I stood on my head.

I should've changed shoes, cleats left holes.

Most dwellars have upside-down viewpoints anyway...

Well, it's just crazy. It's right side up on my puter, but when I post it-it comes out upside down. I guess it works though.

Oh damn that would have been funny if you had. "I got drafted by Obama, and I was already in the army!"

Well, it would have been funny if you had done it and survived to post about it.

Griff, I'm not going to lie. I'm a little dehydrated, and my left ankle is pretty sore. I have bone spurs and arthritis in the ankles...why I'm riding and not running any more. I'm very run down. My bike brain calculator says I burned 5,554 Kcals. Day off for sure. I think after some breakfast and coffee and lots of water I'll be fine and back on my 20 miles in the morning tomorrow.

Guys, we had to put the money from taxes into family expenses and the bonus from my Uncle Sam fell through. I can't afford to buy a bike just yet.

Any of you old cyclists have a bike in the garage you would be willing to part with? I can't afford much and it will take me at least 20 months to save the money for the bike I want. I WILL NOT give up cycling for 20 months. I am using loaners right now and these guys will want their bikes back eventually. A friend of mine on post is letting me use a Cannondale Synapse from the Morale Welfare and Recreation department, I'm not sure how long this will last and I'm not complaining. I am currently putting 130 miles a week on the bike with a century a month. In the next week and 1/2 that will go up to 170 a week. What ever I get in the 20-25 month interim will have to stand up to at least that work load.

I'm also going to start shopping the pawn shops around the Fort Bragg area and see what I can find.

I don't have anything in my stable but if someone else does I'll gladly kick in for shipping. What is your height/inseam?

I have a 23" Trek I bought in 2007. It's a 520, I think. Only has about 300 miles on it. It's got a "chromoly" frame, so it's heavy, but really strong (and weldable), compared to racers.

It has been sitting unused since mid 2007, so it probably needs a tune-up, maybe new tires.

It retailed at $1,500. But I'd let it go for something like $700 + shipping, including all of the touring gear (front and rear panniers, handlebar bag, and misc stuff). I'll get some more details if you're at all interested.

Where do you measure from to get this number?

There is some difference based on manufacturer and frame style but generally that is center of crank to center of top tube. 23" means PW's legs are a lot longer than mine.

I have a beat up 18"? Cannondale on my trainer that might do in an emergency with a lot of work. Do you know anyone on base who can weld aluminum?
