Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

He was either banned from road or banned himself from road after a minor meltdown of rapid diarrhea posting.

Since he can't come in road, we were asked not to say much about him since he can't respond.

HTH

OK I figured as much, I have been pretty busy so I missed the offending postings. Sounds like I didn't miss much.

Did VV find a GF yet??

Razor's implosion culminated on page 40. I thought it was earlier.

We had one theory...he was chased away from our neighborhood and then followed my scent...the wrong direction. He ended up about a 1/2 mile away from the turn-around of the 42 mile ride I've done 3 times over the last month. It wouldn't be unreasonable that he followed my route, would it?

I think that's a possibility. I had a dog that could follow my trail and find me when I went on a bike ride. In any case, that is an amazing story. Wow!

Is Gianni a Himalayan? Great story. Amazing to find him so far away.

Congrats dstrong!
I think your theory is reasonable.
I have a feral cat that lives in my backyard. She always follows me and my dogs when we go for walks. Always 30-50ft behind us. She has followed us for miles.

I can't hold in my excitement any more. As form of the 2nd half of payment for a website I did for the bikesdirect owner I will soon be the proud recipient of this bike

Ooooh, mama, that's a nice ride. I still haven't figured out what Dynasys means. Maybe tonight I'll delve into the marketing mumbojumbo.

It's basically their first 10speed mtn bike drivetrain. And it's supposed to be a lot smoother and stable than their XT/SLX lines.
