Ride the Ladies of Massachusetts

[paulthenurse]

And if you're looking to get rid of some trees I've got a couple of chainsaws and a buddy with a wood stove and always lookin' for some wood.*

You know how to get to my place. You're welcome to whatever you want, just no taking the split stuff till the unsplit stuff is all gone. (Yes I cut and split about a cord of it for the exersize, I don't have a woodstove and Bertha doesn't need more than 15 - 20 pieces to cook a whole hog.)

Went down to Foxboro Bike today. Took a ride on a Trek Madrone. I'm in love all over again. Smooth like butta.

I'm thinking about sending a kid or three back to Russia with a note pinned on her jacket and getting my money back.

Hey Monk,

I went out and checked out the piles with a critical eye towards knees. There is some real potential there.

[brewmonk]

thats AWESOME!!!!! i'm getting my plans converted into cnc templates (for a 17 ft 'rowboat').

 

[paulthenurse]

Wherry nice!

PTN

 

[brewmonk]

Stop, stop! You're keeling me!

Hey, does anyone know of a bike that I can cut up to use (the back half of it) on my trainer?

(Just like my grain mill, but I'm NOT going to cut the rear spokes off, leaving just the cartridge....)

 

[paulthenurse]

Hate to thwart your plans but ...

Why? Why not just put your bike on the trainer?

And on that note, I'm off for a ride. I'd like to get 30 in this afternoon.

[paulthenurse]

Could someone please explain to me how my f'ing POS iPhone shows that I rode 10.75 miles one way and it took me 11.23 miles to cover the exact same stretch of road home?

Oh well, I did somewhere around 22 miles in 88 minutes. A sort of respectable 15ish MPH. Not too bad for a fat guy.

In retrospect, I need to get a bit of perspective.

If I had started at Hopkington this morning I would have come round the clubhouse turn on Comm Ave just slightly ahead of some skinny mother-f'er who was promised a Quarter Pounder with Cheese if he gave a good showing.

I have my parents for giving me these fat genes.

'cause then I'd have to sit on top of a bike.

i left only the back triangle, and turned it upside down then put it in the trainer. now i can sit in my office chair and grind grain while watching a movie.

 

[paulthenurse]

12 miles in 49 minutes this afternoon. My arse is sore.

PTN

 

[brewmonk]

18 lbs of grain in less than 4 beers, and mine isn't.

 

[paulthenurse]

and mine isn't.

Going thru a dry spell in your love life?

PTN

 

[brewmonk]

no, that hasn't been spoke-en for.
But if your arse is hurtin', I'll refrain from asking.

(And no more intibating references).

sorry i didnt get over there in the rain. And I'm stuck getting ready for the Miss Saigon show that starts rehersals tomorrow (my emboucher aint'nt ready no-how.)

 

[paulthenurse]

My love you long time, Monkee. You come see me and I give you big piece of wood for you to take home.

PTN

 

[brewmonk]

then you can watch me pull a rabbett out of my hat.

 

[brewmonk]

Steve hasn't played trombone in a DECADE, and was convinced he could play this dang show - 2 hours a night, LOUD!
um, why do I get these sharp, spikey pains in my chops?? (DUH!)

damn, the girls look cute on stage in their underwear. I'd buy a bike mirror and clamp it on my horn, but I'd miss a whole lotta notes.

 

[paulthenurse]

Nope!

Not gonna go there!

Way too easy!

PTN

Baltimore was fun, even if St Mary's girls itramural team could have readily beat either of the teams on the diamond last night.

 

[brewmonk]

ok, I missed THAT one while I was writing it!

(although if I'm clamping on a bike mirror, it's not because it's EASY ... more the opposite!)

 

[paulthenurse]

20 in 88 minutes today. Averaged 14.5 mph. Nice fun ride thru Easton.

New bike day for the family! Bean and I finally got some new rides. Not a prayer in hell I'll be venturing across the state, but looking forward to getting some miles under me.

 

[brewmonk]

I *LOOKED* at my bike today - feels like I almost got some exercise!

 

[the_bird]

I went out for the first time in probably a decade last weekend. Not sure how long the round trip was - maybe 10 miles? - but the first couple miles were almost straigh uphill, going up the mountain.

FELT LIKE I WAS DYING. I'm pretty sure I could taste my lungs bleeding. Could almost hear them screaming, two muffled little voices from inside my chest, "WHAT THE F*CK IS THIS SH*T?!?!"

In other words, I'm out of shape.

 

[klyph]

Yeah, I'm getting back into cardio. When I start to taste blood, I wonder if I'm hurting more than helping.

 

[paulthenurse]

Feel the burn, baby.

Best part of going up is the going down after.

 

[Hippie]

I actually rode tonight! I did 8.4 miles before dinner, then a 17.8 miler late night. Woohoo!

 

[paulthenurse]

Channel your anger towards the B's into your ride. You'll be ripping off miles at a record pace.
