Wow.. that's kinda freaky.. :rolleyes:

Isn't it though?

It doesn't matter what you know. What matters is if you feel good about yourself.

Until it's time to find a job.

Why do you think there are so many Starbucks locations?

...real men of genius...
:eek:

I definitely just need to HTFU, but I had a similar experience with the local club. Ride was advertised as having route guidance, having several levels of start groups, and no drops/no left alone for newcomers. Well, there were no maps or route sheets, no one or group of ability group leaders, no ability groups, no one looking for newbies, noone doing a sweep, and no identification of club personnel.

Luckily I knew a route to the destination, but it wasn't the expected one. I rode with a person who was new to the area, and she had hoped to use these rides to learn local routes. Well I taught her one, but there was not a good impression left, overall. So yes, I need to get faster, but this ride was not as advertised.

Yeah.. definitely is.. I used the wrong emoticon.. sorry.. meant to use this: :eek:

I have serious doubts about a guy that uses the term "playfully mocking"...could be "man love"...:love:

I can't stop laughing....:roflmao:

It couldn't kill a couple hobbits ;)

looks like a pretty steep grade.

Besides, my dog Sam's full name is Samwise.

Yeah, they're all supposed to risk a crash to spare your feelings :)

Good Lord this thread is getting ridiculous.

you've been a member of bf since july of 2005 and this comes as surprise?

* giggles*


about riding groups being elistic, Im split on that one..

I did go through one tough ride where I was left to fend for myself and find my way back ( I did get lost on icy roads in a 25 degree temp) of course I was upset and thought it was wrong since the ride was tagged 'social" ride but I turned the table around and put responsability on myself instead of them.

If I had been faster I wouldn't have had to turn back,( noone's fault but mine) that's where the work began for me, it's much easier to change yourself then change everyone else.

I love this nonsense. Folks come out of the woodwork to pile on these "elitists". They dropped the guy. That's not elitism, it's riding fast. That's what everyone here is going for.

If you want to ride slow there are other subforums here at BF which may be more your style.

You could probably even mix it up a little in a helmet mirror flamewar or two. This forum is a little too elitist – preoccupied with Zipps and other such things that make you go fast and/or look good (equally important).

I've seen guys who can't stay upright on skates try to mix it up in open hockey with the high school kids. The ones who get all butthurt about not getting passed to because they're 8 minutes late joining the rush and never move their stick to receive a pass because it's the only thing keeping them from falling down are the ones who give up. The ones who recognise they suck and that it's their own stupid fault for sucking tend to stick with it, fall down a lot, and gradually get better. I know because I used to suck at it, too. I kept at it for years, fell down a lot and no longer have problems. Those little turds wish they could keep up with me now.

And?

It just seems to be on a whole new level of ridiculous. I mean, we still have the dry sarcastic rants and ramblings, the useless drivel, and the pointless remarks, oh and the confusing squirrel art, but it's gone to new heights. What page will it stop? When will the points be driven home enough to never put the defibrillator to this subject again?


edit: and since I'm back to work, I want to make more of the day by stretching this as far as possible.

You have much to learn about BF grasshopper. Stick around.

See ... new heights to hit!!

wussy.

yes i am.

You all have nothing better to do. That's pathetic.

My training was completed before 6am. I am working now. That's what's pathetic.

Heart Akerson has completed La Ruta ten times. I would love to see some cat 3 Lance wannabe give him sh*t on a group ride. He races in cut-off jeans and Tevas.

I get paid for doing this too. That's really pathetic.
