Where's merlin?

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Ya HAD to ask the question "Where's Merlin". Thanks - f'in thanks - you made me remember the most annoying commercial of my childhood...and quite possibly of all time. Now I'm going to have to go gouge my earballs out to make sure I never hear it again.

I think he's stuck in a jail in the Bahamas due to having a hissy fit after losing another cleat at a race there. Or something like that.

Or maybe he's just had enough of BF. I know I have.

merlinextraligh told me that he needed to go find a t and would be back as a more complete person. He just couldn't stand the pressure.

To hear it from a few of the contributors on the "Men's Only Forum", some of the members do not like that the Road Forum includes threads that have little or nothing to do with road cycling and are leaving because they feel that those threads belong in Foo.

Maybe their response to umd being banned??? Or just bf burnout.

Pcad won't quit. Maybe taper, but not quit. He needs bf to quench his thirst.

There was a thread similar to this posted in the road forum by him, but it was deleted.
