Can't believe I've managed to convince him to consider the ride at all. ("What? a 6 hour ride without a support vehicle?!?")
lmao. I'm almost cheesy enough to consider it, but not on my salary. Plus we've been married too long for that crap. Hmm, good info there...looks like that won't be the route we'll take. I'd rather have hilly and less windy than windy and less hilly. Thanks guys :) |
if you want a copy of the route, email Owen Rogers at the TBN |

Oh. 200km brevet? Nuts! I was riding back last year and these guys were just flying, 40kph. They motioned for me to jump on the back and I did. Asked them a bit later what was happening and they said they were just finishing up a double metric.

cavernmech: you going to Gigantour this summer to see Megadeth? I went last year on my bday. :D I don't think they've announced the lineup for this year yet. awesome list, btw. :) jeremey: dah.. why the heck won't godspeed tour again?! I saw them a few years ago and I've been desperate to see them again ever since. |
No, fork is like $30 extra. Here's the page, they have lots of goodies. I emailed them about how much/and what shipper they use to Canada but they haven't responded yet (site says they're closed till the 29th).

Here are some recent fav's, in no particular order:
1) Isis - can't get enough of their entire discography right now 2) Propaghandi - I'd Rather Be Flag Burning 3) Fugazi - The Argument 4) Mogwai - Mogwai EP 5) Buck 65 - Talkin ***** Blues 6) Death By Stereo - Death For Life 7) Pixies - Trompe Le Monde 8) Killing The Dream - In Place Apart 9) Converge - Jane Doe 10) Autechre - Amber This is a good guage of my music as well, although it often doesn't update my ipod listening habits properly (it keeps missing things.. I *know* I've listened to Isis a lot more than it's reporting): http://www.last.fm/user/somnambulant/ |

yeah, i saw GSYBE a few years ago at the opera house (2001 i think). such a quiet show but really different from the norm; that's why i like them. |

1. bad brains / bad brains ..best album in the known universe 2. hum / you'd prefer an astronaut 3. the cure / mixed up ..damn, it's grade 7 again. 4. tool / 10000 days 5. anything from studio one / 100%-400% dynamite ..all reggae and ska 6. epmd / business never personal ..keep it old school boyeeee 7. run dmc / raising hell 8. minor threat / minor threat 9. pixies / bossanova or doolittle ..flip a coin 10. brahman / a forlorn hope ..japanese punk got soaked riding in this morning.. should've brought a change of clothes.. or at least another pair of socks. clean, dry socks make all the difference in the world. i think we've got 4 decades representin' in this thread. amazing. :) |

Yea you totally knew he was passing the torch as it were, you can feel it in his voice. One of the most powerful albums I've ever listened to ever. Even to the track listing. It is his swan song but it's like he literally died on the recording, he put everything into it as he KNEW it was his last. RIP

Cascada - Everytime we touch
4 Strings - Believe Angel City - Love me right Evanescence - The Fallen Radiohead - Ok Computer Linkin Park - The Theory FLAC ftw. |

Yeah, I don't really have any interest in building up that specific frame above, just purely a get it because it's cheap type thing :D You know in case I break my frame mid ride and need to swap it out.
The big problem i've found mainly is that none of the shops really carry exactly what I want (read: obscure) and when they do it's a special order (might as well order it myself) and not necessarily cheaper than I can order it even after tax/handling/duty (if any). I hate calling around every shop and asking if they carry this that blah blah and 90% of the time they come back and go sorry don't have. :( For example no one has these: http://www.profile-design.com/2006_p.../quickstop.jpg |
