A stage race. One stage uphill and the second one down. For a tiebreaker they can play quarters until they're both slobbering drunk and kissing each other.

That's ok. I wasn't riled at all up until he sent me a nasty PM. Now he can have the honor of being the only one on my ignore list. Not that I expect him to care.

Aw C'mon man, I have a fever too. I'll even give you 5 bucks if you take me off!:D

ME convinced me too cease ignoring you. I'll chalk the whole thing up to a silly misunderstanding, but you were awfully quick to get nasty in that PM.

A race, my 240 to his 115 lbs? I'd be more for a let's see how many times you can press the other guy over your head contest!:D Although I did read his times in a post in the road forum. I believe it was "how fast can you climb this hill?" thread. His times on a 7,000 ft climb wasn't much different in comparison to my best while climbing 10,000ft as far as a ratio when I was in shape t 220 lbs. And I don't race or train the way he does!:rolleyes:

But I have done a 22.6 average on a 10 mile flat course from a dead stop (standard roadie) SO it will hae to be a rel long ride, 100 miles or so, solo, no drafting. Or a solo 10 mile flat TT into the wind.:p

For the record, I am pretty close to 150 right now. I've done 22.5 on a mostly flat TT on a standard road bike, so don't assume you would get me there ;)

I had you pegged for an @$$hole a long time ago! My post not not supposed to make sense. Funny others picked up on it but you dwell on it. Ever hear the joke. "how do you keep a moron in suspense?"? Does it make sens now, dumbsh!t?

Funny, when I posted a pic of the bikejournal screen, you were the first to poke fun. Now you're crying like a little B!tch cause I hurt your wiiiittle feelings? What an @$$!

That makes no sens...

Oh I see! He thought I was making fun of his crash not his writing. Hmm, nope! I'd be the first one to descend GMR just to be the first one back to pick you up if you crashed. The first to lend you a pump or give you my spare tube. Maybe the first to explain how to copy and post a page rather than laugh at you! Well if he ever crashes while I'm around, on my bike or in a support vehicle, he's going to be there a while!:D

I remeber that now. It reminded me of this...

This is exactly why I love BikeForums so much - It like a 10 minutes laugh break - and better than Sierri's blue collar comedy channel (http://www.sirius.com/bluecollarcomedy)
