    Anyone remember HammerHead?

    I'm guessing your brother must be Adam. It was a bummer when he left the shop. I believe True Fab is still in operation making custom steel 29ers.

    If it's 70 degrees, you have to ride [o]

    ...and instead of riding over the weekend when it was nice, I waited until today when it is 36 degrees...

    I sux at time management

    Lights sure help. Since most people's daylight hours are consumed by work, ride at night. Lunch rides are good if you have trail near where you work and a shower when you return. Commuting helps get in the extra miles to stay in shape.

    Things that seem simple to others that you find confounding:

    Music Theory. Getting air. If my wheels are off the ground, something is probably wrong.

    Other bicycle classifieds?

    AFAIK, most hospitals will let you do some sort of payment plan. Usually, they won't even ding your credit if you're late or don't pay it all every month. I don't know if that is really true, just what I've heard.

    Worst Bike you have ever owned

    Jamis Dakar. I was just getting back into riding and bought a Jamis Dakar as my first FS bike. I broke the frame 3 times in ~6 months (and I'm not a Clydsdale). There were also problems with the rear dropout that prevented the rear wheel from actually staying put. When it worked, it...

    Office Pranks

    I used to be an engineer at AMD. We had just finished taping out a chip and our manager was out on tour (he is also in a rather popular band). While he was gone, we converted his nice 12'x12' office with great view to a 3'x4' janitor's closet. We built walls, including floating and...

    Movie Trailer: "300" WOW!

    I saw 300 at Buttnumbathon in December. The director was sitting next to me. VERY cool movie, IMHO. Review: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/30936

    For the record, I was referring to when I first get on the bike to when I get off the bike. The "car/house" and "return/arrive" was because sometimes I ride from the house and go to work. I did not mean that I count the time that I am in the car on the way to the trail or something. I...

    I put in the time I leave the car/house to the time I return/arrive. If I sit BSing on the trail, that should count against my average speed, IMO.

    Trade in the truck for a car?

    I did this. I traded in my Dodge Dakota for a Honda Civic. I miss the convenience of the truck, but the money savings is well worth it IMO. I put a hitch rack on after the first confrontation with a parking garage. :imstupid: The hitch rack is way more convenient anyway. I would...

    BCS game..

    Just to point out....last year, everyone anointed USC as national champs in early December and were trying to figure out where they were ranked on the all-time list. UT then proceeded to beat them. I attended a Big Ten school and will root for OSU, but I think the gators have a pretty...

    Jeez...I haven't entered anything since last February. I'm way behind now. Can I just enter one ride for a couple thousand miles (I swear I rode that much) to catch up? :) It would be nice to have a monthly view under the groups tab. BTW, am I the only one that is not really training...
