Re: TimbukTOO Team Room

Sorry chaps, I'm going to be MIA for a while. I thought I'd give P90X a try to add some muscle. I foolishly thought that I'd do a few k to warm up then a couple of k to cool down. Then I lay on the floor for a while after doing the first chest/back workout and realised it would be an either/or kind ...

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room

What I'd like to know is what the little black goopy bumps are that form on the rail and how to prevent them. I'm a pretty good housekeeper -- what is up with that!? Ah that one I do know. It comes from the roller (no, I don't know why it's black not white). I guess it's some kind of silicone. You ...

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room

Woah. Shame faced confession day.

I guess my model E has done about 4MM now. So today, I finally decided to oil the chain.

Wow! Who knew they were actually serious about that?

It was actually nearly 3 degrees as I finished :)

ETA: I hadn't even noticed the minus sign. Colder than I thought then.

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room

I ahve about 90 pounds to lose and have lost a good 70 already doing other stuff...including a trek to Mount Everest base Camp in 2012. I look forward to the fun. Hope to be a team asset as well! Wow Base Camp - would love to go there. Went to Machu Picchu via the "high" route last year and the alt...

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room

You have a rowing shed? Do tell!! Do you have to share with any creatures or critters? Well, kind of.... I'm a photographer. So I built a "gallery" in my garden. It's about 30 feet by 10, made of wood and, um, unheated. When people come over to look at pictures and stuff I have a nice big LCD scree...

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room

...Plus, not getting beaten by a 9 year old could be just the motivation I need in the cold months ;) And I was hoping that maybe now i might have someone with a bit of courage willing to attempt breaking the Timbuktoo Polar Bear Club rowing record of 16 degrees F :shock: . If so, I say "bring it o...

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room

Hi team, Today, my daughter, age 9, asked me if she could start rowing. I figured to get her excited about it, I'd get her an account in the logbook. So, we signed her up and registered her with TimbukTOO. I don't know how long this enthusiasm will last. It's likely to be fleeting, but I try to enc...

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room

Welcome to Jonathan Ryan, who we thought was a neophyte to rowing, but we have 1.3 million reasons to doubt that now! Welcome to the TimbukTOO boat! Oh no!!! You never said you were going to post meters. Now I'll have to complete the holiday challenge. That pin is going to be s-o-o-o-o-o good.

Nah, there are another 5 seasons of 24 to go - plus that mini one they did during the writers' strike. I should be good for 250 :)

Re: TimbukTOO Team Room

Hi Team, Hope you don't mind me tagging along for the virtual team challenge. My logbook says I've been slacking the last few weeks (it's COLD here) and I'm hoping this is going to give me a little extra motivation. My logbook also says that I'm very very slow. But kind of stubborn ;) If I can find ...
