If I were you, I would give your current shop a head-up. Tell your boss you have another job offer and give him the chance to make you a counter-offer. Ask for more money than the new shop is willing to pay you in order to offset the difference between the benefits "better" shop and where you work now. If your current boss says yes, you get a hefty raise. If he balks at that number, you go to the new shop. The benefit to doing it this way is that your boss (thinks he) has the chance to keep you around and that your departure is in his hands. Your resignation will be a mutual decision and you won't burn any bridges at your original shop.

If you had anymore anodized purple in one area you could collapse into a black hole.

There was a Zinn mountain bike in the shop today. Nothing special, right? Wrong.

First off it was a Zinn, secondly, the seat was literally up to my shoulder, and I'm 5'9". This guy was 6'11"

did you get a picture of it?

Video of my winder substitute for biking (though given my limited skiing skills, it is a very weak substitute).

My new wheelset.

Alex DM24 rims laced to Deore hubs.

These wheels will be getting the 2.35 Hansventures, a 180mm front rotor, and going on the HT. The current wheels on the HT will get the rotors shown in the pictures, my Nevelgals, and go on the NRS.

Change of plans: Realised that the current rims on the HT are actually fatter than the new ones, so it gets to keep its wheels. NRS is getting the new set, as well as a new SLX derailleur tomorrow afternoon.

Ahh, that warm "new part" feeling.

To be fitted tomorrow.

I really hate all of you guys that live up north already! I put in a ride yesterday morning and it was 90 degrees by about 10am with high humidity. I'm about to head out again today and I am not looking forward to this heat. Time to man up and get ready to ride in gear over this hot ass Texas summer.

Deal with it, we're getting hot temps up here as well.

Ride today was horrid! Went to a new trail and it was all sand and large loose rocks and you had to climb most of the 7 miles of trail, not to mention there were very few trees and it was 100 and sunny. Needless to say I prefer going down much more than going up!

Dannihilator, I am dealing with it since I am still riding but I want to ***** and moan about it. I need to get up north where its not hot for so long.

I know where you're coming from, I wish that it would be 20 degrees cooler atm.

I hear you. Nac.'s no better right now. I'm thinking of moving my group rides to 6:30am.

Feel free to come up and ride in the snow ******bags!

Pacific Northwest weather is perfect for riding in my opinion...not too warm...not too hot

I went riding this past weekend, slight drizzle...but still warm enough to go in t-shirt and shorts

Would be a welcomed change of pace.

But the main problem is this time of year, the snow is so wet that you can't ride through it. Plus the ground is thawed so combined with the heavy, wet snow, the trails really got torn up if you can actually ride them.

So basically, I would rather deal with the heat than not be able to ride all.

There is no snow . . . or heat . . . in Whistler or Spokane :).

So are you saying I should come back?

Well, let's just say that Silver Mountain's gondola starts running June 19. Schweitzer opens on the 25th. Plus, shuttling on Mt. Spokane should be do-able any day now. There's lots of stuff you haven't ridden yet.

Oh how I cant wait for the days of riding the pacific northwest. I should have been there already but damn life hindering those plans....Oh well I guess I can train in this 100+ heat with high humidity for a bit longer.
