Anyone doing BRAG (Bicycle Ride Across Georgia)
- Thread starter shaneadams90
- Start date
I attempted BRAG in 1988 and had to drop out and call my dad for a ride home. 
Had an osteochondroma of the left distal femur that was killing me.
Operated on/repaired a few months later and ortho did a great job as it survived Parris Island after recovery and getting back in shape. Has never bothered me since.
Glad to see its still going on and would like to conquer it one day.
Good luck and have fun!
BTW....I still want to come see you about getting a mountain bike!

Not me but my cousin and her husband do the tandem BRAG thing.
Not sure if they are still into it or not. Getting ready to sell their house and do the RV thing across the country.

Bicycles don't belong on the roads. Can't do the speed limit, stay the **** off the road.

here it goesCarbon:
I ride what I want to sell...so that means I normally* ride Trek Road bikes...always Carbon..Love me some carbon.
Strava?
I quit riding with Data a long time ago...all it does is tell me how fast I USED to be and how SLOW I am now..The only data I keep is how much time in the saddle I spend.
Ceramic Bearings:
Depends.. Road bike = Yes please...every where.
MTB= Not worth it as they wear quickly due to harsh condition and are expensive to replace.
Watts?
Measurement of power....far superior way of actually training...especially when paired with Heart Rate Monitor and someone the knows how to merge the two data streams...
Now I ride what I sell...but the bike below is my full custom STEEL Road back... her name is Fastback.
Features
Carol Shelby inspired paint job

Gosh, now there is an original argument I've never heard before as cyclist of 30 years....
