Title: Forgive me I have sinned... Post by JimFPU on Apr 15th, 2013, 4:59pm ...it has been 215 days since my last ride. [smiley=jawdrop.gif] Finally got the SXP put back together and got everything adjusted. Moving just sucks after you get into a routine that really works for you. Living in a hotel for 72 days and then doing major remodeling as soon as we moved into our new-to-us house...not much room left to ride. North Georgia has lots of hills, nothing like North Texas...well maybe similar to north of McKinney (for those that are familiar with the triple-by-pass) it's kinda like that! It'll take some time to get back into my HHH shape, and hopefully I can start riding some more, now that the weather has improved. Of course the pollen right now is almost like dust in your teeth...yuck. So all said I got 8.08 miles in according to Map My Ride. Did 4.69, and stopped to get my ID which I left at the house, then did the other 3.69. Felt great and looking forward to getting back up to speed as it were. A side note: hills: YES, but the roads are all smooth as glass around here! NO chip-seal that I've seen. THAT makes for some nice riding. I think my top speed was somewhere around 34-ish, of course down a VERY steep but short hill on my street. It is a loop of .9 miles. The new RBENT shirt rides really nice too! Thanks for taking care of the details Paul! |

Title: Re: Forgive me I have sinned... Post by Denman on Apr 15th, 2013, 7:37pm Hope your enjoying Atlanta. I've got plenty of great memories of Brasilton.....Road Atlanta was my home track once upon a time. Hills, check. Kudzu, check. Mosquitoes, check. About July you'll learn a whole new chapter about humidity. |

Title: Re: Forgive me I have sinned... Post by FlyingLaZBoy on Apr 16th, 2013, 10:40am Get an 11-34 cassette, and replace the 30T with a 28T or 26T granny gear... |

If I could figure out how to buy it Paul, you know I would. If I could figure out how to sell the SXP and get the Xstream...I throughly enjoyed riding Jay's. This move has been more expensive than any of my previous ones-you need a long term payment plan... [smiley=twitchy.gif] My in-laws are still inMcKinney, so I'm sure we'll be making a trip there soon, if not this year definately next, so I could pick it up...ARGH! I still have to figure out HOW to pay for it. I's such a great deal... |

Funny thing is that I never went to the granny...we'll see as I venture further out. |
