very nice! just in time for what?

oh please! it's what christmas is all about.

i just got off the phone to my favourite cousin and she's in DC. I told her there are people on the site who rides there and she says they are nuts. it's all icy and lethal.

mom's bday is monday. tomorrow is the drive to chicago usa.

thank you. the shellac came out good. I am thinking of making a how-to video on it.

happy birthday!

you know what i hate most about christmas? the lame movies on tv.

Maybe I should get studded tires for my country bike. Or I could just go out on that "lethal ice" with the slicks. That would be more nuts.

MZ keeps coming to NJ but never visits... jerk

Shrek and the grinch so far this afternoon.

outrageous. merry christmas heckler.

i've been plotting my planned ride to stonehenge on summer solstice. turns out it really is about 200miles there and back. 104 miles one way. Would you do it in 2 days or build up to doing it as a double in one day?


here's the route.

It's worse if you do not celebrate Christmas and you have nothing to do all day. Well time play some Call of Duty now!

I'm listening to the Nutcracker.

75 degrees, but there's a gale warning. I think I'll go peacock hunting shortly.

i wish i had a games console but also i will never have one. call of duty would have me playing for days non stop.

Dad gave me some cash. Bike schwag may be incoming.

why don't you donate it to charity like some of the suggestions in the lame gifts thread. i'm all for being nice and all that but that is too far.

Personally, I'd do it in 2 days. Probably have Mrs. RJ meet me at Stonehenge, make a mini holiday out of it.

I would do it in two days. ... but I'm a wuss.

My trip up the thumb of WI would be 400 miles, and I think I'd take 5 days to do it.

I feel like being selfish.

that's a good idea. i asked a couple of people to join me and they both said i was nuts. i can never get anyone interested in an adventure. i only asked them because they asked me to go ride with them as they are new converts to cycling thanks to my evangeical zeal. then i suggest a fun expedition and they go all cold. i'm going to look at the various organised london-paris rides too.

I thinly that would be immensely useful.
It's too bad more people don't use it.

coasting, I'd also say 2 days.

What's the longest ride they've taken so far? 100 (or 200) miles is a daunting proposition as a new rider.

don't defend them. they suck.
