I rode on ice last night on my SS with 36mm tires.
On a 100k group ride last fall, we rode to a State Park. In the park, there was a MTB trail. Took my road bike on the trail and trashed a brand new wheelset. Fun as hell though. The wheelset was covered under warranty.
With all that said....where's the bunny with the pancake because I don't know what in the hell you are talking about.

Came from Sactown to this outstanding bicycle meca only to find out there's no skills here. We have the Olympic training center and Carmichael training and fancy freds with no ability to ride gravel from GOG to 31st or to brave a little snow and gravel on upper Gold Camp. I used to do skills rides with the club in Tacoma and very few people would show but on a big ride people would still fall of their bikes, go figure.
Okay I'm just trying to get your attention here. Do something different on your next ride. Try the hard packed trail that follows the creek. The Navigators (remember them) have a great paved trail that follows 30th to the entrance to GOG instead of being a road block why don't you try and see if you can handle the surprises around each corner of the trail. I darn near hit a doe last month but I was looking through the corner and had enough time to brake and swerve.
Get your carbon dirty. I ride my Litespeed and Specialized out in all weather and the gunk and grime wash off just fine.
Please don't pose, learn something new and have a blast.

Principal: Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Billy Madison: Okay, a simple "wrong" would've done just fine.

Okay I see you all have been laying on the couch with Frued over thinking this.
I wanted to get your mental juices flowing to expand your level of riding skills. Seems people don't explore much anymore because they may fall on a gravel path that may just lead them to their best ride yet.
Any how, I'll let you all over think this again and rip it a new one. Enjoy.
Oh ya. Has anyone seen Jimmy Mac and his side kick Bernie Da Bus Driver.

Okay there is no resemblance of people who actually ride their bikes here. Would you be so kind as to direct to me were in this forum people chat about riding.
Imagination is left up to the imaginer. Ya I know Frank Zappa is over your head also.

If you're going to rant about something, at least do it coherently.
2 demerits for incoherence, 2 more for punctuation. As of this moment, you're on DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION!
*edit* I thought this was going to be about something fun, like blocking or messing with the other guys' heads during a race. *sigh*
