Probably gonna go for a spin on my road bike later this evening, anyone interested?

Heh, you took that photo from right behind me.

I've got the backpack on and am texting someone who met the group en route

that would be my ideal piece of flair.

i went in... apparently no cetma racks yet :(


saw keith fixin a bike and talking to someone. thought it might be creepy to say "hi im the guy on the forums...."

You need 16 more pieces.

this goes perfectly with your avatar.

Stuart - Keith mentioned the CETMAs aren't on the floor yet. You'd have to explicitly ask for them.

yup i need this flair for work...for realzies!

Wow. Isn't that like 3 more races in a season than he normally does? Maybe he will give his team-mates some love for once and race a Grand Tour other than the Tour de France . His star has faded..what better way to gain some luster than un-retire. Un-retiring is the new re-hab.

Welcome to Chawchsky's!

Question, what does it mean when my profile information (on the left) is red?

Cavernmech, are Kale and Chan still working at Cycle Solutions?

Kale is the owner and Chun is still there. On another note Keith is right, Lance should do the one thing he never tried and thats ride another grand tour. Levi and Contador are doing it right now, even Sastre is going for the double! The best thing though would be for Lance to actually fail and maybe realise he can't comeback and instead of quitting, maybe ride for someone else!

just dropped my bike off @ urbane.. outta curiousity, which one of ya'll work there?

Operator works there, skinny asian guy with the almond sex legs.

hahaha nice.. i think i saw him there actually.

almond sex legs?!

Old joke.

Was trying to break up my cog and hub as I've a new cog on the side, it sadly didn't work out and I had to let them continue their deep relationship. It's staying on there until I can get some more leverage on the chainwhip (no loctite, but also no grease was used when I originally put it on). I submit defeat for now, twatting thing. :mad:

It also appears my current "well used" chain has cacked up the teeth on both the chainring and cog, so a new chain binds all kinds of nasty on the rear cog - so I guess I'm stuck with el-dutty-chaino until I can get this cog off.

Just as I was finishing up work, it started raining. Double bag of dicks. And poop.

Followed a dude in my 'hood the other night who was going at a fair clip (across College, down Lansdowne and weaving through down MacDonnell/Galley/Sorauren) - no idea who you were but you made my cool-down portion not so cool as I felt obligated to pace :p

Ziggy/ZM Cycle is at the Polish fest down here on Roncesvalles, for those curious. He has a nice Opus 'cross bike there I was ogling earlier.

Off for a spin out to the east end, then perhaps up to Christie/Dupont before home. Have fun out there.

Anyone check out /http://www.mygazines.com/? full magazine's online (ads and all). Not as good as the actual magazine, but a great way to read magazines you'd normally not buy (I'm currently reading Outside magazine)

matt rennick gave me a tip that works everytime ... put the wheel against a wall (like with the tire touching the wall) and use your chainwhip so you're pushing into the wall

He has a nice marinoni ti road bike with chorus too.

I *think* I have the rights to that one. Might have been someone else though.

First cross race of the season was today ... and it was actually wet out! Not a downpour or anything but there was real, actual mud. Photos are uploading to my Flickr account at this very moment and I think somnambulant has more of his own on the way.

As for results ... well, I *ahem* was in the top ten (dfl) and Wes made a valiant effort in his category. Aside from that though, it was actually a really fun time and I'm looking forward to the next one. I just need to swap out my stem and replace my rear derailleur and I'll be good to go. :)

I think you're right. You have exclusive rights to Operators almond thighs. They belong to you. In point of fact, you own Operator's almond thighs.

*****in'.

... Camero.

damn hell ass kings!
