How was the Baja trip?

We really didn't do as well as expected but we did finish up the endurance race yesterday with a working car.

Just found out the unofficial results are posted. 41st overall

Mainly the competition objective of making a vehicle for the average weekend off road enthusiast is pretty much a lie. Some how teams with chromoly frame custom platics and carbon fiber panels can cost less on the cost report then a team with Carbon Steel DOM, and aluminum body panels.

We didn't get any kind of points for being one of very few teams that passed tech inspection first try. Then they gave away an "attention to detail" award for teams that were always prepared, and had all there registration covered, etc... Something we always did and then they give the award to Cornell, a fancy team that didn't even pass tech the first time.

Prostate is fine, ass is actually pretty good as well. After lunch I am going to go try for another 10mi. It may rain me out though and I can't do it this morning due to conference call hell.

riding a pedal bike seat for any extreme distance makes me want to hurt people in horrible horrible ways.

If god intended us to pedal for long distances he would not have given us the elec motor or combustion engine.

I'd rather pedal than run, rollerblade, walk, or any other aerobic exercise I can think of. I am going to get in shape and I am going to enjoy it.

I'm just talking trash. I love pedaling, I'm just a wuss with the whole hard seat thing.

I enjoy martial arts or hiking more than pedaling I think but it's close. The bicycle is one of those amazing inventions that I can't help but love.

After riding the exercise bike at the gym thats layed back makes me understand why people ride them gay looking recumbent bikes. It sure is easier on the back and joints and everything else, more than a conventional bike that is. I don't know that you will catch me riding a recumbent bike any time soon though.tongue.gif

I am just glad I can start hiking again, there are so many awesome trails around here, and that shit is good cardio.biggrin.gif I fucking hate jogging on pavement.

Because their Chromoly is all donated. :P

That should be closer to $25k, although they have adders for mods that I'd never use so my price is biased. I've seen some running ones go for near $20. I need one like that as I get to cut it up just to fit inside :P
