1970s Male Stubbie Shorts For Sale



All those who practice our sport know, we have a tendency (almost a disease) to conceal and exaggerate our weaknesses. For example, when we reach our pals drive is very rare that someone openly declares that he has trained well during the week, he lost those extra pounds he had and, if If he is in a very good shape (even if he can not keep pace with those of head).

Quite the opposite, the general trend is rather to maximize all our problems (real or imagined) and phrases like these can be heard every Sunday morning: I have not trained this week (no more than four hours per day), I sleep very badly (before going to bed), I do not lose weight (because I have not an ounce of fat to lose), etc. ... and after the / s guy / s in question, rolls over the top all the way out ;-)

And in our group, we have a pro. He called Americo:

(file photo)

him after four months of not touching the bike (he says) and his age, remained at the wheel during the entire trip and, Increasingly, he allowed himself the luxury of making all mounted on front (good ... as usual ;-)

I think if he was training a little bit, Contador and the Schleck brothers would struggle to hold his wheel (despite his age ;-). Otherwise, given the results, Mark, Patrick and I are now thinking seriously about making a break of at least four months (see more) the next winter.

But hey, if we return to our output: gray and cold morning (between 4 and 7 ° C) wet because of rain the day before with, in addition, a lot of moisture. Nine riders

the RDV (more Americo, with his natural class, we caught up on the way ;-). Road to the south (to return with the wind at your back) to Maisse, Milly la ForĂȘt, Boutigny, Mondeville Mennecy.

From left to right: Patrick (already recovered from his flu), Philip and Gerard.

A new element with which I could not talk today.
Marc, Jean Charles, Bernard and Atilio slipping away.

From my side, I spent a good part of the morning at the head (with Mark). Now I can afford this rate ... even if, as usual, I let go in the ribs not to ride in beats.

In conclusion: A little over three and a half hours to travel bike 93.5 km with 490 m vertical drop at an average speed of 26.5 km / h. An average heart rate of 139 beats performing two climbs (including the Mondeville) just under my threshold and an acceleration towards the end in order to clear the engine ;-)

And like everyone else during the week I n 't have resulted either. Just three home trainer sessions (Monday to unclog them, in force on Tuesday and Thursday to develop the mechanism of lipid), two workouts at the gym (Wednesday and Friday) and dual output started (one on Saturday from 66 km and Sunday ;-).

I continue to lose weight but not the speed I want. Normal, as for now, I deprive myself of anything ... even if this week I'll have to monitor a little because I go to Turkey for three days and my parents come home with all the good stuff of Spain.

CYCLING BACK TO THE VALLEY CHEVREUSE

Time flies and we are already in February.

month of January has been very productive (more than I expected) with 31 and a half hours and 758 km (including much on the home trainer) to an average of 132 beats.

But the real news of this season were the workouts at the gym Morsang sur Orge (nine in total if I count those made at the hotel in Spain). As I had already explained, I am beginning to learn human anatomy through the pain produced by muscle soreness ;-)

The downside: weight. This week I recovered a portion of the bottle I had lost. I have the strange habit of counting my extra pounds as if it were water bottles a liter and a half (it's more graphic ;-). And I have three more to lose

:-( The problem is that muscle is heavier than fat, and despite a decrease in the percentage of that I gained a little weight. Grease I still for the winter and part of the spring so I can not even see my new abs ...

;-) Well, if we return to our outing today. A lot of people to appointments, about a dozen riders.

For now, the usual ...
The return of Joel and John Charles (right and left in photo).
From??, I do not remember her name (center) between John Charles and Jean Claude, who never tires of watching his new BMC framework (I'll take pictures next time because I do I realized the change only once on the road).
And the usual Patrice (left) this time without his friends and Patrick (right) who spent last week in bed with the flu. Consequence: It is the first time he stays with me on the coasts ... ;-)
From the first time Marc and I took matters into hand, as this time the wind blew from the south-west we went into the valley Chevreuse.

This time, the council of elders accompanied us to the roundabout between Chevreuse, the Mesnil and 17 rotating through which they descended to go home. We stayed at Four: Joel Patrick, Mark and me. Mesnil

the Directorate for turning down the 7 Dampierre then fit the 17 rotating to go through Port Royal, Gif and Palaiseau. Good on the mounted Gif, Joel (a bit short form) and Patrice have dropped, but as we had their permission, Marc and I went back alone.

Conclusion: 3:46 minutes by bike to travel 96.5 km with 635 m drop to an average of 25.7 km / h. In my case, an average of 138 beats. I can now stand on the flat, even in the lead, but I always loose on the coasts and, like today, I had my Orbea Orca (with the development of summer) I took the opportunity to develop strength in each rise (and there were a few ;-).

Thought theological and esoteric thought: the challenges of a structural analysis

Francesco Baroni (EPHE) is a specialist in the history of Western esoteric currents and in particular the work of esoteric Italian Tommaso Palamidessi ( 1915-1983), near Masonic circles and Martinists Italian founder of a Christian initiation of " Archeosophical . The conference will seek to question the assumption that the characteristics of the "form of thought "called esoteric (A. Faivre) depend on the structural relationships between esoteric and theological (Christian). The issue opens on a more fundamental question: Is a merger possible between the esoteric and the Christian theology and what can be any results? Palamidessi example will be called strongly on this point.
