Shutup, dickweed.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhahahahahaha nice nice...

What, you're getting your hair cut again? It's so hot in my apartment as soon as I get home I collapse into a puddle, so I haven't finished my SS mtb - that's my excuse. I should really tune the fork anyway before I take this evil out on the trails.

hahah.. No, Dave has something goin' on at 7:30 so we're getting a ride in earlier. And yeah, the heat is gonna be disgusting, but I'd actually prefer to be out in it and moving around rather than sitting in my apartment and stewing in my own juices. Can't get a good breeze going through there at all. Thankfully we have an AC unit in the bedroom at least.

Yo Wes & Andre (and maybe more?)
The new Chuck Ragan record is online on his myspace and it sounds amazing! They put the slide (and more) back in "The Boat" which is incredible...

so i've been trying to work on keeping my temper in traffic lately, and today i actually managed at one point to think clearly enough to reply coherantly AND quote the relevant HTA section! it seemed like there were a bunch of peds with cameras eagerly trying to capture another possible brew-ha-ha, so i wonder if it'll show up on youtube?

oh and speaking of which (c/o bike lane diary), go bRAD go:

What does Wes do on a Heat/Smog advisory day? He goes for a hard ride in the Don, of course!

Way to tell us about it after the fact.. jeez! :)

meow! hehehe.. where was that climb?

Also: speaking of tempers, I screamed into some guy's window who pulled into the bikelane immediately in front of me on my way home from the Don. I preach the zen mindset, but sometimes you just gotta go nutzoid. :P Things tend to build up in a "serenity now, insanity later" kind of way.

Sorry dude, I was going to post up last night before I went to the show but I ended up going straight from work. Expect you dudes would have gotten a kick out of Walter Schreifels acoustic set - only one Quicksand song and no Gorilla Biscuits or Rival Schools this time around... Fun, none the less.

i confess to yelling into a cabbie's window the other day; he deserved it.

man, that rapha "fixed t-shirt" is awsome. if i had some $ to burn i might actually pick it up.

wes, i can't believe you went for a hard ride in this. you can taste the smog out there... i'm thinking of riding early tomorrow morning if any of you irregular-working-hours are in the mood.

I think you need to take a self potrait in that pose. Insta crash facebook server

easy, tiger....

i'll take a few stickers...

I love this.

Wth?

I like!

Lets be friends!

If anyone ever says that to me again ... unhappy things will ensue.

One first glance, I thought that said hat said "Ralph".

And don't worry about the rage, folks. This heat makes drivers stupid and our tempers on edge. This too shall pass.

man, some of these songs have changed a whole lot since the versions I heard! I <3 Chuck Ragan! :P

After the blue screen of death was present, I managed to save my computer. Yeah dad. No ride in the Don thurs for me, more baby classes. Sunday though should work Jer. Keep me posted, I like the non fitness aspect you mentioned.

You should see the Condor Rapha team bikes! They have an aero tubed Alumnum track frame and a carbon fibre pinarello-esque (swoopy molding) road frame! They're black with white and pink bands. They're made in Italy at the Dedacchi factory too so the quality should be solid! Awesome! Do any of you guys want me to bring some Rapha stuff back? They have it in stock at Condor. I'm going back to London before I come home so I could grab some stuff and mail it home.

Keith they did have a couple of larger frames at Brick Lane. They had just arrived so they weren't all catalouged/priced yet. When I'm back in London I could look into it and the cost of shipping if you want. I'll let you guys know what stuff I find in Germany/France/Italy I'm sure there will be other awesomeness to be found.

So last night I was talking to this French girl and her boyfriend :mad:(sorry it's not THAT kind of story ;)) about cycling in France. Turns out the guy works for this small custom only mountain bike company in Grenoble. They were so nice and helpful and helped me get my alp riding logistics worked out. I'm going to stay in the town of Bourg d'Oisan which is pretty much at the base of Alpe d'Huez. Apparently there is a huge roadie culture there and also the main language is Dutch! Should be good.

if the smog isnt bad enough...I had to slow myself down this morning for lack of oxygen...whats with the hordes of tiny flies? The whole way in I had to keep my helmet visor facing down and my mouth closed lest I end up with a mouth full of bugs. Is it the humidity that brings this pestilence out of the woodwork?

Hey Dan. Good times aplenty there eh fella? Rock and Roll this weekend and have a Guiness for me will ya? Let me know when you are back in London. I might be interested in a frame if the price is right. Also if you find any good straps in yer travels (Binda Laminated's or something similar) grab a pair for me. Cheers and keep the rubber side down bro!
