I hope all of you have a safe and happy holiday with your families and/or friends. Safe riding and happy trails if you are heading out on your bikes. I'll get no exercise today and had biscuits with gravy (real gravy) this morning and spending time with the loved ones. Can't complain...:)

Real gravy is the stuff that is not found in a can or thawed, nuked and stirred. :p

I got in a measly 25 miles. I left it short because I didn't have my pump and my headset felt loose. Now I'm gonna eat some flesh, drink a lot of beer and maybe go to a party later.

Frank, you definitely deserve the Grumpy Pig name on this day ... sorry you have to work today. I know how it feels ... whenever I have to work on-call on the weekends.

Hope you are having a happy fourth, ME. Just got back from a NorCal BF ride that I led ... I surprisingly got 7 people on my ride ... very cool.

Nice to meet you this morning, Steve! And 25 miles is nothing to sneer at in this heat. Hope you had a nice ride. :D

You'll have to teach me that trick about pumping air into your headset to tighten it. That's cool!!!

If I had been there, at least one of them would not have had a quiet 4th with my insistence. I personally like a bang or two on this particular holiday...with a few fireworks and all.

Far too easy to make something of.............

Keep in mind, fireworks are illegal here. How about FCL?

So? You sayin' I'm easy? ;) Yes, lots of fireworks (about to go watch) but no big bang at the end for me. The firemen here don't like those out of control sparks. :D

I think being easy is fine as long as you aren't cheap. :p

By the way, you boys should be out viewing fireworks yourself! Or providing them...;)

Big fireworks display in Warner Center tonight.
I'll ride down (to avoid parking hassles) when dusk comes.
About 96 F here and fairly humid. Reminds me of New Orleans.

Um...I shouldn't be trusted with a firestick. It will inevitably explode too soon and shoot sparks all over the place. :p

Don't be. I get to ride back up the hill when it's over. Nobody rides for free I'm afraid.

Rode down and watched fireworks in Warner Center last night. Massive crowd!

I'm pretty sure Lance A. was lurking about since everywhere I rode I kept hearing
people calling out "Hey Lance!"

Pity I didn't see him. Must've been riding a new stealth Madone.

Did you make a roux, or cheat and use corn starch?

The Hard Rock Cafe in Copenhagen was giving a free beer to anyone with an American passport. I had to catch a train, unfortunately.
