Consistency doesn't seem to be the norm. I wonder if it is because only things that are reported are closely looked at, due to the volume of posts?

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Fortunately, Presta valves operate on pressure differential to open and close, so all you have to do is exceed the pressure inside the valve body to open it for intake and as soon as the inflo pressure drops, the valve closes from the internal pressure.

Good, because we can't catch that stuff all the time, unless the community cooperates, given the post volume in here.

If I got a free set of 3K wheels and a power equipped crankset I might just quit my day job and focus on what is right with my life. Given the general panic resulting from the mirror image of the new TT helmet, I'd say you should start hiding assets from the tax man before it gets out of control.

I was out house-hunting today and saw two Rubicon/Orbea/Land Rover team vehicles parked back in a little not-too-fancy neighborhood in Vancouver. Team's based in Portland but someone affiliated with the team must be a Vancouverite.
It was a bit of a shocker to be looking at some $60,000 rundown fixer-upper houses (EXTREMELY cheap in this market) and see those two Land Rovers a couple blocks up the road.
(pic not from today, of course, I dunno why I didn't snap a pic - had my cam with me...)

You don't have to worry about it. If you claim to make 20 K a year but own a Mercedes, a Ducati, and are seen about town at expensive restaurants picking up large tabs you should worry.

Throw the stick!!!!
Had a great ride today, very windy but still a great ride. Did the ride with a buddy of mine. We did the same route that I rode last Saturday with the local bike club. Our riding time 12 minutes slower than last weekend but my average wattage was up by 7 watts. The wind really made it tough.

56.75 miles, 4,393 ft climbing, 2,252 kj's.
That put me at 221.6 miles for the week, 572.1 for the month of April

These guys do some nice work, I like this one:
Mangerschlung – (adjective; from old Dutch) 1. the sound of blowing a snot rocket; 2. describing the residue left from mucus, usually found on gloves, shorts, shoes.
