Best racing segment I've ever seen was the 2006 TdF stage 16 when Floyd Landis went off super early a day after getting utterly destroyed and falling from 1st to outside the top 10. Not only did he win but won by like 6 minutes over the other GP competitors.

Of course his title was subsequently stripped for doping but I've never been so glued to 4 hours worth of cycling on television.

I wasn't into cycling back then, but I really enjoyed the end of Jens Voigt's career where he lost the ability to win sprints and made up for it by just leaving everyone in his dust for the last few hours of a race.

When I was racing I got pretty good at doing the "math" to figure out how hard it would be to catch a break or a solo rider, and what kind of shape I'd be in afterwards. I remember one particular race where a guy got away *immediately*, we chased him for 50 miles, and then literally the whole peloton just sat up and said "**** it" and slowed down 2mph. Once he made it to the last downwind section there was no way we'd catch him and given we're all racing for 2nd place there's no reason to keep killing ourselves. I expected someone to try a second break there but no one did.

Great posts RB and allin.

I lost money on that ****. Announcers were literally shouting, “This is unbelievable folks—this is the greatest one day bike ride in history!”

...bastard.

Idk I had a pretty fun family bike ride in the burbs and around a park yesterday. Maybe top 3 bike rides in history.

What have I missed?

Keto got really popular for some unknown reason.

Ah figures. Is there a resident Keto-Carnivorelord in H&F now?

If the answer is no I would like to apply for this position.

Oh I got a new one. Lets see if we can popularize only eating grains and stuff. like call it grainitarian

You probably should have posted this question in one of the two other, more high traffic LC threads.

Some guy still posts crazy vegan stuff all the time. Loco has now dictated that cardiotarding (but not enough to be good at it) is the ultimate measure of fitness. No one is "strong", but there are plenty of "strong" people if we lower the bar to "middle aged office workers". There is a female MLY log by a guy call de4df1sh (less magic show). N1 reported that his broken dick friend had sex allegedly. SmileyEH is posting about surfing and flying a kite simultaneously. k.

Hey man I lost 10lbs!

What is "a female MLY log by a guy" mean?

less magic show

This vegan thread has legs. Already learned not eat any fish because plastics and no known safe dose of saturated fats.

Horseshoe theory of politics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_theory) seems to apply to dietary dogma as well. Vegan and keto-carnivore ideologues sound alarmingly/hilariously similar.

Loco being loco- glad to hear. Smiley being smiley- glad to hear.

I keep coming back to the idea of opening a gym.

I know it's tough to do and make $.

Anyone know much about this and can tell me why I definitely should forget that idea?

Hate poker more and more everyday and would like to find something else to put time into.

Have you considered a real jerb/studies?

TC, maybe this guy is looking for a partner https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/s...postcount=1826

Too much of a degenerate for that

If you're into the idea of a lifestyle business and don't care about making money (at all) for maybe 5+ years (or ever?) while you figure **** out, sounds like a good idea. If you're trying to make money, sounds like a dumpster fire. K.

Alan thrall and Brian Alsruhe have several vids on opening a gym.

gyms don't make money

do you have a big enough following that you can bill $125/hr+ for personal training to at least break even on rent? if the answer is no, then you're better off becoming a baccarat pro, less stressful as well

I got home from work and there was no alcohol in the house, and I made a special trip out to get some for consumption tonight.


According to Wikipedia
alcoholism is said to exist when two or more of the following conditions are present: a person drinks large amounts of alcohol over a long time period, has difficulty cutting down, acquiring and drinking alcohol takes up a great deal of time, alcohol is strongly desired, usage results in not fulfilling responsibilities, usage results in social problems, usage results in health problems, usage results in risky situations, withdrawal occurs when stopping, and alcohol tolerance has occurred with use.

Hmmm.......
