Where have you gone Earth Seductress? I mean you come in here for five minutes usually, get everyone worked up with a raunchy video or seductive line and then you're gone. Like the wind.

OK I'm fantasizing about the stuff in parentheses above. Though NNS has been teasing me on this thread recently. Did you know she is married? Are you married? I'm not trying to hit on you or anything. I'm just doing a survey. I'll be very popular with the other cycling dorks when I post the results.

The vertical axis on Bro's chart is FEET, while the horizontal is MILES. That exagerates the climbing, which is fine, but you have to recognize that fact. If you were to graph with the same axes you'd see a basically flat chart. All those climbs do not add up to a lot of distance that isn't reflected in the horizontal.Yeah I know.... but I thought it might still be significant. So...with further curiosity - using the Pythagorean Theorem - the first climb is about 3300ft on 10 miles.
So 3300^2 + 52800^2.....take the square root.....you get 10.0195 miles traveled on the hypotenuse [see DMJ it occasionally comes in handy].
Therefore it adds about 100 feet to a 10 mile climb. If the same gradient went throughout the race (on uphills and downhills)....just assuming....that would add about 1000ft to the distance by my calculation.....or about 300 yds assuming some flat portions.
You're right though....assuming my calcs aren't mistaken.....it's not that significant but still....it's something for Bro Deal to think about when he is 300 yards from the finish:) .

and to shut up what's his name http://cyclingforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gifI hope you are not suggesting that if we all ignore him, he'll go away. I think that has been tried before. Now we have new help with weapons, so I just like to get a bit of tongue-poking in before we say good-bye.
BTW - I hope no one wants to access cyclingforums.com in the future from that internet cafe he just used.

lwThat's the intent, however it's only about 4 pages of interesting content, after you've waded through the junk posted by Crankyfeet.

Now we know another reason why Michael Rasmussen isn't the fastest descender in the peleton. If he had your crash (having no shoulder flesh at all) his arm might have ground off.

ROFL!

Can I see a picture? Please?OK, it started innocently like this. I'll use my avatar to change the pic, so its easier to censure later.

oh oh, bringing out the big guns right now....
I laughed for five minutes straight. This could be because I haven't been getting enough sleep lately, or maybe I'm just in a good mood....
You've upped the ante. I guess it's my turn...

The Seductress understands the minimalist approach and comes up with the "Post of the Thread" so far, IMHO.
The minimalist approach is something I struggle with, as you probably understand after seeing me in Lethal Weapon 1, 2, 3....and in this thread.

Yes Lim tells me that if we can get it up to 10,000 posts he might consider it as slightly sticky, perhaps "tacky". Although "Vuelta: Stages 13" & "...14" will take some dislodging.
In any case, IMHO this thread doesn't need a "sticky" tag, as long as I keep posting every 20 mins. We'll just need other posters, in the end, that aren't completely turned off by "Cranky the Bore".

Can I see a picture? Please?Well I'll let you know what happened next.
You see, we were chattin' away in the forum around page 22 or 23, and it got a little heated with the flirt banter, and she said something about falling in love with me, and you know how guys usually run away from that one, but we had the safety of the forum anonymity. Anyway I says "Don't take your panties off yet", that I was only considering her out of multitudes of options (bluff, bluff). And then anyway, she presents me with something like this:

So immediately the stakes have changed so I quickly disrobed, went to the Private Message Room and said:
"Are you coming in....I'm naked"
Looking something like this:

And then it just all proceeded from there.
What can I say?
It was virtually magnificent.
Now I find out she's married and her husband likes guns.:(

Don't want to get shot in the saddle? Doesn't that add to the excitement?
