Luckily, only about 3 miles in. Not too long, maybe 40 minutes or so, as I could coast some of the downhills.

Obviously you destroyed the temper of the steel by parking it in that cold stream.

 

[HPIguy]

LMAO, that has to be it.

Here's some motivation for the riders:

 

[HPIguy]

Good thing that's shopped, as you'll never outrun one in a short sprint.

 

[hamz9561]

Yeah, but it's still a fun thought for motivation.

You don't have to be fast, just a little faster than the guy behind you. Suddenly, next to last is a good place to be.

[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]Been having a lot going on in life from health troubles to marriage issues and needed to really get out and clear my head. I called up my lil brother last night around 11ish and he told me that he just broke up with his girlfriend, so we agreed to meet up and take our bikes out for a spin. There is a loop we follow on River Rd. that follows all of the Plants and it's really nice to ride when they are all lit up at night. The loop takes about 25-30 minutes. So after the loop was done neither of us were ready to return home so we decided to make a late night ride to New Orleans (about an hour to an hour and a half away from my place in Baton Rouge). So we fueled up and headed out. Got to New Orleans around 2 stopped a couple places to get some pictures and rode down the famous Burbon St. And stopped into one of its many bars for a beer. After that rolled out back to Baton Rouge and got home about 0400.

Fueled up

And for some reason my lil bro likes to snap-chat while riding.

Nice pics James, hate to hear things have been rough for you lately. Hopping on the moto, or anything two wheeled really, always clears my head as well and tends to really put things into perspective.

Hope everything works itself out for the best, Alpine.

Made a goal I set for this year today, finally conquered a climb that's eluded me. It's just under 5 miles, and 1,500 ft of climbing, classed as a CAT 2 climb. You do get about 2.5 miles of CAT 4 climbing as a warm up just before though . Got another climb to conquer on Sunday if all goes well.

I was pretty excited to say the least

Those "pants" clearly have a circle around your junk.

 

[HPIguy]

Never noticed it, but you're right.

 

[hamz9561]

It's a target for the militant feminists...

I think it's that salt-like crystalline structure that collects at the outer edges of a urine stain as it dries. It'll wash out.

 

[HPIguy]

Come to think of it, I did have piss of crab for lunch.

 

[hamz9561]

Any bearded clams with that?

 

[Rolex]

Damn, James, those bikes look really heavy. It must have been brutal pedaling them that far in one night.

My favorite MTB got a new chain, and now that you can finally find them, some of the new B+ sized tires. I got lucky, and my fork arch had plenty of room for them. WTB trailblazer 27.5 x 2.8, can't wait to try 'em out tomorrow!
