......

I'm training for two late season IMs. I'll do other races in the spring and summer as preparation/fitness tests. The IMs are the big goals.

Bikes:
Road: 2002 Merckx Team SC
Tri: 2004 Cervelo P3

Location: Central Illinois. Worst place in the world to live. Very very very very flat. The only hills in about 4 counties are freeway overpasses.

Any run that doesn't include pooping in someone's front yard is a win.

I feel your pain. I, myself, live in a certain armpit of the great lakes region. When I was a stupid college boy here, I'd go out with a friend and (after TTT'ing out to the countryside) we'd half-wheel each other in a (usually roaring in springtime) headwind or crosswind until one of us cracked. Trippy. We'd have routes like "col de la state line road" or "alto de Blissfield".

Hills are a treat. Flat, windy rides just break your soul.

SIC VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM

http://physasst.blogspot.com/

I am slowly twitching my way into the triathlon world, transitioning from mtb and road racing. Working on sprints now with aspirations of 1/2 IM.

06 Specialized Transition
05 On-One 29er single speed
04 Specialized Epic
01 Trek 5900 OCLV (USPS edition)

I ride and race all over New England, trying to concentrate on triathlons, but still do the occasional road crit or mtb race.

Tri Bike: Guru Crono '06, DA
Road Bike: Specialized S-Works E5 '06, DA

My Felt DA '03 and Felt F1R '03 are now both for sale.

The occasional tri, mainly sprints. I like to train more then race. Also, its hard for me to find time being a single parent of a 4 year old.

Bikes: Cervelo P3SL and a Colnago C40

Im currently stationed at Fort Polk, LA. I do most of my rides on post. Little to no traffic in the training areas but the roads suck. My longer rides are done on the "nicer" roads off post.

crit races and all distance tri's

I ride a 2006 orbea opal with ksyrium sl's and DA

And I train in cleveland and race pretty much anywhere

@CycleHeavy

I see you live in Vevey. I bought a couple of hospitals in your area in the 1980s for one of my clients. Charmette Hospital in Lasaunne and Clinque de Genolier in Genolier. Had dinner in Vevey at Dr. Hauf's house cooked by suposedly the No. 1 cook in the world at the time Chiardre (sic)? It was 11 pm, I was tired, and did not apppreciate it.
Once ran along Lake Lamond (Geneva) in Lausanne with a shower cap from the Beau Rivage Hotel. It was cold and, as they say, "any port in a storm." The Swiss stared at me as if I was an alien and gave me their extra dour look they save for anyone doing anything unSwisslike.

Annually do about 6-10 5k and 10k races, one du and 3-5 sprint tris (retired from olys when I turned 50). Ride a 2002 Cervelo One and usually only race in Chicagoland unless I get the itch to race in Wisconsin and kick some Packer fan butt. Da Bears.

What sport are you slowly twitching? (tri Oly, Du, TT, Mtb?..)

What make/model/year of bike(s) do you have?

Where do you reside and where do you ride? (generally, no addresses)

• Mainly Long-distance Tri stuff
• 2007 Litespeed Saber (being built right now)
• Live in Edmonton, Alberta...ride locally but try to get to the mountains 3-4 times a year for some long rides and climbs!

Training for my 1st Ironman, otherwise have done a sprint and 3 oympic. Seriously contemplating a 50mile ultra run just to spite my wife who says I will injure myself (all though I probably will). And no, I have never been into running untill a couple years ago.

2006 Kuota K-Factor with Spinergy PBO Stealths, carbon Bontrager compact crank, and the usual other stuff.
2004 Klein Aura X road bike with the only upgrade being a set of Bontrager Race X-Lite Aero wheels.

I live in Ames Iowa, home of the Iowa State University Cyclones (and yes we currently suck in just about everything but wrestling but we hired all new coaches for just about every sport so give it some time) I mainly ride from house, but am considering trying to hang with the local roadie group ride from my LBS, but I think they are a bit to fast for me right now.

Discipline:
Just about everything

Bikes: (several of which are loaned out to different people)

Elite Razor Custom(03)
Xplosive Road bike(06)
3 Redline Cross bikes
Yeti ASRX (05)
Yeti ARC (05)
Calfee Track Bike (bought from a friend. The frame has 10 world championships and a world record in it - none of them mine!)
Raleigh Track Bike (older than I am)
Ibis Custom mtn. bike (Mid 80's)
Fat City Yo Eddy (I forget)
TiCycles Custom Road Bike (96)
2 TiCycles Cross bikes ('01)
Prototype Russian Ti Road Bike (fenderized)
Centurian Prestige-tubed road frame, fixe fender bike conversion (I have no idea)

Live in Seattle, ride all over the place.
