Just scooted down to Bike Now in my lunchbreak......it's about 40 degrees outside, BTW.

Last year's T-Mobile Giants have had the guts cut out of them. I reckon if you sounded a bit keen, they'd get another haircut.

I guess that's why 35% of Beach Roadians ride Giants; they're good value

last year's look HEAPS better than the new ones.

Hey Ed, got a little tear in one of my quads (rectus I think). With good management it'll be fine in a couple of days time, but what's the chance of reinjuring the site doing standing starts on Sunday week? Any way to avoid reinjuring it apart from not competing?

Tears aren't much fun. I recommend 2 weeks off completely......but if you can't help yourself, take it easy.

all the leg muscles get excellent blood flow, so it should heal well if left alone.

Why not? Couldn't you carve the cheese into the shape of some nice breasts and get some poor flat-chested lass to act as your cheese mule? Your on your own with the liver though.

Wot, even worserer than Koffee on a bad hair day?!??? No way. You'd need to drink beer, or take bad acid or summint to be the worst ever.


Hows life mate in downtown mormon central? They believe in polygamy right? Sounds like your kinda gig
