Not strictly MTB related, but cool nonetheless. And finally some sensibly-packaged tubes! I've always wondered why all tubes don't come like that.

Sometime after they open? I know you're anxious to become an offical TGMBGer.

ASAP, certainly. It appears that opening is conditional on the municipal planning dept's blessing though, so my breath is not being held.

Hmmm, yoga isn't offered either. Starting to sound like a dud.

I was just pointing out that you could do without Yoga since you could spend the free time at a Starbucks. You could even spend it at Tim Horton's, I'm sure there are plenty of them too.

I'll bring my own espresso maker and if gastro gives impromptu yoga lessons in the parking lot before the ride, I may reconsider.

Finally received the wonderful gift of safety for my birthday & got to try it on. Fits amazingly, lightest helmet in the house, & looks good to boot! (on a normally shaped head, at least)

Here 'tis. Still quite drunk so you'll have to excuse the face. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Looks like it was bit too late for the helmet, brain damage already occurred.

Blame my brother for that. He's the one who insisted on celebrating my 21st with alcohol

I'm back to a 1x9 on the Komodo. My new trail network isn't quite as climby as my old local trails...and I was ready for a change. I'll try to get better pic's in the daytime. I went with a BBG bash and a BBG inner.
