I guess titanium membership has some limits. I can't access the nomination thread you linked to.

I doubt that, I've alway enjoyed your posts and found them both informative and entertaining. So you'll have my vote if anyone asks. Even when your humor is at my expense. The crowd I ride with requires you to be able to take it as well as dish it out

You have to promise to be nice or they won't let you access foo or P&R. I can't get them either.

Oh, I'll be sweet as pie, I promise. BTW, congratulations on making the list. I think you deserve it.

Is there a drab brown jersey award? I might try to start to work for that but I'm more likely stuck with my invisible jersey.

OK, now that is an honor! I really don't have a speech prepared but I would like to say thanks to all those that view and enjoy my videos , pictures and even more, listen to my meaningless off the wall comments and interviews. As far as climbing, I plan to increase my climbing speed this year, thanks to the X2 speed control on moviemaker.
