cyclocross is stupidity in a refined form. delusion is the 40 year old that buys his son a $10,000 bike forcing him to get into bike racing, but the kid is 5'8 and 200lb and unless this is downhill racing the kid is SOL'd......Sorry I raged hard at a local race when I see this. The kid definitely didnt know the value of a dollar.

Throw the stick!!!!
I spent another two hours on the phone with Verizon yesterday. My wife's phone will dial out, it will send and receive text messages, however it will not receive calls. At first it would receive calls when the screen was on but not when the phone was in "sleep" mode. After they worked on it the phone will not receive calls at all.
Two hours later and the phone will still not "activate". This is getting pretty damn old.
So total time with Verizon so far.
40 minutes being ignored in Company store.
5 1/2 hours in Best Buy trying to get phones activated.
1 1/2 hours on phone with Verizon getting my phone activated.
1 1/2 hours in Best Buy getting data transfered to my new phone.
2 hours on phone with Verizon attempting to get my wife's phone "activated".
Two hours later and the phone will still not "activate". This is getting pretty damn old.

I have found that VZ support is very good, just be sure to call during normal business hours otherwise you will get someone in a faraway place.

I do have to say though, I am absolutely amazed at my internet speed on 4g. This morning I did a speed test and I downloaded at 14,490 kbps and uploaded at 6,495 kbps. My home internet (Suddenlink cable) only downloads at 4,000 kbps.

Maybe those idiots at VZN will even sell me an iPhone when my upgrade rolls around in February.

Am I the only one who thinks this would make a decent road bike? switch the ugly tribars for drop bars and you're ready go.
Also, the new SHIVs look fat and ugly.

From their website:
FUELSELAGE™ INTEGRATED HYDRATION SYSTEM: TRADITIONAL TUBE-MOUNTED WATER BOTTLE SETUPS ARE A MAJOR DRAG ON AERODYNAMICS. TO AVOID THIS, AND TO PROVIDE THE SAFEST, MOST ERGONOMIC HYDRATION SYSTEM POSSIBLE, WE DESIGNED THE FUELSELAGE™ INTEGRATED HYDRATION SYSTEM TO FIT NEATLY INSIDE SHIV’S MASSIVE DOWN TUBE. TESTING PROVES THE SYSTEM HAS ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT ON THE FRAME’S OUTSTANDING AERODYNAMICS.
A REMOVABLE HYDRATION RESERVOIR (APPROXIMATE CAPACITY OF ONE WATER BOTTLE—EXACT SIZE IS FRAME-SPECIFIC) FITS EASILY THROUGH A PORT ON THE TOP TUBE, AND STOWS INSIDE THE DOWN TUBE. RIDERS CAN REFILL THE RESERVOIR DIRECTLY THROUGH THE PORT WITHOUT NEED FOR REMOVAL, EVEN ON THE FLY; AND THE BITE VALVE CAN BE MOUNTED ANYWHERE ON THE BARS, WITH A MOVABLE MAGNETIC MOUNT. PLUS, THE WHOLE SYSTEM CAN BE REMOVED FOR EASY CLEANING.

Wow, bizarre timing. I can't believe I "heard it here first." Should make for an interesting trip to Palo Alto/Stanford this weekend....
