Bwahaha.

I was a member of another forum before (non-bicycle) and I started a thread called thought of the moment. It was a blast. Gs beat me to the punch here.

I just ordered next year's skin suit. It's Squadra. I was in between small and medium. The small was banjo-string tight through the torso (i.e. perfect as long as I don't gain _any_ weight), but the torso length was too short. It was none too comfortable on the 'nads. The medium was less tight through the torso (although not loose), but much more comfortable on torso length. The weird thing was that they had about the same amount of wrinkles on the bike. It makes you wonder how they get the PI suit so wrinkle free on Zabriskie. The wind tunnel guy that I've spoken too said that getting rid of wrinkles was pretty much the aero holy grail on clothing.

Here's to hoping it makes a difference.

My understanding is that Phil Wood Tenacious oil is Texaco 2 cycle oil. I don't know if this is correct.

There's gotta be a warm and wet joke in here somewhere.

I have basically taken a week off from riding - 1 ride for 3 hrs. on saturday, it's been mixed with a fair bit of running and hiking with the dog. I am ready to get back at it.

I am shooting for 10 hrs this week.

I sold my Mtb yesterday. And my powertap wheel. And my TT bike will hopefully be sold this week. The plan is to upgrade to a nicer mountain bike, but we will see where this all lands me.

In all honesty, I've had a lot more fun doing these mountain bike races than most of the road races. Part of it is because I have no team. Another part is because (for me) I just can't keep up in the road races. And I guess the last part is because I'm learning a lot mountain biking.

Also, I have 8 vacation days left to use.

I'm planning to take 3 days to get a 9 day vacation over thanksgiving week. Then I'll still have another 5 to kill - for another 9 day vacation. Over thanksgiving, I will be out in the hill country with my family to get some riding in. The other will just be a basecamp from home with as much riding as I can stand.

Hahahaha the rotational engineer got to pore through the repository after the 11g upgrade.

Fortunately we use it for ad-hoc reporting only. Users are on their own when it comes to the validity of their reports.
