You're not old enough to die. You're not even 18 yet.

You would require your parents' consent. But I'm sure that wouldn't be a problem.

Oh wait, I don't have a book.

I'm sure you could have one of the BF Grammar Nazis ghost write it for ya - not like they've got anything better to do.

That was just mean. Who do you think I am, Razor?

No offense Razor ;)

If you die or have serious neurological damage it will spoil it for me. On the other hand if you wind up brain dead, you'll still be able to participate on this thread.

this hill stuff is awesome. I don't think I'm ever going to ride in Miami again.

You can sign an IPad displaying a screen shot of this thread.

Then I'd have to sign my iPad and give it away to the first person who comes to the Book Signing, which would probably be coasting.

I used to love Heathrow as a kid. It had the Oasis Lounge - a veritable cornucopia of free food and alcohol for a high schooler. I think it was only for British Airways passengers. The layovers were awesome.

Gatwick sucked.

Fixed.

Oh I'm sure Heathrow is even more fun than Newark. I can't hardly wait. What a great way to end a vacation in drab Greece, @ exciting Heathrow.

patentcad 06-16-10 08:37 PM

Maybe coasting will bring a friend.

Velo Vol 06-16-10 08:42 PM

Hey Pcad,

Are you downloading books on the iPad? Or are you still a hard copy reader?

Is this where you tell us how much climbing you're going to do in Greece?

More importantly, which bike are you bringing?

I'm bringing the Scott. My climbing in Greece is limited to the size of the mountain road climbs there, but generally it's 6-7 miles each way up over the mountain pass both ways every day, plus some other climbing. It's a lot of steady climbing, and the roads are great. I figure in my last two trips there (2006, 2008) I probably did at least 500 miles on the local roads each time, so I'm very familiar with them.

No, no. that makes people WANT to have a stroke.

Your million vertical feet thread is a bust. In that one picture, did you tuck your yellow jacket into your tights?

Fashion gets more difficult with age.

Very cool. Riding in Italy is next on the list. Bringing the bike seems problematic. What carrier do you use?

20 year old soft case. Works great. The newer soft cases you can buy now are better still. Hard cases suck for several reasons.
