Anyone want to lend me a bike for race weekend?

Coach RichCoach Rich
in Ironman Lake Placid

My next four weekends are:

  • IM Racine
  • IM Lake Placid, dropping into Atlanta to visit family, then...
  • IM WI camp
  • IM Tahoe camp.

My head is spinning with the logistics of getting to all of those places, much less with traveling with a bike affordably. 

So...does anyone have a spare 54cm road bike they wouldn't mind loaning to me for race weekend? I'm driving up with Patrick on Thurs and leaving on Monday. I would like to have the bike Fri-Sun, so we can get around on the course on Sunday. 

Lil help?

    Sorry, all I could offer would be a 58cm Cannondale Synapse.

    Rich, I can bring my 54cm Trek 1200 up for you. It's a triple, circa 2005, 10 speed, and not used to your watts ;-)

    I have a Look 566 with KEO 2 pedals you can borrow for the weekend. Degree of difficulty: I have no way of getting the the ride up to Lake Placid that weekend. Do you know of anyone going from the Philly/NJ area up to Lake Placid that weekend?

    If you need it, lemme know.

    Word.

    Rich, If you are interested in Dan's offer, it looks like I will have room to bring another bike.

    Dan, I will be heading up to Lake Placid from Yardley on Wed the 24th.

    Rich - Did you find a bike?

    @Woody, I saw your offer posted in the Dash haven't remembered to follow up. Do you have a bike I can borrow? 54cm and I can source my own pedals. 

    @Dan and Brad: that would be good but I'd rather not ask someone to make 2 special trips to pick up a bike? Let's see what Woody says. 

    Oh, also looking for a bungee cord to attach to P's bike or a long list of open ended questions. He'll probably be a dork and bring his tri bike. I can hand road bike vs road bike, not road bike vs tri bike.

    What, no love for the old beat up triple?  I know it's not sexy, but not even worthy of a response?

    Sorry I missed that one. For several years I would fly into Albany and pick up a steel 52c from a former 1:1 coached athlete on my way to LP

    @Rich, @Brad,

    Just let me know. I'm about to head up to Michigan and be away from my computer for a few days. Back late on the 22nd. If you need the Look, just let me know before @Brad heads up to Lake Placid later that week He's in Yardley (right?) and about 15 mins from my place in Newtown. Dropping it off/picking it up shouldn't too difficult.



    Word.



    pssst: if you get truly pinched, for a bike for the Wisconsin Camp (per this thread), I can probably find room to stuff the Look in the car for the drive out there.

    I'll throw it up top when I drive up.  If you need it, just let me know.

    Rich - I have access to a 54 cm Jamis Ventura (http://www.jamisbikes.com/usa/thebikes/road/ventura/11_venturarace.html)

    The bike has Shimano clipless pedals - and a handful of "upgrades" over a stock bike -

    Let me know if you want me to bring it to LP -

    Cheers -

    All,

    Since Patrick decided to fling himself off his bicycle and is injured, let's call this off. I'll just run instead, leaving PnI the rest of the day to crush a ton of work.
