Looking up bicycles again. Last night I saw on facebook that a handful of friends signed up for the Lu Lacka Wyco Hundo bike ride in April. It's a 100 mile ride that goes up and down the mountain ranges in northeast PA by Wilkes-Barre. A shitload of climbing, lots of gravel roads and climbs, supposedly stupid hard. All my friends that have done it said it was fantastic.

I :pussy: out because I was worried I wouldn't be able to train for it properly because of this fucking hernia. 6-8 weeks of no lifting / effort at all. Would give me 2 months to go from 0 miles per week to over 100 miles per week, during the winter. That's pretty rough. So I didn't sign up last night. This morning I thought, you know what, fuck it stop being :pussy: and sign up. Nope. Sold out. :sad:

I kind of knew that would happen. Maybe for the better anyway. I don't even have a bike that would be suitable for that ride. The Cervelo would get mega trashed on it because of all the gravel, and the tires on that bike aren't really big enough to deal with a ride like that. The steel bike is even worse for tire clearance. And no way in hell would I ride my 29er MTB for 100 miles. Most people get "adventure bikes" or cyclocross bikes, put somewhat fat slick tires on them, and ride those. I don't own anything like that so I would have either had to deal with destroying the Cervelo or buying a bike and getting used to it over a 2 month period.

Eating escargot and wine at a little bar watching the funny euro cars go by and sitting in the window was wonderful. One of the hilights of that London/Paris trip I took years ago with a very controlling and bitchy GF. She didn't even have big titties to make up for it :disgust:

Macho King. Steel bike, pretty expensive for what it is, about 23 lbs which is heavy. Race oriented.

Or something like this:

Specialized Sequoia. Quite a bit less racy, less expensive, more cruising oriented.

Or any of the plethora of carbon / aluminum racing cyclocross bikes out there. I kind of wanted a steel one. I had a request in to a local shop to call when they got a shipment of Sequoias in, but no response. Specialized is being really shitty about the roll out of those bikes despite hyping them up quite a bit.

:rolleyes: First world problems I know, but I want a bike like this. And then my buddy ends up finding a few year old Ridley cyclocross bike for dirt cheap used with :waxer: parts on it and he's been tooling that around. That's ultimately what I need to find.

We toured the catacombs of Paris too. Which was cool because it dumped us out in a decidedly non-tourist section of the city. Ate at a pizza joint where they didn't speak a lick of English. It worked out fine, we got some super tasty pizza and bottled waters, and the server was extremely polite. IDK why the French get the stigma of being super rude to Americans.
