Starting with 2.5 miles each way train station to work.  Some nightly road work and some fire road working up to single track on the weekends.  Goal is to get to the point where I'm also riding 6-7 to and fro train station on this end.  It's all uphill in the evening though.   :-\

I was devastatingly buff and handsome as a youth.  I'll be there again by Halloween bitches.  Book it.

Nice ride....

but I'd be willing to wager a noah, that it doesn't happen [sm_shock]

Sweet!  Good for you. 


I'm kinda workin' on my own deal.

Hopefully we can all get there together.

I'm trying to put on weight.

The uumlaut reckons I have a weight problem [sm_shock]

you'll still be short, too
 ;D

This from an individual who has a cut down 6I and is effectively playing with kiddie clubs [sm_shock]

Short people live longer and hugs are more fun.   [sm_naughty]

WTF is a noah?  This is a 'Merkin forum; get with the program 2i.

im still taller than UB.  8)

But not when I'm angry.  The battle rage... you know.

 [sm_thumbsup2]

It was 18 months ago when I got serious about being just old and ugly. Started with cycling, then running. Fast forward to today and a Fuzzy who is 25 pounds lighter and in pretty damn good shape.

Ride on UB! Plus, the Tour de France is on every night for motivation. Just don't try to pull off the spandex at this stage.  :P

Waxturbation doesn't count as "exercise", dude.

And that's just sick.

Well, I don't want to be known as the fat hobbit, so I'm going to get off my lazy azz and start my workout routine too.  We can compare six packs at Bandon.

Shedding the pounds 5cc at a time.

lightweight

UB  :isaac:

So, for now, are you keeping the bike in a bike locker at the train station or do you bring it along on the train?

Come on boys, don't go getting all skinny and anorexic on me, just remember when you get older men look better with grey hair and a bit of weight on them. 8)

Including the plums swinging by the knees??

Fuzzy you have "weigh" too much time on your hands!  ;D

Allow me to elaborate:

A "Noah" is $100 bill.

When the $100 bill was first released it was white (see below image). People first referred to these as "Great White Sharks". Colloquially speaking using a rhyming slang, "Great White Sharks" becomes "Noahs Arks" which in turn is shortened to "Noah"

Whilst the new $100 bill is green, they're still referred to as "Noahs".

Here endeth todays lesson.

Australia is *goshdarn* weird.

Carrying it on my car to the train in the morning, taking the bike on the train and then riding to work.  Repeat in mirror on the way home.   ;D

The bikes on the train are indeed getting to be a problem.  Rumors are flying that they're taking some of the beater cars they bought from NJ and/or VA and turning them into bikes-only cars.  But I catch the 6:23 morning train and it's fairly empty when I get on.  After my stop and the next it is packed.  My bike's gonna be buried but since I get off at the last stop no worries.  I can easily beat the bus across town in SLC plus on the way home the useless things are always late.  It took me two hours from the moment I walked out the door until I walked in the door of the bike shop in my town.  Of that, roughly 45 minutes was spent waiting - 30 for TWO late buses and 15 because we missed a train by mere seconds (actually pressing the open door buttons right after they locked them and threw it into gear.)  The trains run like clockwork; I'll be saving a lot of time by riding in addition to getting the exercise.

Can't give you an actual report though.  I drove today.  Nine holes on the way in.   8)

Lazy halfling FTW

It's complicated.

Did you carry the bike on the car both ways?

I don't go both ways.

Well, I see things have changed since Bandon.

Twoiron, I have never heard of a hundred dollar note being called a noah. ???

I think it must just be strange Victorian lingo. :P ;D ;D ;D

Sorry Fuzzy. I like your avatar better, but thats just me.

Ah but I live in a beautiful part of the world with hardly any traffic and pollution with really nice shop assistants and Corporate Amercia loves us. :P ;D ;D

Did I mention that Tom and Katie have been in town, and nobody cares. ;D

Xenu cares.
