Ever gone downhill on a roadbike in the canyons?

 

yea I actually did. twice at Webb Canyon before I bought my Downhill Bike

 

Just twice? You should have given it more chance. I personally don't like dirt kicking up on my face and having to avoid rocks. I like hearing my roadbike's wheels whistling while carving up the canyons.

 

haven't tried a pinarello... i've been curious if all those bends do anything. ha

i like the way my scott cr1 feels. and my spot singlespeed.

 

you have a point..Eh now i'm thinking that i shouldn't have sold my road bike..

 

i haven't really tried a lot bikes out there, but don't the bends look great though? Ha ha! I do think the Onda technolgy works, the ride is very forgiving.

Cervelo, De Rosa, Orbea, Kuota , and Look are awesome bikes too.

 

It's not too late to go back

 

we should really all get together one of these weekends!

 

Dude I know what you mean man...i get hella cranky if i haven't ridden for a while...and by a while i mean 2 days.... and lets put it this way....i was 170lbs before cycling, now i maintain 148lbs with 12% body fat , there is no way im giving this sport up

 

if you think biking's addicting, wait until you try climbing or surfing!

here's a pic of my friend and i climbing in yosemite over labor day week.

 

That is freakin nuts man!!

 

I'm running an 05 giant tcr




I plan on getting one of these pretty soon as soon as fuji gets them in

 

Just got back from Huntington....it was freaking cold this morning! 54 miles....=)

 

Dudes - My bike is up for grabs! I decided to go a size smaller. Thanks!

Avid cyclist here too! I usually ride solo or in smaller groups (LA Tri Club or Pasadena Tri Club). I quite enjoy competing in duathlons and time trials too.

Here are two of my rides:


BMW/Williams F1 Q8R for training


Giant MCR for competing

 

I'm selling one of my favorite road bikes if anyone is interested....

my new ride...

 

Cyclist for about 1yr now here... bought a used Specialized Allez last November. Loove it, I try to ride whenever I can on the weekends. Also on my fluid trainer during the week and on bad weather days.

Here's a good site for some pretty good rides in LA: http://www.studentgroups.ucla.edu/cycling/rides.html

 

Thanks for the ride link!

 

Wow. I haven't been following the thread... Let's organize a ride. I've been off my bike compared to the summer but I expect I could do 30 - 40 miles at roughly 15 - 20 mph. I normally ride from home (PCH and Clark in LB) to Newport Bch and back. Maybe we come up with something that suits both the advanced and beginners... focus more on social instead of all out riding...

I had a problem develop, after riding, some kind of tendonitis flare up... but I got fitted and a longer crank and seems to have taken care of it.

Here's my Trek Madone 5.1
