Members Knutsaq Posted January 4, 2013 Members Share Posted January 4, 2013 Great to see so many motivated riders. Because of my work schedule I often can only get out on the weekends and riding is the one thing I look forward to all week.I ride off-road almost exclusively and with the SoCal weather am able to ride year round, so I am very lucky. Will be on the trails tomorrow morning for a hard ride before football starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members newholland Posted January 4, 2013 Members Share Posted January 4, 2013 so far, only one ride in 2012-- an uncharacteristically flat 3 hour jobby on road bikes. damp and cold-- but a decent spin nonetheless, and not so bad considering it was 36 degrees Hopefully headed out again Sunday coming up for a gravel road ride. The holidays were fantastic for riding, and got in about 15 hours on the bike, which managed to get me a hellacious cold, but so worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Weathered Posted January 5, 2013 Members Share Posted January 5, 2013 Going to watch the first half of the first playoff game today on the trainer - figure that's a solid 75-80 minutes at least, and I'm going to try and keep the cadence over 80 the whole time. I'm starting to think about my next bike (even though I promised myself that I'd wait until after I graduate from grad school). This one gets some serious bloodflow going to my nether regions: One of our local bike shops just started carrying Pinarello, so I may test ride one this spring. Debating getting one built up with Ultegra and going with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members paul88lx Posted January 5, 2013 Members Share Posted January 5, 2013 That is sexy. What's the price?I figure I'll be happy on a 105 group. I'm sticking with Shimano since STI shifters are bast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It lists for like $3K with Ultegra - Competitive Cyclist has it on sale for $2,500 right now, but I figure it'd be a little more to buy it locally, which I'm perfectly happy to pay to have local support.

I agree. The sales tax and difference in price is offset by the service you end up with over the long haul. Not to mention, warranty representation.
