Bambi is sad and everything but The Iron Giant is the saddest animated movie ever and if Disney buys the rights to it and makes a sequel I will.....uh, well, I won't do anything really but it would seriously suck. And IRC is still around? I used to Quake but I thought it had died in lieu of MSN, etc.

Weird, my last post didn't happen.

Recap: IRC is free, Bambi's parents die, Bambi lives. Anyone want to ride at 730ish?

Did not. I just didn't want to go all the way to Warden. A few of us are meeting at Honest Ed's at 7:30.

Edit: me and a friend are going to meet at 7:30. If any of you people show up, that's cool too.

BoroSS: yeah, I got a tiny 44ish cm Gardin with a curved toptube from Jet Sanchez. Just search the thread for "Gardin" and I'm sure you'll find the picture. Just waiting for a back wheel from Cavern and she'll be almost good to go. Sweet!

Well put my track drops on & took them off just as fast. I can not get used to them. I love my bullhorns, not sure if they will be aloud on the track (if i bring my bike?)
Need to get some regular road bars!

Blah ... so crywolf.ca expires in a few weeks and I'm not renewing it. Mulling over a new domain name has got to be one of the most mind-bogglingly frustrating tasks ever.

"Okay, every possible combination using my name is taken unless I register a domain under some obscure country domain ... time to start pondering something that sounds interesting but won't annoy me in 12 months."

Um.. no.. that prize would go to me. I got a flat on a ride on a Tuesday. My bike sat forlornly in my apartment until Thursday when my boyfriend could come over to fix it (mind you, it was my first flat ever). Even now it'd probably take me like an hour to figure out what I'm doing.

I am officially claiming "first post after velodrome" status.
Fantastic time today guys. Can't wait to do it again. No skin donation's and what I thought was an impressive first showing by the bike forums crew. Cheers for a good day. K.
So who's gonnna be the madison team? I nominate Shiz and Mitch. I will of course hold the stopwatch and look "official".
