Seminar? ah pointless I've been to soo many of these things and rarely learn anything of any REAL use in the production/graphics world... on occasion I've taught them something about the app they're teaching.

What portion of CS3 are they teaching? Print/Web/Video? I've got all the CS3 with the exception of the Video which I think has been delayed in it's release...problems porting the code over apparently.

From what I have heard, the R3 is a bit more comfortable because the Soloist is so f'in stiff. I should shoot for this if only because it looks so ridiculous (although I don't know how I feel about the geometry...):

Q: Do I ride the beater with really really really (really!) worn out 23c slicks? Or the cross bike with knobbies?

Hmm doh, wasn't expecting snow just yet and I've still got road tyres on my MTB... Maybe I'll see how the roadie fares

I'd go with the beater - but the cross bike would be fun I bet

Can't wait to get out there today, a rare day I'll bother to wear my rain pants as well as the jacket, I love this stuff

Ooh way to keep it going! I'm guessing you are referring to "pulling" the brake levers?

Assuming they're still going to be on (weather permitting, I'd guess) - there's the weekly Devil Strip Roller sprints tonight, I've not been for a few weeks due to familial commitments, but I'll be there tonight if they're on. Check back here around 5pm for the usual confirmation. I'm new to the crowd too, I get out and about when I can though.

What kind of riding do you do, I'm not very varied (commuter/small tour/street riding), but a bunch here do different riding styles.
