Well done, 2manybikes.

Didn't you rent a S5 in Fl and comment that you like it?
i think you will talk about its looks until you buy one and then change the subject to how fast it is.

I wanted to send the dog sitter home earlier. I missed Bailey. I had a bike problem. There was an earthquake. Also a flood, and a hurricane. The end of the world was already passed. At midnight my bike turns into a pumpkin.
Did I miss anything?
You had a flat, it was dinnertime, your carbon fiber whatever asploded, your guads hurt, the rapture occurred, it started to rain, it started to snow, it was too cold, it was too hot,

In spite of all the drama, I do hope she comes back.

I agree but highly doubtful, 50:1 she does not.

The cycling gods are pretty much OK with me, I think.

Really?? I thought we were a fun group! Don't you think she misses us??

datlas 12-24-12 11:15 AM
Ugh, I have to gather the family and pile into the MiniVan...and drive to my sister in law's place in NJ.

Wish me luck.

I will have my iPhone, so I might still pop in from time to time....but if not, I wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday.

What's up with the "10K Budget for Road Bike" thread?

Has it turned into a morality play??

Well of course she misses us, but human shame is a powerful force to be denied and avoided at all costs. Funny thing is that the best thing she could do for herself is get back in, offer a mea culpa and go on learning something of what demons motivated her to such behavior. I think all are pretty forgiving in this place, I for one do not hold grudges and am guilty of thinking the best, not the worst of all about me.

They always do. Class warfare persists. Bring out the Guillotines.

Our Fredlies
Who art on steel frames,
Stay seated on thy Brooks,
Give us this Merlin,
Our daily ride,
And forgive us our dreams,
Of woolen clothes
As we forgive those
Who mock against us,
And lead us not,
Into the 41
But deliver us from the carbon temptation for steel is real ,
And thine is the steel, the lug, and the leather,
For ever and ever,
Amen.

Leave the cheesy poetry to me sawbones.

:roflmao2: :roflmao2:

Yeah, but the locusts were being slammed into my face at 200 mph due to the tornado. The back brake was rubbing. I had a slow leak. The wheel size number is off a little. I bumped the Flight Deck off button on the hoods. I rode through a black hole and came out the other side in a different location.
I needed more dylithium crystals for the warp drive.

iJen was in the black hole too, she came out a little further down the course.

I'll second this. I hope she comes back at some point. I personally couldn't care less about the IM thing. There's more to her than just that. I wish Jen a very merry Christmas, a happy New Year and hope that she can just put it all in the past.
