Too tired for a real ride today from cyclocross last night. Played Ultimate Frisbee on bikes instead.

We played bike rugby.

We're all weenies though so no one was tackled.

"Act your age, not your shoe size."

Derailleur pulleys: Removed, cleaned, replaced.

Detailed my bike today after a long ride. Busted out the detail brushes and everything, cleaned it all up. It deserved it. She was good to me today.

I love to go a-wandering
Along the mountain path
And as I go I laugh and sing
My knapsack on my back!

N2bikeN is coming down from Iowa witha couple of buds on Oct 23 - 25. This is not an official TGMBG ride so if anyone want to drop in for some good riding holla at ya boy.

I'm jealous, If there is a mountain biking god, please let me get to pisgah some day.

Boh.

Was going to go riding with a friend yesterday...

His house is about a 5 minute ride from mine along the bike track, so I told him I would meet him on the track.

Anyway, I'm waiting, and I see him running towards me pushing his bike.

Turns out he underestimated a corner, went too fast, braked too hard and crashed into a fence...Buckled his rear wheel and needed his mum to come pick him up

OT and mainly for Scrublover: I'll be eating here Saturday evening and will be eating from the tasting menu. Can't wait! https://www.pintxo.ca/

The Girlscout is bummed. He finished one second off the podium at the State Championships.There was a lot of questions about the timing. It involved a pocketwatch and a cellphone.

MMMMMM............Blood pudding w/ apple chutney.

I ended up ordering the strawberry gazpacho, the foie gras terrine on caramelized onions, the salmon tartar and the serrano ham/cheese stuffed fig as appetizers. They're served like tappas.

For my main course I ordered the fish of the day, which was a pan-seared arctic char on mashed potatoes with a cherry tomato/cucumber salsa drizzled on it. It was absolutely delicious and I am definitely going back.

I don't understand a word you just said.

Yah know...I think you should suggest they buy those little 10 mile radios that are so cheap now days. Much less time lag there. How do they do the "big" races?

I didn't come last at the states. Sorry you guys didn't get a big ride report like you did the last race, i've been busy. I guess its kinda too late now considering it was the 5th

PUSH do Fox and selected RS, but I'm looking for somewhere similiar that would do Manitou, along with replace the rebound adjuster assembly - i snapped it. The Australian importer was changed a couple of weeks ago and haven't received parts yet (They don't know when they will either) and the old importer is all out, so it could be a while before i get my shock fixed and i thought it might be easier to send it OS even. Ugh, so confused. Maybe i should use this as an oppurtunity to buy a new shock? Then again, why bother when I want a new frame and fork. Rahhhh so many decisions.

Also:

Send an email to Kevin at S.E. He'll be able to help you out.

Well my good fellows,I have a camp set up in Pisgah so that where I'll be 'till Sunday. N2bikeN will be in sometime in the wee hours of the morning. We'll hit it hard for 3 days then I'm working a "Take a kid Mountainbiking day" at DuPont on Sunday. I'll expect Profail to keep BoSox in line while im away.

Have a great time! I'm gonna sit here and listen to the rain hit the window.

I did

Thanks.

:what:

Brake pads? What pads?

If your asking what pads those are, they look to be Shimano.

haha, yeah they're Shimano, but no, I wasn't asking what they were

Yeah, looking back I can see how that could be misread

My local State Champs!

The jump at the start is, as per usual, hugererererer in real life. It was my nemesis for the race and I'm proud to say i overcleared and flatlanded it.
