Only a Canadian deserved to win yesterdays stage, that was hellish. I think that'll go down as one of the most demanding stages ever b/c of cold weather. How many riders treated for actual hypothermia?

Well, most demanding stages of the ToC maybe. Don't discount the Spring Classics in Europe. It's not like early Spring in Northern France/Belgium tends to be full of pleasant weather. :)

Great quote on wikipedia about Paris-Roubaix:

"It's a pile of ****, this race, it's a whole pile of **** ... You're working like an animal, you don't have the time to piss and you wet your pants ... You're riding in mud like this and you're slipping and ... it's a pile of ****, you must clean yourself otherwise you will go mad ... " Dutchman Theo de Rooy speaking to John Tesh of CBS Sports after his breakaway during he 1985 race. Tesh asks, "Will you ever ride it again?", to which De Rooy responds, "Sure, it's the most beautiful race in the world!" to which Tesh and his crew and De Rooy burst out in laughter.

She was at a wedding in Kolkata and then was going to Dacca in Bangledesh. I think, I cannot recall exactly. She was in Nepal as well and has friends all over the place, so it was supposed to be a month of travelling but yeah, she is back early, woohoo! She was on a stopover when she called so didn't give me all the deets but I think she just wanted to get home a couple of days early.

Regardless, I am afraid I will have to make it to another scotch night instead. Hopefully with some rarer-than-hen's-teeth bottle of hooch that my mom tracks down in the land of rock and wind and rain, otherwise known as The Orkney Isles. Unless she drinks it on the plane ;)

Back behind in the "coach house". I don't recall if there's a buzzer back there.

Got my Ionos today! Really nice helmet :)
They even throw in a special insulated pad that covers the front vents for cooler days! No cases on the high end models anymore though unfortunately.

5 years WTF. I paid that much for 3. LAME!

I hadn't seen that one - looks nice!
If I hadn't scored that Catlike for dirt cheap at the bike show I think I'd be gunning for one of these...

How did scotchnight go?

Very much so.

Anyone remeber the name of the skate video? Want to see that again.

somnambulant 02-23-08 10:24 PM

It was from one of the Mullen vs. Song videos, and it was just the Rodney Mullen section of it.

Besides Urbane I ment. I don't like the skinny asian guy who works there, always trying to get me to take the stickers off my bikes.

sr20det 02-24-08 08:41 PM

I have a 1" threaded to threadless adaptor w/ some shims you could have.
I honestly have no use for it. the thing is though I'll be back from school in easter if you can wait that long.
