ps. the sprint to the finish in yesterdays stage was uphill and they hit 78kph. Craziness.

I was about to say I'm down but then I remembered I'm going to my friend's show that night. Crap. I guess I'll have to watch Sunday's stage in the morning! Anyone want to watch sunday's stage sunday morning at my place? Yeah. I thought not. :rolleyes:

Okay, thanks for the heads up.

The Nashbar hat order seems to be in. I'll be picking it up this afternoon and PM everyone the damage.

Cool, I'm free today, meet and grab a coffee later to pay up if you are free.

If only I had $60 to waste, and wanted to be a BF hipster.

Don't you have to pre-register or is that only if you're registering a city (i.e. as per the mess media page)

And I'll be leaving work around 4, so a hook up around 5'ish or thereafter should fly if that works.

So i just took a look around PBK I see this line lot "E-Mail Me
When In Stock" Hell i don’t need any of it anyway! (Well)

I get out at 4:30, so if you want a 3rd for coffee, let me know. :) I'm probably gonna head somewhere for one anyway.

also: tattoo nerds: do any shops here do anything special on Friday the 13th? :) Some friends of mine did a 13 13's for $13 thing last year.

Eeee.... I'll be bouncing around like Duppy was last week. I'll probably meet Pyze at Tango Palace, our local caffeine stop.

How do you like the exauster shoes? Are they worth getting?

it's been worth it to me; 2 years and they're still going strong, despite many rainstorms. of course the cleats are totally worn down, but that's probably because i often have the urge to tapdance on floors/pavement. they were my first cycling shoes though, so other than my schmancy sidis, i can't really give a good comparison. i will caution, however, that how well they fit might depend on your feet: i find the tongue in them a bit annoying (but not enough to give them a bad overall review). oh, and i dig that they have a reflective bit on the heel!

Exustar road shoes FTL. Sidi FTW.

I_bRAD 07-13-07 05:51 PM

Sidis are better, but they are also 2-3 times the price. Exustar is a great budget choice

Who's got details about Toby's alleycat tomorrow? I'm driving my nefew's first date home at 9ish, so no Global Gutz for me.

32flavours 07-13-07 06:07 PM

Isn't Toby's alleycat next Saturday the 21st?

TRaffic Jammer 07-13-07 06:13 PM

if it is then I've been waaay misinformed.. :lol: Next SAt would be more gooder. ;)

Phew. I promised to man (... wo-man?) a checkpoint and I'm out of commission tomorrow night.

TRaffic Jammer 07-13-07 06:58 PM

Cool, any idea of what time?

I must miss the cultural relevance. Having a 13 tattooed seems like the putting a hudu bullseye on yourself to me.
