Bikes for sale

2009-12-18T21:41:39Z

Hi teams.
I am selling my 2009 Specialized Tarmac SL2, 56 cm, full Dura-Ace 7900, 175 mm cranks. It was their top-end bike this past year. I am selling it without wheels. You get frame, fork, headset, components, everything - just no wheels (and if you're picky, no cassette). If you're interested, let me know and I'll send you a link to the Craigslist ad once it's up. Website: [link] The retail price on this bike, when new, was $8500. I am asking $3000 OBO.

Weekend rides

2009-12-18T17:36:45Z

I assume there are at least some people still around this weekend.
How about 9 AM on Saturday for a ride to Pescadero (I haven't had
artichoke bread in a while) and 9 AM Sunday for something yet to be
determined? See you at the post office.

TT bike riding tomorrow?

2009-12-18T07:59:53Z

Hey everyone,
Anyone interested in riding TT bikes tomorrow? I'm thinking I'm going to
take the day off of work so any time would work. Let me know. I'm not
thinking of going hard or anything, just a reasonable pace.

I don't know if anyone is still around now that finals are over and school is mostly closed. However, if you are, its pretty nice out. The sun is shinning and its almost warm. I really need to ride today, and would appreciate company.

How does 2:00, rolling out about 2:05 sound? From the post office of course.

otherwise I'll just set up shop in the covered walkway outside the

Hi team. Due to physical therapist's and doctor's recommendations, I will not be leading rides this weekend, or for the next few weeks. If you are around over break, feel free to post to the Google Group if you'd like company. Hopefully many of the new riders have learned their way around the peninsula a little bit. :)

I'm waiting outside the operating room now, surgeries before mine took

was pretty serious because I could see it bulging against my skin. The

Re: [SU Cycling] Re: Collarbone surgery repercussions

2009-12-08T20:41:47Z

Tim,
It is true that surgery was seldom done years ago. The current medical
opinion is that surgery is a good idea most of the time. The real issue is
whether the bone is completely broken and whether it is displaced or not. A
displaced break will not heal straight and may take a long time to heal.

Re: Collarbone surgery repercussions

2009-12-08T20:25:19Z

Tim,

I might be chiming in too late here, and maybe asking too obvious a
question, but is the collarbone surgery 100% necessary? Different
orthopedists will say different things regarding collarbone surgery.
10-15 years ago, they rarely ever operated... now its much more
common. Has the procedure's effectiveness really shifted that

shot. It might be frosty though!

We'll see. But I won't be there tomorrow morning.

2009-12-04T17:49:03Z

Hi team. I will be leading rides from the PO this weekend, as usual.

Saturday: Meet at 9:00, leave at 9:15 on the bell. Route TBD; suggestions welcome. "Long ride" will be 4 hrs; there will be turnaround options if you need to get back and study.

Sunday: Meet at 8:00, leave at 8:15 on the bell. Route TBD, but will likely involve heading south to avoid potentially bad weather. I have suggested Bohlman & Black, two climbs near Los Gatos. This ride is 4-5 hours; one can turn around at Los Gatos (2-3 hr flattish ride), after Bohlman (3-4 hr ride), or do the whole ride (4-5 hrs). The prize after climbing Bohlman is the fun descent down Montevina. My hip doctor says I have to ride slow, so the pace won't be crackin' at any point. Sunday is supposed to be chilly.
