Bicycle Brahs Part 3 - Riding is our leg day (literally bicycle)

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

I got some deity deftrap composite flat pedals and they are incredible.

This is the first concave flat pedal I've ever used and can't believe how much better it is. I'm 100% getting the deity t-macs as my next pedal.

Remember this f'kr? I'm back bitches. Just going to post in here in this thread to keep it alive on a dying gay Indian forum. Though maybe not a whole lot after this as I severely injured myself. Completely ripped out my Achilles Tendon from my ankle bone. Took bone fragments with it. Surgeon cleaned out the bone fragments then had to attach the tendon back to the ankle with anchors. 8 weeks before I can even WALK on it.

Tore it 2 days (50-year trail) before the 24hour mountain bike race in Tucson. Still raced including the LeMans running start because I'm not a pu$$y. Was able to race 4 laps (65miles) in the desert with one leg including the rock drop and hitting the kicker all 4 times.

Ran clipped in on my good foot, and ran flats on the ripped foot. Didn't come in last. My team took a total of 6 laps (I ran 4, my brother ran 2. LOL!).

Also.. no longer NEET lifestyle. Got a full-time job as a bike mechanic at a local bike shop in the valley. I'm using a leg crutch. I can walk hands-free including lifting and wrenching.





Hawes - Mine Trail (before the injury)


SoMo West National Trail


Riding with Trail Bunnies because I'm a stud




Taken 2 days ago. Lost some upper body mass since my last break of my collarbone.


8 weeks before I can even WALK on it.


Stitches (WARNING: GROSS)

Spoiler!

Christ brah. You've had far more serious injuries in a year than I've had in over 20 years of very serious riding. Also, your idea of racing with a truly fuked up leg is not ideal.

You need to lift off the gas a bit. Ded fukin SRS. This path you're on isn't sustainable.

[Tuksonrider]

YOLO, breh. Go hard or go home.

Honestly, I'm either addicted to pain, or I just don't feel it.

Also why I workout until true failure. There is no pain, no exhaustion, I just go until I simply cannot lift weight anymore. Then I count to 10, and squeeze out a few more reps, then rest 3 minutes until next set.

Pic above is me cold. Just started working out again with a gimp leg, and somewhat healed collarbone. Started riding hard exactly 2 weeks after breaking my collarbone. Subtle brag, but I turn 52 this month.

Gonna get jacked AF until I can ride again.

Was just out 4 hours/42 miles on the SS MTB.

Absolutely perfect outside.

Noice. Where'd you ride.

Better the f'k not say pavement or gravel.

[Tuksonrider]

Back on the bike, bitches.

First post-surgery ride. Still in a hard cast.

7 miles around San Tan Regional park. Only fell once... on my good side and back. Unfortunately, fell off the trail, and landed in cactus and sticker bush. Back and arms covered in needles. HAHAHA! yeah, funny. Pain is funny.

ordered a Fanttik X9 Ace mini air pump to give a try

I do a couple weekly rides with a big group and been a lot of flats on rides lately and them emergency mini hand pumps are not the solution & would need a pocketfull of C02s

so making a new kit for these specific rides

crazy how many people ride 20+ miles with absolutely zero tools not even a pocket multi tool

[Tuksonrider]

Day off, 2nd ride with cast. Riding one foot clipped in, pedal removed on the other side. Didn't fall over this time.

Even pedaling with one foot, was able to pass 2 riders on eBikes. LOL. Going downhill though. Uphill, forget it.

Then went to the gym.

No lie, if you're using roadie tubes, buy the tubes with removable valve cores, and shoot 1 oz of STANS sealant into the tube.

Even at 100 psi, the Stan's will stop the tube from losing air.

Using Stan's has saved me from so many flat tires I have lost count.

Stans says it only works up to like 40 psi, but that is incorrect... 100 psi it works perfect.

My current front tube has had maybe 6 holes in it, but all sealed themselves and im still using that tube.

Road some of Hawes. All flow; Maricopa Madness, Scorpion, Scorpion Alley, Stinger back to Wild Horse.

Fast for me riding with one foot, one pedal.

[wasp9166]

Haven't been out yet ,still too cool on ny mornings

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

**** lost my charging cable to charge my shimano drive train can't change my gears

Try the cable actuated shifters - they work, and no battery.

[wtfLandlord]

Tore it MTBing, hyper-extended my ankle and landed on it.

"dropping with a wrap?" I don't understand. What wrap?

I had no wrap.

Hawes again today. Little over 7 miles.

Subtle brag.. passing riders while pedaling with one foot and the other in a hard cast AFTER a huge head start feels good, mane.

Speed is life:

Just picked up a beautifully comped Megatower. Now that mud season has hit, time to rock the desert.

Oooooh what color you get? I got mine last year and am pretty hyped on it. You think you love it now wait till its downhill season

Blue frame, orange fork, orange coil, kashima coating on fork and seatpost. Dressed up in XX1 components. Complete custom build. I have a Session for park days, but might try some laps with the Megatower and see how it compares. Unlike the Session, I'll be able to rock out the climbs on the Megatower.

[Tuksonrider]

Out riding today for tome flow at Hawes. Still riding one-footed with a cast on.

Saw this cute little guy on the trail, just hanging out.



Flow down Scorpion trail

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

Very early sunrise rides are in-season. I'll be on the trail at 5:00am sharp.

I'm doing a ride streak for May (ride a minimum 30 minutes every single day). I'm finding it very easy from a motivation standpoint, but the days I do 40+ miles make the following day very slow.

I pulled out a 40 mile ride on my folding bike the other day which is just pure LULZ.

Today I'm going to pull it back a little and actually drive to the trailhead for mountain biking.

One of my annual goals is to drive my car less as a result of bicycling. Most years I drive my car more as a result of bicycling, which makes no sense lol. So I've been riding the 10 miles or so to the trail which is pretty tedious when you are riding every day.

What trail?

I'm doing early morning rides as well. Once I get back on my motorcycle, I'll do more riding throughout the week before work shifts.

Right now, I'm just doing early morning rides on my days off.

I hear you about the amount of vehicular travel to get to the trailheads. Sucks, which is why I can't wait to get back on my motorcycle to ride to the trailheads.

When we riding, bruh? I know you got mtb skillz.

Zwift price increase is pretty crazy and I am not even poor
I would keep my membership through the year even though I only use in winter but not I will only keep it for three-four months
