power down and realized what happened, looked down all in a split second and lost balance, then commited to crashing when he looked back up and there was Sagan's elbow staring at him.

i must have watched that clip a thosand times haha
 
if you watch the full video, Cav tried to squeeze in with no room and leaned towards Sagan and instinct for Sagan is to lean into it too. Cav had no room and wasn't going anywhere so tried to unclip but too late so he crashed.
 
Does anyone plan on going to the Sea Otter Classic next weekend? I plan on going on Saturday 4/21 to check out the booths and get some autographs.
 
hey, you changed the 9-month-old TdF zombie subject to matters of the present day

I’m considering going down there on Sun, dunno yet -
thx for reminder
