This is oh so disappointing. My efforts to split and fracture the 50+ forum seem to have gone awry.

As to the Road forum, I've only entered it two times. Not because of who is there, but because of the topic. Why would someone who doesn't ride on roads bother to read the Road forum? Same for the Mountain Bike forum. And I was in Foo twice. I usually only peek in on two other forums besides 50+. It takes so much effort annoying the hell out of people here, that I have little time for other forums.

So Tom, If you're really from Wisconsin how come you're always wearing a Ram's hat?

I really like his Ram's hat but this one might be more appropriate for someone from Wisconsin

You used the number "50" three times in one sentance. If this isn't a cry for acceptance from the 50+ Forum, I can't imagine what is!

The best thing about being a cyclist from Wisconsin is the folks you meet out on the road...

Not without making him take a lie detector test. The real trick is figuring out which we'd prefer. I, for one, generally prefer an artfully, colorful lie.

Well, anyone who thinks they're somehow superior to Lance Armstrong because they were born 16 years earlier has my vote! Road Warrior is in!

If there is one state that can truly argue that it has no professional football team, Georgia surely would be it...

...unless you count UGA.
