Re: Did you ride today?
Some epic rides are getting posted Congrats to all. It's been raining for a week. In all honestly it's kind of tough on the spirit. Suited up this morning for the normal Sunday ride a nice paced 60 miler in the country . Forecast called for no rain but started pouring . Relief is in sight.

Re: Did you ride today?
Wow, last night I wrote this nifty post about my first ride in weeks, the wonders of autumn, and how nice it was to have finally found a day to squeeze in a ride. I guess I never hit the post button! Lets just say we're having a week of wonderful autumn sunshine here in the Seattle area, and I'm trying to sneak a ride in here and there. I think once this weather ends the door will be shut until spring!
Did I mention how much fun it is to learn, late into the process of prepping a house for sale, that lenders won't offer a mortgage on a home with less than 5 years remaining on the roof. Our home is 14 years old and the cedar shake roof had no more than another year in it. We were going to re-roof just before my wife was offered the new position in Portland. We thought we could negotiate the roof with a buyer, but nope! Now I have roofers banging away on the nice $30K roof I'm buying for the next owner. Damn magnanimous of me! That would translate into some serious upgrades to my system, or be a big chunk towards the music room remodel in the new house in Portland.
Oh well, it should help us get our asking price, and hopefully quickly.
Ride on, my brothers, ride on.

Re: Did you ride today?
Doh! Well, you have a nice house to look forward to when it's all over. And if you do decide to retire when you get up to Portland, think of all the riding and listening you'll be able to do!!

Re: Did you ride today?
Doug, I saw this post earlier but forgot to reply back until I saw a Skratch ad today! I've been wondering about Skratch. Glad it works for you and you like it. I use to use Hammer Nutrition for my electrolyte drink, now I just bring two plain water bottles. I may try Skratch though as it does seem like a good product.
Thanks for the post and feedback!

Re: Did you ride today?
Getting chilly out there nowadays. Mid-30s when I started, not sure what it was when I finished. Stupidly I did some hills, so hot and sweaty going up the hills, cold and chilly on the long declines. I'm just going to do some flat pace rides for the winter...
Ride on, gentlemen.

Re: Did you ride today?
Allen, it's a tough time of the year to be conquering hills! These days you just have to put some miles in on the flats and be happy that you can get out there before it gets way too cold or there's too much snow to deal with. I'm hoping to get out tomorrow. Today was a nice sunny 55 degree day. Too bad the wind is gusting at about 50 miles per hour! I kid you not!!!

Re: Did you ride today?
Warm here in Seattle area today too, turned out about 60°. But instead of sneaking in a ride I grabbed the paintbrush and touched up a few spots after a realtor was here showing our house.
I'm so looking forward to getting on my bike, even for winter miles. When I'm thinking 'bout riding but not able to, my mind conjures up the following image, and I think all is fine in the world.
Attachment 3629
I know there are some strong teams in the Portland area, hopefully I'll meet some folks who push me hard and keep me honest. Still longing to hear the words "damn, that old guy can really drop the hammer". And after my time trial event late this summer, I realize I can hammer reasonably well, but I've got some serious training to do so next summer I can "represent".
And hopefully, just maybe, there will be some cute riders in Portland. I swear, with the exception of my wife of course, Seattle, in general, has the frumpiest looking women in the country. If I have to suck the wheel of some younger, fitter jock, can it please be someone like in the photo?

Re: Did you ride today?
It was 42 degrees when I went out this morning at 10:30. It was a beautiful sunny day, finally, and I did just a quick out-and-back of 35 miles. It was good to be on the bike as it had been about three weeks since my last ride. It's tough to get out this time of year with all the rain and otherwise just crummy weather.

Re: Did you ride today?
With the season upon us, its time to tell tales of your latest!
I finally joined a local gym about 5 weeks ago and started pounding away like a mad-man trying to restore the fitness level lost during the whole "move to Portland" hiatus. Thankfully, if the layoff isn't too long, your body will find its way back, but not without effort.
So last week was glorious spring weather here in Portland. The weekend was low 70's, clear, mild winds. Lots of sunshine. I used a "meetup" group to find some local folks and we did a little evening jaunt on Thursday, then I joined again on Sunday for a 46 mile ride. Already I am faster than this group, but they ride on rural roads like I prefer. We rode around some in the Willamette River valley, mostly on farm-to-market roads. Wow, I haven't done a mostly flat ride in years. It all felt so easy. Even though it was only my second ride outdoors this year, I felt I could have added another 20 miles without too much fatigue.
I'm going to have to find a faster group for a couple nights per week, but this group will be fun when I ride with wifey.
It felt so good to be out on the bike again. Spinning classes are good for training, but boring as hell compared to a warm sunny day on the road.
Ride on my brothers, ride on.

Makes me think of my friend's father, who's 71 years old, he often comes with us on the less strenuous rides. He can still grab a wheel at 35-38 kph if there are no hills so he's pretty fast. Anyways buddies his own age were asking him to go ride with them and he would always make excuses not to go. So his son one day asked him why he wouldn't go and the old man answers stoically "they are too old and they don't go fast enough for me".

Re: Did you ride today?
I'm glad you're able to go out and enjoy some time in the saddle. Keeps your mind off of other things, such as insurance BS. It is amazing how quickly our bodies can get back into the rhythm of exercise after a few months of being couch potatoes. I started doing rollers inside along with running every other day back in Feb. and I feel pretty strong. If all goes well I'm hoping to beat my 1K mile record of last summer.
Enjoy the ride my friends...Doug

Re: Did you ride today?
Ride on, gents!
Me? Still have saddle pains. The winter hibernation did not heal my sit bones but rather just made me soft. I can only do I ride during the weekend (thus far). If I ride on Saturday I can't even get on the saddle on Sundays. Need to see the Drs and see what's up...

Re: Did you ride today?
Allen, saddle sore or pain? Currently dealing with jock itch but also dealt with saddle sore previously, neither of which are fun but at the same time are manageable. Suspect if you don't have any outside symptoms you just don't have the right saddle, what do you have as a saddle and where does it hurt? If you have a good bike shop local they can loan you different saddle so you can try for longer ride. Will help you get rid of your pain in the butt.

Re: Did you ride today?
Hey Dan,
It's pain. Like a black and blue pain when pressed. On the sit bones, inside of the thighs. Surfing the forums it seems others get it there too. And your right, a new saddle generally does the trick. Oddly, I've had my old saddle for 1500-2000 miles and no issues. Then some time last fall when I started to put on some miles, it started hurting.:-(
I've tried about 4 or 5 saddles thus far. The current Fizik Antares seems to be pretty decent thus far. Any suggestions?
Thx
Allen
-
April 16, 2014, 09:59 PM #175
Did you try the Selle Italia SLR? About the same width as as the Fizik but not as stiff, the saddle is smoother mostly in the Flow version (flow has a hole in the middle to relieve the tender section) . I can live with the Antares but my preference goes for the SLR. Specifically I am fond of the SLR Kit Carbonio Flow or the discontinued SLR Gel Flow. BTW more than ever YMMV.

Re: Did you ride today?
I'm sure you know this, but be sure the width of your saddle is enough for the width of your sit bones. If you're sore inside of your sit bones, possibly your bones are not resting on the saddle and your soft tissue is. Also, saddles fail, and what was once supporting you might not be now. Sometimes there are small cracks in the supporting plastic beneath the padding, or even a fractured rail.
I suffered on a Flite saddle for a number of years, couldn't figure out why I was so sore after rides. I now ride a mountain saddle thats 148 wide. On my super sleek CYFAC it isn't the best fit aesthetically, but it works for my butt.
I'm going to try a couple different saddles this spring, but they'll be 145 wide so that limits the choices. Selle now has a Flite cut-away, and the SLR Superflow with a huge cut away that I want to try. Both can be had in a lightweight version.
My current saddle is a WTB Laser V. Shorter than most road saddles.
There are many shops that have a saddle loaner program.

Re: Did you ride today?
A Mtn. bike saddle on a road bike? Blasphemy! When you're putting in massive amounts of time on a small piece of leather it sure helps to have something that's comfy.
Allen, I don't know what all saddles you've tried. I use a Fizik (Arione) and find them to be pretty unforgiving until you get them just right. It sure seems like your saddle has just worn out for you to start having this problem. I'll second Dan's thought about getting a saddle with a cut-out in it. Sometimes if the saddle isn't positioned just right you can put a lot more weight on the soft tissue which may not be helping you. Keep trying different ones out, you'll get there eventually.Doug

April 17, 2014, 09:12 AM #178
Re: Did you ride today?
Allen, what seat do you have? I suspect an Arione or the likes which are not very wide. If your sit bone is wider on that kind of seat it will hurt on the inside of the bone, it feels as if your bones want to separate while riding.

Re: Did you ride today?
Hey guys, thanks for the suggestions, really appreciate it! I had the Arione which is long and somewhat narrow, but like I said, I put on a few K miles with it. I guess Bob may be right, the saddle may not be as supportive as before.
I've tried several different Selle Italia Flow seats: Flow Gel, Flow Max, etc, some Specialized Toupe's which I heard were good. None seem to work well for me. I'm now on a Fizik Anatares, a bit wider and shorter than the Arione, with a bit more padding on the nose. This one seems to work best so far, but I still have too much pain to ride the next day.
Bob, re: mountain bike seat: I was thinking of giving up being roadie altogether and just ride my mountain bike through some local trails. Still an option that I haven't tossed out yet.

If Arione was fine before just get another one and be done with it. If your seat is old it's just shot, do yourself a favor and test ride a new one and report back on a long ride. Use the old one on a cyclocross bike

Re: Did you ride today?
I use a Selle SMP saddle similar to this one-
Pro
I find them very comfortable and cool on long rides. The most comfortable seat that I had was an old very broken in Brooks Professional.
Is anyone using Michelin Pro 4 tires? I put the 23c's on my bike last year and I find them almost too sticky with the dual compound. They are supposed to be a fast, low rolling resistance tire with excellent cornering grip but they feel slow to me compared to my previous Conti's and Bontrager Race tires.
They are comfortable tires though and the ride reminds me of my sew ups (tubulars) that I ran on my old Peugot PX10 years ago (I rode that bike for almost 30 years). Those old tires were great but a pain to glue to the rims.My Gear- Mains System-Pass X250 amp, BAT VK-51se preamp, Luxman DA-06 DAC, Magnepan 1.6's, Thorens TD-145 TT, Dual Martin Logan Subs, Vintage Luxman T-110 Tuner, Cables-WW Platinum 7 USB, Cardas Parsec XLR, AQ Columbia DBS 72v XLR, Belden 8402 XLR.

Re: Did you ride today?
No on the Michelins, I am a Vittoria fan. The Open Corsa clinchers are 320 thread count (the same as the tubular) and ride, in my opinion, just like the tubular. Closest clincher to a tubular that I have ever ridden. However, they are a wee-bit fragile, better choice for when some of the winter debris has cleared away. If you want a little stronger casing you can go with the Pave which is what I'm riding now.
The new Pave comes 25 or 27 wide (previously 24), I just wish they would get rid of the funky green stripe. The Pave has an extra layer in the casing and is preferred by many pro teams for Paris Roubaix.
I will probably put the 25's on my carbon fiber bike once I've worn through my current 24s and I will put some 27's on my steel road bike where I previously always rode 28's.
When summer rolls around, I will switch to the open corsa, they are just too damn fun to ride. If you ever rode silk Clemente tubulars, you will love the Open Corsas. A little bit spendy, but then again we buy very expensive audio gear!

Re: Did you ride today?
I ride tubs (tubulars) and would not go without, they roll that much better and are lighter in acceleration and climbing. A 23mm tub feels like a 25-27 clincher. The only problem is the price when you puncture. Replacing a tub takes about 5 minutes when you flat. Most flats can be avoided as pinch flats are almost non existent and using products like Stan's Notube or the likes reduces them significantly. Anyways I ride Conti's Sprinter Gatorskin and GP4000, grippy, fast and long thread life. Have used Vittoria in the past but wear and puncture resistance wasn't great, riding them was smooth as butter though. Never tried the Michelin 4 but used the 3 before, lots of grip at the price of extreme wear, ouldn't get them to do more than 3,000k's. The one I really liked in clincher but can't find here in tubular is the Schwalbes, these thing did not wear, puncture resistance galore and very grippy, the only caveat was that they were pretty stiff so the ride could be rough.
Ok time to go glue a tub on a rim, then off for a ride!Dan

Re: Did you ride today?
When I was a teenager I learned to sew by repairing the flats in my tubulars. I would cut the stitching and pull the punctured part of the tube out and repair it. $20-$25 for a new tire was a lot of money for a 15 year old back in my day.
I use to ride Clemente's and Wolbers. The Wolbers were great for flat resistance as the model I bought had a steel belt.
I bought my current Micheline Pro 4's based on reviews of the older Pro 3's which were proven to have very low rolling resistance and needing less joules to go a certain distance over the best Conti's and a few others. I will ride them till they wear out or give them to my son. They do corner great and ride like a tubular though.
Here is an interesting link with a graph showing watts used for different tires, scroll down to the bottom of the page. It looks like I will be going back to the Conti GP4000's-

Back to saddles. I would buy another Brooks if someone could break it in with a couple of thousand miles.My Gear- Mains System-Pass X250 amp, BAT VK-51se preamp, Luxman DA-06 DAC, Magnepan 1.6's, Thorens TD-145 TT, Dual Martin Logan Subs, Vintage Luxman T-110 Tuner, Cables-WW Platinum 7 USB, Cardas Parsec XLR, AQ Columbia DBS 72v XLR, Belden 8402 XLR.

Re: Did you ride today?
But the Vittoria best the Conti GP4000's. Granted, its trivial, but still. I recommend you try a pair, or a pair of the Pavé. But be careful, you're gonna like 'em! Less than a dollar more at BikeTiresDirect. And, if you become a BikeTiresDirect gold member, and watch the daily specials too, you can sometimes get them for around $50/tire. (Conti's too!)

Re: Did you ride today?
A friend of mine told me about the SMP, but I can't seem to find it in stock anywhere. Maybe I'm not looking at the right places. Will try to locate one.
I'm a big fan of the Gatorskin tires. I'm no racer so I don't need the fastest tire out there. I used to get flats here and there, but never had any since using the Gatorskins.

Re: Did you ride today?
I have ordered from bike tires direct before. I scooped up a pair of Conti GP4000's for $36 each earlier. Next time around I will try the Vittoria's.
SocFan12, I went through a lot of saddles before settling on the SMP. They have various versions. My old A$$ needed a little more padding so I went with a version that had a little more comfort in mind. I had to email the company to find out who locally sold the SMP's here in the Twin Cities.My Gear- Mains System-Pass X250 amp, BAT VK-51se preamp, Luxman DA-06 DAC, Magnepan 1.6's, Thorens TD-145 TT, Dual Martin Logan Subs, Vintage Luxman T-110 Tuner, Cables-WW Platinum 7 USB, Cardas Parsec XLR, AQ Columbia DBS 72v XLR, Belden 8402 XLR.

Re: Did you ride today?
Well I didn't ride today, but I rode yesterday. A 66 mile loop with 4000 feet of climbing, and the return trip was into a brutal 32 mph sustained headwind, with gusts to 45. Temps generally mid 50's. Only my 3rd day out this season--it was brutal and today my legs feel like spaghetti. It was a loop best done in the spring, as later in season too hot and baked out dry. Yesterday was beautiful green everywhere.

Re: Did you ride today?
Several days after my epic last Saturday, I'm still a little under the weather. The last 20+ miles into that wind made the ride more like a century, or like adding another 10,000 ft of climbing. One of those rides I was not trained up enough for, and this mid-fifties body has had a rough few days recovering. Ugh!

Re: Did you ride today?
Bob, that was a grueling ride last week. That's easily a mid to late season ride for me! Kudos on doing it on ride #3 of the season! 32mph winds, yikes! I hate riding when the wind is 15+mph, let along 32mph!
Have you recovered fully now? Going riding this weekend?

Steve, Dan and Bob are in a class by themselves. Yesterday I went out on my 3rd or 4th ride of the season: 24 miles, 1,000+ feet of climbing, 13mph winds. And I'm sure Bob was still faster and stronger on his ride!
1,000 in 40km is no easy ride by any mean Allen, keep it up.

Re: Did you ride today?
It's nice to hear about your rides, guys. Just when I get some time to go out this week we're scheduled for rain the next six days. Looks like the trainer will be my friend.
Allen, how are things going with your rides? Is the saddle issue going away? Hopefully it becomes a thing of the past.
Steve, I can't speak for the other guys but as I get older I'm less concerned with going faster than going farther. With no kids around anymore, and a job that allows me great flexibility I have more time on my hands to do a 2-3 hour ride instead of an hour to stuff a ride into after work before getting back home to all of the family commitments. It's nice to be able to explore backroads that you never knew existed and become more familiar with the area you live in.Doug
