I think you must pre-date me on BF. Who are these local goons?

Not that I intend to be contending many sprints, let alone 3-4 ones.

What do you want to use it for? You got cockroaches?!?

ps I think you can get it at most pharmacies or grocery stores, should not be too hard to find.

Nobody in particular. I just started weighing risks vs benefits of crit racing (90+ percent of USAC races around here are crits) and it just wasn't worth it to me anymore. Not that there was one specific person or team, it's just that there seemed to be at least one decent-sized crash in just about every race. It just quit being enough fun to justify the risk of messing up my hands/face and being out of work. I figured my patients wouldn't appreciate the injuries as much as my teammates.

VG is a troublemaker.

I am just a happy anarchist who used to be an admin on another site.

So it looks like the Giant is getting Ultegra shifters and the Lotus 105.

Well, pretty much the only thing my dogs can do reliably is sit and stay. So my wife was doing the sit/stay thing with them with a treat in each hand, which was enough of a flail that my daugther was entertained by it. Like I said, that pose lasted about a half second.

In other news I had an R600DuraAce sighting on another forum. Only the name has changed.

He was before my time, but seemed like quite the character.

He claims to be out of form but was boasting a pace of 20-plus mph on his recovery rides.

unless there has been a name change, I don't think the USAC has seen R600DA in the past 3 years either.

Last week someone brought in a few trays of olive garden for everyone at my shop.

It's not italian - but it's tasty.
