At the University of Colorado, only 55% of the students graduate in 4 years.

Granted, no one comes here to study.

I found a gear I haven't had all season today.

Absolute carnage.

I'm addicted to getting shelled.



I don't see it as a problem.

Sheesh, you really are a rube.

Not only do Titanic and Tennessee both begin with the same letter, Tennessee has a great naval tradition. Why else would there be a naval base at Millington? It certainly couldn't have anything to do with pork barrel politics.

Well, technique advice actually but some abuse too. I climbed twice as fast as I normally do on certain hills we know well that we do all the time. It's all technique!


So what is the trick?
I tried standing, spinning, different positions on the saddle, etc. I still suck at climbing.

Is that much different than a national average?

Why do we have the Navy in Afghanistan?

Why does banerjek have almost 2X as many posts as I do?

That doesn't look much different than Pacific Coast Highway on a summer weekend. Minus the rain. Today's traffic along the coast was insane. Especially with this heat wave when everyone has the same idea: head to the beach where it's cool.

I was on the bike, so traffic didn't affect me except as something to pass.

Went to the theater to see 'Inception' tonight. I walked out after 90 minutes. Boring. Brutal. My wife stayed. She said it was OK. Happily we were at the mall and I could shop for pointless crap that I wasn't going to buy anyway.

Thank you for that tip. I had a suspicion it sucked. Just the taglines and descriptions, plus Jack from the Titanic.

I don't see why. I don't have a trainer. Nor am I fat.
