I may have ordered THE last Primal 'Jolly Roger' available in a 3XL as the line is discontinued. Hopefully it will fit. I have an XL Primal that is far too small for me but I am hoping the 2x size increase will allow me some room.

@kcjchang is that a Motobecane I see? The one RB I own is also a Motobecane. <3

Josh here from Virginia. 43 years old. 6' 7" and currently 245lb (down from 315lb). One 10 year old daughter that lives with me. (single dad here) Always loved cycling on a recreational level but for some idiotic reason I drifted from it. Decades later, I get a freebie MTB bike that's far too small but I rode it back and…

Hey friends... stopping in to say hello and thanks for the condolences and PM's I received. My grandmother did pass. She was 89, almost 90 and lived a great life and was at peace with herself and a servant of the Lord so we celebrated her life as she would have us do. I hope everyone is doing well and that Kelly is getting…

No better way to say 'lose more weight fatass' than by receiving a 4XL jersey and it still be too small. Albeit this brand 'Funkier' is known for running very small, but still. Even their biggest size is made for a very lean person. It's near fitting but def not wearable in public, yet. I got it to match my bicycle. Corny,…

I'm still on the same saddle.. I can't part with it. I am trying out different cycling shorts and I believe that has made the difference. Sugoi were the culprit, I believe. The Canari shorts and Trek bibs I acquired seem to work better for me. I'm still not 100% at ease but it has been a relief.

I've been there so let me mention a few things to do here. What are your flats coming from? In order to resolve, you MUST find this out. Is it a puncture going through the tire and in to the tube? A rock or a thorn or shard of glass? Did you inspect the inside wall of the tire to make sure the penetrant is no longer there?…

I am but thanks for the reminder. The shop that does offer a loaner program ($50 deposit) is the shop that fit me. Although I am not 100% sure of their fitting process and am reluctant to go back. Another shop that has the means to take an impression of the sit bones and measurement, who also seems more invested in that…

Thanks for the input everyone. All of these variables are overwhelming as are the variations of saddle choices. I feel that once I get this last issue resolved I should be good from here on. I think I might try out a Serfas since they do have a solid return policy through Amazon.

This seems like a good idea... the few sores I've had were always on the right, never the left side. My left knee has been operated on several times. Left hip, too. So maybe there's something to that....

I thiiiink this may be part of the problem. These sores didn't show until I got a pair of Sugoi shorts. And it looks like the stitch line for the chamois sits right along the same place where the sore is. I'm still investigating the possibility of it being these shorts. Not having saddle sores is paramount to my riding.…

Correct. https://www.strava.com/athletes/3166296 And I am aware, now. I read the TdF post and am up to speed. Make it 350km.

I am in. My first mfp challenge but I should be good for 200+ per week. Strava ID: Joshua J-Dat Atkins

Aww shucks. Well since you put it that way, ok. :blush: ETA: Wow thx everyone. Now I AM blushing. (same back to all yawl btw!) :mrgreen:

Oh neat! You can PLAY soundcloud links through the forum. You's guys are in trouble now. Flags forthcoming...

Pretty Lights is pretty much Trip-Hop & Downtempo. Check this guy out and let me know what you think. It's Drum & Bass. This guy has had my full attention for the past few years. Metrik https://soundcloud.com/metrik https://soundcloud.com/metrik/sets/universal-language (Single tracks from his EP, all are awesome)…

Thanks for asking, I was curious as well !!!

Yes, there were some glow things around my neck. I was a very proficient glowsticker back then. I'll see if I can link you to some of my favorite mixes later this evening. Soundcloud is a great resource for new music.

There's a local grill between work and home (read: temptation) that every Tuesday they offer a 1/2 lb burger with whatever you want on it (including bacon) plus boardwalk fries for $6. It's been about 5 months since I've had one but I think about that darn burger every stinking Tuesday. One of these days I am going to give…

Any specific genres you like more than others? I am a huge Drum & Bass fan but also like Breakbeats, Psytrance.... This is a photo from a party about 5 years ago. From what you can see my apparel was rather loud and eclectic. lol

I used to like drinking. I looove me a craft beer. Specifically dark, malty, stouts and porters.... but I just could not manage alcohol while also targeting getting healthy. With beer, like food, I binge. And the recovery became too much sacrifice to my daily routine and ultimate goal.

My ex had RLS and it was the worst. Getting kicked around like a soccer ball all night. >_<

I enjoy Halloween for the festive part of dressing up and all of the spooky stuffs that goes along with it but I haaate that my daughter always rakes in a boatload of candy. When she goes to her moms I make her take the candy with her cuz I know her mom and grandma will do some serious damage to the supply. If it stays at…

The aroma, the flavor, the fact you can add it to any edible thing imaginable and it becomes even better than without. I looove me some bacon. <3 With that being said, I haven't had any in a few months. :heartbreak:

That peanut BUSTER looks great. Which reminds me I tried the Talenti chocolate PB a few weeks back and it was pretty darn good. Chocolate Brownie was VERY good. I'm still trying to scrub that brand from my memory and temptations...

Yup! I become the human form of an anaconda after a meal. Just give me a bed to lay down in so I can digest this food.
