That's a good one, too. But let's face it--neither is in the same class as el trumpet.

My legs are definitely feeling the past two days workouts. Thank God today's ride is an easy hour on the trainer or rollers.

Levers, CO2, tube, patch kit, multi tool, keys, phone, and food is a ton of stuff to cram into the center pocket of your jersey. I'd rather stick the things I might need while riding in my pockets and leave the rest for the bag.

I was pulling your chain. Sorry if you didn't take it that way, no harm intended. I'm old school, where the only thing you had under your seat was a spare sewup. Everything else went into the jersey. Since I'm not currently riding sewups, everything goes in the jersey. Repair stuff in the center pocket, phone/cash/artificial tears in the left pocket, food in the right pocket. This stuff doesn't make any of my jerseys uncomfortable, and I don't care what it makes me look like.

That "crying" thread has got some of all of the BF action:

Agonizing and hand-wringing over a bike purchase
Rue after the susbsequent hand-wringing
Evil Ebay seller
A BF newbie
A new female on BF
Ebay Pros and Cons
BF slapping, and even a bit better, a BF female fight
An unresolved (at this point) issue
Completely off-topic discussion

I can't wait to see how this develops...

This is my favorite part of this...

...it would be nice if more cyclists had your confidence. It would mean a lot less posting on BF though.

I can't remember who I disagreed with over the one state without snow yesterday but I was wrong. Florida is the only state without snow right now, not Hawaii. Sorry about that.

I still say I would rather have snow than hurricanes though.

You forgot Trek bottom bracket detonation discussion. That's important.

how can you post this without a pic?

Has anyone ever seen "The Rules"? I just saw it posted on the Cervelo board. I am sure it is old, but I found it amusing.

I came up with a new rule yesterday:

You get an excused absence from cycling on days when schools are closed for snow.

So does that make you a do-bag?
