Just got back from kelso. Good times, but unless you just want to ride up and down the hill there's not much in the way of hills. There could also be more trails for 7 bucks.
The "x-treme" trail is pretty fun though.

Also, to re-hash the carbon mtb argument, I fell on some rocks today and the seat tube landed on a rock with all of my weight on it. If it had been carbon I'd have had a very expensive and upsetting walk back to the bottom of the hill.

Welcome Toby!

Made pizzas the shape of bicycle wheels for dinner. This recipe is hands down the best one I know for homemade crust. I sub half brown flour, and make sure the pan is covered in corn meal.

What about steel or titanium or aluminium or magnesium or bamboo or [miscellaneous alloy]?

Objection, your honor - speculation.

Well I know titanium came out OK. Carbon+impact on sharp rock= I can't believe it would have came out OK.

THIS WAS COPEED AND PaSTed from a MoDerTOR.>..

Toby, your trolling wasn't clever enough, your use of insults & vulgarity wasn't subtle enough, and you need to utilize the rules of English grammar. We have a censor on this forum that turns certain words into asterisks, so when you use blatantly vulgar words, all we see is ********. That's boring and make you look stupid.

Don't be boring. That would be your worst mistake on the SSFG forum. Be clever and witty without being too nasty, and you'll find that much is overlooked by moderators.

WHOLEEE SMOKES THE IINTERNET IS SEERIUZ BIZZZNAS!!!1!1!!!
anyways sorry to those offended but once i getzz teh intrent i will try to be more tactfull N E WAIZ Peace 2 MY CREW SEE ya'll on the rode...

Hahaha... in keeping with true Toby style his intro post gets beleted by the mods. Great stuff. Hey Toby, "TRACK BIKES... LAME!!!"

I'm heading out today post "brunch" - I realize it's 10:30 on the long weekend the lady is hell bent. My body is aching like the ol' man I am from learning one foot over the bar skids and those side saddle skids... but I'm dyin' to nail that *****e to prove my relevence (Thanks Denny Crane).

Anywho, I'll start madly dialing when I'm done and perhaps hook up with some of you fine folk.

Hey Toby: Mission accomplished. You know what I'm talking about. Oh wait you can't read this. You'll probably read this later on my computer or something. Meh.

Ryan if you're up to no good I'm your partner in crime. Except a bit less gay than that just sounded.

Edit: I love how the moderator told Toby to utilize the rules of English grammar and then two sentences later says "That's boring and make you look stupid". That my digital friends is gold.

Damn sham. That's what I get for not turning on my computer for days at a time. How was the show?

So I wake up this morning and I'm all like, "Woo, day off! Time to get out and ride!"
But the gf's all like, "I've got to go to work, here's your list of cleaning to get done."
And I'm all like, "OMFGWTF?"

Pwned.
