waterrockets 

Doritos' base flavoring just doesn't sit well with me. It's like an instant gag reflex just smelling that stuff for some reason. Always drives me crazy.

Zapps are $.25 here at the office, so it's a pretty easy fix. Yesterday the machine on my floor ran out, so I bought Frito's instead. You know what was awesome? Tore open the bag (flat) and dumped a pile of habanero sauce on it to dip the chips.

I always stop too. I almost always stop in my car as well since I usually have tools and always have a track pump.

The only time I didn't help someone was Slickrock Canyon. I got 1/4 mile out and saw a family stopped with a flat. They had brought out their Huffys and Murrays to ride Slickrock. No water or patch kits or pumps in the group. I told them that I didn't want to fix it for them because I didn't want them going further out and getting stuck (well, I guess they'd just become someone else's burden). 1/4 mile walk isn't the end of the world, and they were not prepared for that loop.

It's just three simple words. "Are you OK?".

One day on a club ride we were hammering along at a good pace and we see this guy on the side of the road in a Rat Shack kit with a brand new bike, new shoes, everything squeaky clean, with a flat. He had nothing, not even his ID and a cellphone. Six of us had him changed out in 5 minutes. What shop sells a guy a new bike and not a flat kit?

shovelhd

Same with my son. Same reaction.

been there, done that. good luck
one that doesn't want returning business, at least, that's the vibe from the shop that sold my bike

when i bought my first bike, i didn't have a flat kit for eight months until i realized i was effed while riding 10 miles away from town. Thank God someone stopped and i repaid the guy for his troubles.

Well played punk...

2,000 emails filed - yay me!

SalsaPodio

I feel like the hoarder of emails. I have 15,000 in my inbox. Luckily there is a search function.

rkwaki

My boss has 5,000 unread emails in his. I believe if I am not mistaken that he has ALL of his emails from 2006 in his inbox - wonders why he can't find anything as he does not use search function OR back anything up.

BTW how is that TOOF of yours doing?

perhaps the issue is I'm used to this

Doritos give me a headache. Not sure why, I can have a few, but not many.

rkwaki

Ok I hav e some big ole legs but this is ridiculous...

Flatballer

Yeah, track sprinters have some ridiculous legs.

rkwaki

K my quads are somewhere around 27" that dude's have got to be 30-32" - that's crazy.

That poor little crankset

Like the monkey I am, I just shout "here, have some poo" while I fling it at them.

I wish the week was over.

rkwaki

Counting the minutes myself.

Dude you cannot even imagine my house. I am over 220 grams of protein a day and my wife eats somewhere around 150.

You cannot even fathom what our house is like some days. There is just something wrong with a sweet ole butt ripping them out though

"Cup of cheese" - beautiful

hammy56

its not much better at our house :/

mollusk

Short timer! (Is that still accurate?)

I'll have 30 years the State retirement pension plan at the end of June. "KMA" status here I come!

mollusk

I have a big dog. It cannot be much worse.

On second though I have a cat that kills things and drags them under the house. I think that some of those things might be possums. That is actually worse.

I did a quick recon of "the other place" and saw rkwaki casting pearls before swine. Or was it swine casting pearls before Freds?

Good to know somethings never change.

Just empty on my ride today. Felt like both brakes were dragging. Turned around after 30 minutes and went home.

A cloudy day in Metropolis.
