Been putting 200 miles a weekend on this

you do any triathlons?




For the road I've got an 04 (I think) Giant TCR Aero, ride it mostly locally maybe 15-20 miles a shot .


For the mountain I've got a 05 Giant Faith 1, it's a downhill/freeride bike only so most of my time is spent up at Diablo freeride park in Vernon NJ (http://www.diablofreeridepark.com/). Was looking forward to trying some other lift assisted mountains this year, but that isn't going to happen.


For dirt jumping and urban war riding I've got a 06 Cannondale Chase.


For "beach cruising" (i.e. hanging up on my living room wall) this is my mid 60's Schwinn Typhoon. Since it's been fully restored I have yet to ride it.


And for drinking at the Englishtown swap meet, a custom made tall bike. Have to give credit to my brother and his friends for making this creation.

Legit! I used to be into dirt way back when then took a few steps back. I am doing the nyc and the westchester this year. 2010 IM lake placid and some sort of a half IM early in the year to keep things kosher :thumbup: Ride the city much?

[bobushka king]

haven't ridden in the city yet, was planning on going up to the jumps at Highbridge during the summer some time. I broke my foot bad about a month ago so I'm out probably for the rest of the season (I can't put weight on it for another month and a half). Oh well there is always next year

damn man that is hurting! You can clip the roadie to the trainer... not much fun but its good enough for a broken leg :thumbup: Speedy recovery!!

All the bikes i have are now considered classics, but i've gotten back into riding over the past 3 months and want to upgrade soon (not spending anymore money on my car will help).

I have a Klein Quantum Race road bike that i average about 200 miles a week on. Its slowly increasing as i have been doing longer rides in the mornings before work.

I recently sampled a Colnago CX-1 for a week and will try out a Giant TCR advanced when i get back from vacation.
The Colnago CX-1 is amazing but i'll wait until i can get a used one from the local bike store as its price is rather restrictive for my current cash flow.


I have an old school Specialized FSR dualie XC. I'll eventually upgrade it, but am happy with it for now.


I do alot of rides through bernardsville, Mendham, Peapack-Gladstone, Oldwick, basking ridge (around my house) etc... Its a great place to ride because there aren't too many cars (very scenic) and there are lots of hills and elevation changes. You can do a big amount climbing in a short amount of miles, which i like

My goal for this road season is to complete a century and keep up on a few of the more intense liberty cycle shop rides.
For MTB, i want to complete the 24 hours of Allamuchy this August.

yo bobby, dirty jersey choppers FTW... :D

[vdubbn]

I've riden both the TCR and the Colnago, sweet bikes for sure. Scott has some decently priced roadies worth looking into :thumbup:

[vdubbn]

Sneak peak. Put the front end back together after cleaning and checking all CF. Rear will get a full disk, tomorrow most likely as the glue is still curing.

Me a rider... haha.

I have a 2006 Orbea Mitis II.

I've only been riding maybe 6 or 7 times so far this year due to work, weekend getaways, and working out at the gym but have been setting aside more time to get some rides in. On a good riding week this year... I maybe do about 70 miles a week, which is about 2 rides during the week at around 20 miles on local roads which really sucks cause of traffic lights and such and average maybe 30 miles on a weekend rides, for now. That number will increase. And even though mileage is low, I do nice leg workouts at the gym, so of course that helps.

Like I said... weekday rides blow cause I really have no choice. I'm stuck to where I live cause going to ride somewhere else is pointless considering the traffic and the time that I get home from work, so that has to do. Weekends, I usually ride with a couple of people (including Soul_Coughing above) and we ride starting in Edgewater going north on 9W (huge number of cyclists there) or down around Bernardsville.

Looking good Andre! Would you guys be up for a bear mountain ride one weekend?!

[iLuveketchup]

Im using a old 5-speed bike from the 70s. I found it while cleaning up the shed. I have to post a photo. Its not fancy, I just use it to get rid of fat. My bike route consists of going around the block a couple of times. I just started riding this past weekend. The last time I rode a bike before that was when I was 10yrs old.

I'm down to do rides man... anything to get me away from local roads. Actually, myself and the guys I ride with go up to Harriman State Park sometimes and we do a 15-mile loop 2 or 3 times. It's a very nice scenic ride with a really long downhill in which we can reach upwards of 50 mph. The only thing that sucks is that it is a long uphill going back to the top... haha... but fun nonetheless.

Keep it up man... then you'll upgrade with a new bike and really get into it. I tell ya... it really is addicting once you get into it. Hard to explain.

[Soul Coughing]

I'm definitely down for some riding. This weekend is shot, but maybe we could all do a ride the weekend after this. If people are interested in hitting up some of the roads by my house i have a 50 mile route that has about 5k feet of climbing. If distance is an issue we could move further towards the city.

its really addicting, more so than cars... :eek3:

I found a milk crate on the side of the road yesterday. Im going to tie the crate down on the back rail. :)

Now that's debateable... :D

Auto-Xing is fun, so it's close... :LOL:

Andre

[iLuveketchup]

They should have auto-x for bikes. I guess downhill racing is the equivalent.

Plus you get in shape. The only thing that gets lighter after a track/auto-x are my pockets.

yeah true that and with the crazy amounts of money and countless hours i've spent on my car, I could have gotten some nice bikes.

:iagree:

I feel good after a ride. The next day is a little tiresome, but knowing that you will be stronger on the next ride is definitely worth it all.
