Evidently you didn't read how badly I did at Grand Tour. At least I won't be suffering too much from intense heat. I've become such a wimp since moving up to the Bay Area. I wilt from 90 degree heat. I used to be able to ride in 100 degree heat. But at least I was able to see some BF'ers when I got back to the start.

I personally like your bike better when it's sitting beside mine.



But that's just me.

Sweet! But now I'm jealous! You and Siu have nice Ti and CF bikes as your first bikes! I'm still on my first bike and I could only afford alu! I need a new job!

So when are we all riding? ...after the 30th since you guys are probably going early before I get done with the Giro ride.

Only special people get to start out on carbon or Ti.

Sorry. It's just a secret unwritten rule.

Hey gee. I was thinking you and I could get together maybe before saturday and ride? Just do something casual. Or next week, whatcha' thunk?

rock the SPD, that way you can put em on your mtb too. in fact i dont know how people climb switchbacks without being clipped in, my feet go flying all over the place unless they're planted in the cleats.
