ya I was gonna say that too.

as long as you aren't like murdering yourself for a pr up it or incorporating those climbs in 4 hour rides you should be able to do those three rides three days in a row.

I'm weak and slow. I promise you I can't do two mountains in a row.

I could certainly do tam on saturday and then monday night.

But this is all irrelevant because I havent seen my girlfriend in 2 months and this was a planned visit.

EDIT: and I should note that mt. tam and mt. diablo are both about a 50 mile ride each for me. So yeah, they'll take 4 hours.

most of the time:

gf > riding

luckily for me my gf is very fast and races and I often can't drop her.
she's way more badass than me. gifted for sure. i'm just an ordinary hack

Not with that attitude you can't!

Today I'm still waiting for my damn tax refund. Supposed to be sent on the 15th and I have nothing.

fooook i still have to hand mine off to the accountant........

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuüüüüüüüüüüüüü

Today I bought some Giro shoes.........went home to put on some new cleats and there was only one shoe inside the box

-____________- WTF FML LOL LMFAO

Holy crap that sucks man, but I literally laughed out loud.

i guess that's just what you get with giro shoes instead of sidis or magics =>

I guess it is time to meet and and probably drop me

u be at ontario on the 26? If so i'll say hi. I know what u look like from bf. Sho-air?

Also I doubt that I am going to drop you. Not only because we will likely be in diff races (im cat3), but because I r sprinter and aren't as strong as you might think over long efforts.

Unless we're talking about a 200m 1v1 race. I'll drop your ass hard.

Today I forgot my bike lock, so...

How's the weather in Chicago today?

Today I got the results from my cancer test, they weren't negative!

I don't actually have cancer, I just though I tanked an exam because I took it while being sick and delirious.

you scared me when I read the first line of your post.

that **** ain't no joke.

why not do that everyday? around here a couple of the hallways are so crammed with bikes it's hard to walk through.

mayb not the best idea considering people walk through with expensive or hazardous samples, but me move them when the fire marshall rolls through :D.

Yeah, cancer is a very complex disorder. Its pretty crazy how many different ways it can arise (which is why its so hard to treat). The scientific knowledge of how cancer works is getting pretty in depth, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some new treatments in the recent future. This is actually a subject that I could see my self studying in graduate school.

I apologize for the off color joke though, because it is a serious illness. I tend to be insensitive when I'm sick/exhausted/fixed gear is still broken, but at least its the weekend!

Today I placed a rather large order for some frames and other stuff for the shop that I think a lot of people will be stoked about. :innocent:

Today I got mad at Scrod for saying vague things that get people stoked without giving any substantial information.

^tall apartment living is one of my life dreams =<

Today, taking my gravity reading for my homebrew (a little later). I took one yesterday and was spot on where I wanted to be. If it is consistant today, secondary fermentation!!!! (then bottles for 3 weeks)

its cool, no feelings hurt. someone very close to me is going through this (hopefully done now) and so it stuck close to home.

RE: cancer research, that **** is going on ever where, including at my work. clearly there are alot of research dollars out there right now.
a couple guys at my work at working an an Fe magnetite nanoparticle for cancer therapy, funded by JHU (John Hopkins).

I don't know the dirty details as I am not working on this project, but the concept is pretty simple:
The Fe nanoparticles are prepared in house (proprietary method :D), and the surface is coordinated with branched polyethylene glycol molecules.
The PEG is conjugated to an antibody that bonds with some sort of enzyme present in certain types of cancerous cells, the details of which I am ignorant.

The nano particles are introduced intravenously (i think?) and accumulate at the cancer site due to the Fe/PEG/Antibody/Cancer interactions.
The patient is placed in a strong magnetic field which causes the Fe to vibrate and heat up due to it's high magnetic moment, killing nearby cells.

pretty cool.
