Ask Dr. PStupid, kewlness

Ahh little-man-from-outer-space-that-some-contrive-to-be-a-religious-story,

I answer one question per day. Not one person/entity/thing gets to
ask one question per day.
You are as confused as those that think that about the story.

In some CityCenters they are known to hang w/ the Crossin' Crowd.
Now which Crossin' crowd are we talking?
Depends on where you hang.
In Motown the HotChix ride Cross. QBB, Traci, Lauri, etc.
Grrls, you wanna be Haut, ride/race Cross.

It is at least partially true.
The Team Bi-atch & Cougar Fest! bus always has cowbells and usually
has at least two cans of libations.

At the bigger MetroSexual Races they usually have tons of cowbells,
sometimes giving them away, and usually there is fermented beverage
available. Either a free-standing keg, a full-on Euro-style Beer
tent, or just scads of fellow folks w/ their own drinks that are more
than happy to avail you of your need for drink.

At the Ed Sander Cross race, I was doing poorly and on the backside
they had PartyCentral. On the last lap they were wondering what I
would do, so I announced that I needed a beer. At the top of the
little rise some fellow friend had a Black & Tan gleefully waiting for
me, cracked open and everything.
"Not a sip, not a dribble, but the whole damn bottle." Joe J.
exclaimed as I downed the beverage and rode off to the finish line.

See you can both drink on the course and off.
But only if you've practiced these things. Which I have.
Thank the Lord Baby Bi-atch.

We're needing to do some more prep. work before our early morning
departure to Iron Cross, so I will answer this question in full when I
get back, or have some time.

For a hint-
Sometimes it's best to be off the bike, three-point contact style, in
to that corner. Then you are all ready to dismount fully and run up
the hill.
Now you can appreciate why I had you do those silly drills, and why I
encourage you do to more of them.
It is a good and useful skill to have.

See ya Mr. T.

That's a pretty good question actually.
I know of one person in Motown that had a Popad, but got rid of it
because of it's namesake being a jerk to our good friend Floyd.
Buying or not buying that bike isn't going to help or hinder Lemonade.
The company has been gotten rid of by Trek.
You'd be helping yourself by getting a decent byke for a good price
and you'd be helping that LBS by giving him money.
Some like the Popad, others have said that either the disc model or
the non-disc model has a wimpy fork or something. Ride the beast if
you can, lay on the front brake and see how she handles.
Discs are pretty cool but not entirely necessary, and illegal for some
Cross races.

What's wrong w/ the trusty Frazee machine?

If you do get the Lemonade you can always put cool Domo stickers on it.

But regardless, you should show up to at least a couple Cross
practices. There are a fine time and you might even learn something
useful (from someone else, not me).

Ask Dr. PStupid, SNFU reference

"dr, stupid, if I poop, should I wipe or wait?"

As my friends from SNFU say "Don't Swear Or You'll Catch No Fish"

If on the bike-
You though should wait, cause it's only gonna get worse.

Or as my old friends from BC (Kona riders)-
"Better check 'em. Better yet, just chuck 'em."

Bruce Spicer, Cindy Devine, and Chris ? rode for Kona.
Big Joe Buscombe rode for Brodie.
Boy we had some fun traveling from Mammoth, CA to Park City, UT...
I was just some hack Pro rider, but someone who was helping them knew
one of my buddies and they let me take along for a week and a half.
1992 it was.
Bruce had an old Toyota FJ40 named Bertha. Big Joe had a regular Toyo
PU. And we drove off into the desert...

Ask Dr. Stupid, the shite hits

Sorry 'bout that folks,

Had Ren Hoek's lawyer hounding me all day yesterday.
So I had to change my name.

Hope this doesn't cause any confusion.

On to someone's only slightly ridiculous question-
"Dear Dr. (P)Stupid,

Does your bike need a flux capacitor to do that Middletown race?
Where can I get one?"


Well CZ,

You apparently thought that you had to have one to race, and since you
couldn't find one, decided not to race.
You missed a fine event! We had FauxBras, Cougar Fest, and kind of an
old school course-
http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=59131
You'll have to search elsewhere to find the FauxBras and Cougar Fest.

While the flux capacitor is illegal for USCF sanctioned races, it's
pretty much allowed at the other races that you'll find here, there,
and somewhere.

Like this w/e, Iron Cross!!!-
http://www.bikereg.com/events/register.asp?eventid=6654
Saturday is IC Lite, USCF hassled, so leave the fluxcy. off, but for
Iron Cross you can put it back on and "go like hell".

So what else is new?
Well I transferred the old Fort Uno into a SS Cross Demon Machine.
Put some newer bars on it, they call it "New Ergo" or "Compact" bend.
It's a large radius hook, that ends abruptly at the top where it
squares off. Very comfy with lots of places to put your hand. FSA
makes some, Bontrager calls it the VR bend, Control Tech may have one.
Slapped on some of those Cane Creek/Tektro levers that look kind of
like Campy or SRAM levers, and the whole setup feels quite a bit like
the Cannondale Cross Machines that we race on.
Put on some 700x30 Cross tyres and we had laying around the museum...
and promptly flatted going down the trail from Forest Ave. to the
Deckers Creek Rail-Trail.
30 is just not big enough when you're used to more.
Went over to Marilla to check it out and sure enough, it is not a
smooth ride at all w/ the tyres inflated enough to make certain that I
don't flat for the third time in two days...
I can run a larger tyre on that bike and I will.
Put a 38t front ring on it, so I'm running 38x19, which will just have
to be fine.

Uh oh, Stinky Wizzleteats is at the door.
I gotta go.

Ask Dr. Stupid, someone else thinks they're special

Ack.

I prefer to have folks get that "cross experience", but if you want to
bump and grind your way around the course, you are more than welcome
to.

I checked in the Subterranean Museum, and we could put 8 actual Cross
bikes together, two or six more that would suffice, i.e. older road
bikes that would work great enough as Cross bikes.
You were about spot on there Rolo.

Well Mr. Flintstone,

I may need to put on my special cycling cap for this one, as it's both
an easy and potentially difficult question to answer.

A (Shimano, SRAM, etc.) 8 speed cassette has the same spacing between
the cogs, regardless of application. So do 9 speed and 10 speed.
Although the distance between cogs is different for 8,9,10 (amoungst
other things).
Campy may do some strange things, they're allowed, they are Italian
and God-like.
Prior to 8 speed, they did have different spacing between cogs, but it
was more based on Brand, i.e. Suntour, Shimano, Regina.

From 8 speed to 10 speed, the total width of the cassette is about the same.
Meaning you can put a fancy-dancy 10 speed cassette on an older 8 speed hub.
I just did it downstairs, just to make sure (and I needed to know myself).
Again, Campy is probably stupid... I mean different.

Doesn't mean that your 8 speed shifters are going to work w/ the 10
speed though.
AND, more importantly, not all road ders. are capable of handling the
large cogs typically found on a "mtb" cassette.

But...
Cassettes are cassettes. If you want to run an 11x23 on your mtb,
then you can, and if you want to run a 12x34 on your Carbon road
machine, then you can (w/ maybe a new der.).

A Road wheel has different spacing than a MTB wheel.
Road rr. wheel is 130mm from dropout to dropout.
MTB rr. wheel is 135mm.
http://www.sheldonbrown.com/frame-spacing.html

The only relevance there is that although you have a 29er wheel, and
the rim size is 700c as well. It will not (w/o frame spreading) fit
in your road frame.
And it's probably got a disc brake too.
This does mean that you *can* if you want, run some sweet cross tyres
(or any 700c road tyre) on that 29er of yours.

Course this can be more complicated too.
Different companies, different years, different speeds.
What a headache.

The good Doctor says to take two, fiddle w/ your bikes, and ride it in
the morning.

Dr. Stupid, Another Day

Today's another day!!

"Dr. Stupid, I'm not made of cash and I don't want to sell my sister
just yet, can I use my road bike or mountain bike for Cross? What
about my dad's Hybrid?

Your pal,

Stiney"


Well Stiney,

You might try raiding your folks "secret" drawer, or nose around in
your sisters bedroom, or just sell some of your Beanie Babies.
If that fails then by all means you can race/play Cross on one of
those other bikes.

For the more Cross "experience" I would go with your road bike, unless
it's one of those fancy-schmancy ones w/ very little tyre clearance.
An old steel plain-Jane road frame works best. They general have
clearance for a 28-30c tyre, they "give" a bit, and they can be had
for cheap.
Put some lower gears up front.
With a traditional 130mm bolt-circle crank you can run a 38 and you'll
really not need anything larger than a 46.
If you're lucky enough to have a compact 110mm bolt-circle crank then
you can run a 34 which is very sweet and a 46.
Run what ever shifters you got; them lever-swingie-things, or on the
down-tube, or get "real" and use those Bar-Cons your Uncle left you in
the will.
Maybe go and check out some used old road bikes, heard Vlad at
PositiveSpin might have some.

If you *have* to use the MTB then you're gonna want to get ride of
some ballast, like that suspension fork. Also those big fluffy tyres
can hit the road, put on some 1.5s or smaller, they'll be fine. If
you're going to race and it's on of them there USCF ordeals you'll
have to huck the bar-ends too, those wacky officials don't like the
"poke somebody in the butt" devices.

Dad's Hybrid would probably work well, as they generally come w/
somewhat skinny 700c tyres. It'll be a little upright, but you can
fix that w/ a hammer or wrench. It'll also probably have lots of
gears, but since it's Dad's I'd just leave them alone and run what you
brung.
Get ride of the handlebar bag, the rack, and the orange flag though.

On any of these rides your saddle position should be the same as it
always is. You do measure and check that right? Good.
Your reach can be the same or shorter and the bar drop can be the same
or a bit less.
Other than that, the motor needs to be in the same place.

Now get out there, stop w/ your excuses Stiney, and don't forget my danish,

DrS.

Ask Dr. Stupid, the OG

Today's Cross question is-
"What tyre pressure should I run?"

Well that's a good question. But it's more complicated than just a
single answer.
1) Run about as big a tyre as you can on your bike. 700x30 at least.
32-34 better. 25-27s are too small. Really. Decent for dirt road
rides, but that' about it.
2) Run as low as you can given the course and your heft. This isn't
road racing and low rolling resistence. It's about absorbing the
bumps and keeping the bike and wheels on the ground.
With clinchers you want to *really* not bottom out, but maybe come
close once per lap. With tubulars you can run really low pressure and
with big tubulars you can run stupid low pressure, if the course
dictates it.
Lower is faster on a true Cross course.
Average cyclist running a 700x35 tyre- 42 in the front, 45 in the
rear. Decent starting point, adjust accordingly.

Tomorrow I'll answer another, or make up one, or just go away.

Gary, I still have your mug w/ a sock soaking in beer.

So you want to ride the trainer, indoors type training as opposed to
riding outside which we Bi-atches really prefer...

You won't burn up your wheels that badly on the trainer, but you will
burn up your tires. Put some cheapies on. You might bung up those fancy skewers depending on how the trainer mounts.
Ha ha, "ride the trainer", "how the trainer mounts". You ask MikeY about all that!

Do you have another set of wheels?
They call the Ksyrium's "race" wheels. You shouldn't "train" on them.
You should have a set of training wheels.

Better yet is to ride your "whatever" bike w/ the training wheels on outside.
"It's always better Outside." I think I should sell that to iPlayOutside...

Post Endurance Race Recovery Fuel

There are hundreds of products out there that claim to be the best recovery drink after such a physically demanding event. They spend millions to have some celebrity athlete push their goods but in the end do we really know if these things work? At Cycling Dumb and Team Bi-atch we use what has worked for drunk fraternity boys for years. The keg stand!! So get out there, ride 100 miles off road, have your buddies spin you up-side-down and chug away. It will taste great and rehydrate you but more importantly you will quickly not feel that pain anymore. Ride hard, be kind and remember its just bike racn'!!!

Top Secret Wilderness 101 training

1. Sleep 9+ hours while still needing to hit the snooze bar 3 times, drink lots of coffee, nap #1, blog, more coffee, nap #2
2. Silly fix gear intervals, like 30seconds on 3 times by 5 blah, blah, blah. You know some conventional anal "training" crap. But we Bi-acth's hate convention so...

3. After said intervals find some hills that you can really get rolling down on your fixie and practice your mad cool power slide skills action. The goal 270-300 degrees with out crashing in multiple directions. Ahh yeh!!! How will this help in the 101? It probably won't but it will hopefully impress the fixie riding hipster girly's!!! And why do we race, dah, meeting mad cool hipster girly's. Right?

So get out their fan!! Ride hard and smile.

Warning

Next Sat., the 19th of July, I am predicting a colossal explosion at approximately 12 PM. I predict the explosion shall be heard around the world. Don't be alarmed.

In the spirit of the Cycle-Dumb trained athlete, I signed up for the singlespeed race (8 AM) and the pro race (11 AM) at mt bike nationals. All year I've been planning on doing the SS race, and I shan't be deterred by such a silly thing as scheduling. harumph!
Rumor has it the SS race = 4 laps, and the pro race = TBD. Maybe 5? I hope I finish the SS race in time to stuff some Pringels and maybe some Nutter Butters down my gullet before the craziness of the pro race. gunnar and Goose both race at 8 AM on Sat., so send some good vibes towards Vermont next weekend. Please.
Then, Team Bi-Atch (we all subscribe to the CD training program) will pile in the car and drive down to Fairmont, WV to race on Sunday. Can't miss one of those WVMBAs, you know.

The Night Before...

The night before a double weekend of racing take a short lil' ride on your favorite off road short track course . Do not bring lights and preferably wear loose fitting street cloths. Look for a low hanging branch that is sturdy and secure. Ride fast and hit it hard enough with your head that you go flying backwards at least 10 feet from your bike. Pick the bark out of your head, look for blood and continue. You should have a nice headache. Ready to race you will be!!!

June was made for racing and sweltering

That's right.

So much racing that you don't have to train much.
So much heat that you're wishing that it would return to Spring or Fall.

All that bitchin' and moaning about the weather, the rain, the need for long rides, how your buddies and doing intervals, your buddies not being at the races, all that stuff.

Just look at the sort of thing we got planned here-
* Last w/e, wasn't June when we raced the Mohican, that's why at night it rained and we got scared. But we did race that long, kind of sloppy and turn filled race.
And were tired all week. Some of us are still trying to get over the odd cold, some are claiming to be getting one (I think it's the demon gender cause though...).
* June 7-8 24 Hours of Big Bear. We all got on teams, all hanging out at the Big Bear Penthouse Suites. Me and PP are on Duo Teams, Goose is on a 4-man Pro.
* June 14-15 Appalachian Classic. We got Short Track and TT on Sat. We also got the Weedhawks jamming that night. The the XC on Sunday. Camping out indeedie-doo.
* June 21-22 Davis Rock & Road. Some long stupid hill filled race on Sat. in Tucker County and then the WV State Championships on Sunday. Both long. Both hard.
* June 28-29 Kind of undecided. Maybe some Road racing action in OH both days on the way down to...
* July 1-3 Masters Road Nats. Road racing in Louisville, KY. Only I don't get to RR cause my RR is on the same day, right before the Tandum RR. So we're opting for the Tandum. Goose is going to be feeding us both.
* July 4-6 Barbour DeTour, then a decision, stay there or go down to St. Albans and do the Grand Prix. Not sure about Sunday.
* And the fun continues I'm sure, Pro Style cause Goose is going to be staying here for the extended Bi-atch Pro Tour.

So what do we do inbetween traveling and racing?
* We commute to Betsy's work.
* We ride at the UHS Short Track w/ Jackie, work on skillz.
* We do the Wednesday Hammer Ride unless it's cold and raining.
* Rinse repeat.

What else would you need to do?

Another lesson for the training log kids...

...get your pens out

After a hard weekend of racing and riding stay up really late watching inspirational Youtube clips. The next morning you should feel pretty shot. That night do it again, this time add some adult beverages to the mix. The next morning you should feel really shot and when you ride later you should feel completely awful. Yep...lets see how a third night will make me feel. Stay tuned!! Good results are plentiful for sure!!!

Pheromone effect to good results! Part 2

In order to work my original hypothesis out I have decided not to shower until after the Mohican100 which occurs in 4 days. If I do well, no showers until the season is over sometime in December. The Team Bi-atch spooning in the back of the team van should be fun this weekend!! I smell like roses already.

Pheromone effect to good results!

As you know last December I broke my hand up pretty good. While in the cast I found it difficult to apply deodorant, now I never religiously wore it before so this isn’t all that crazy. So my experiment in training: I have gone, with the expectation of a few times, without wearing any deodorant for close to 6 months. Has this made me faster so now I am winning races, the pheromone effect or am I smelling so offensive the competition is staying clear and allowing me to win races? Add it to the journal kids!!!

X-Rated Voyeurism Training Fun!!

Take out your training journals kids I have a few things for you to enter.

Find a stretch a road preferably with a slight incline. Do 3-4 30-45 sec intervals all out say 5 sets...good for the body and mind. Add to it a car with a couple getting their freak on... PRICELESS!!! Wave to said couple every time you pass... hilarious... them waving back every time... just brilliant!!!
Just when I thought DC was boring and uptight. Well add that to the journal kiddies it will surely make you fast or at least laugh and blush.

Hard intervals and a little Voyeurism make you fast it will!!

...I kind of feel dirty!!

P.S.from.D.S.-
Chris we need pics too don't forget.
It's your responsibility you know...
