You could have at least put them in the correct order. (.)(.)
Well done on both counts. 
Anyway, it's FRIDAY. I'm leaving work at 2:30 to get that haircut then meet up with wife, gMcmGcm and his chickie (Laura) for an MTB ride. We all had a nice road ride yesterday. Laura is a relative newbie to the bike scene, but she's got a good athletic base to work with. She had no problem keeping up with us yesterday on her hybrid bike (granted, is was a casual ride). Introducing her to dirt tonight should be fun.

Morning BV - had a really fun ride with Laura, IAB And MBC last night. I think we covered 20 miles at a pleasant pace. Laura was riding her hybrid bike and she did great. I think she's hooked as she commented several times that evening that she had a blast but that it would have been an even better workout if she had the proper equipment for the ride.
Tonight - we hit the dirt with MBC and IAB! :dancing:

Happy IAB? Is that some kind of holiday?
Hey Loco - how do you like your new IRD road bike? Ride review please.loco said:
Morning , looks like it will be a slow day here today , tons of people took it off, I wish I did now
But since it is slow , I guess that Means Long lunch ride today had a Great 3 Hour ride last night , now they are talkeing about it raining all weekend
Had a good ride at the local trail yesterday even though the humidity was around 100%. 
Got home and had absolutely no water pressure. A quick check revealed that the hot water line had broke. It is an easy fix, but I hate having to crawl under the house.

Rained yesterday so I hit the gym, same for today probably and the rest of the weekend
My warranteed road bike is ready to pick up, it seems my blue '03 is now a bright red '05 with brand new matching fork.

I like it well. It did have some high resonance sound when I hit a bump last night and I am not sure if it is the frame or Co2 in my seat bag. It is stiffer, laterally than the other frame was. All in all, I like it a lot. It fits exactly the same as my old frame.MMcG said:Hey Loco - how do you like your new IRD road bike? Ride review please.
That was a fast turnaround on the warranty replacement wasn't it?Westy said:Rained yesterday so I hit the gym, same for today probably and the rest of the weekend

What company were you dealing with?

Ever hit any sweet jumps with it?Westy said:
Specialized. They had the frame ready at the shop in 3 days, took the rest of the time to swap the components over. Have to say I'm happy with the response and even happier I did not find the bad head tube on a 50 mph decentMMcG said:
Hmm, maybe that is why the head tube cracked??Echo said:

I found a bunch of different ND t-shirts last night. I didn't buy them, but I found them. They had the ramp and the liger.Echo said:

Mornin'. My Moab pics are going to trickle in. I got some pics off the digital camera last night. Most of the actual riding pics are on film, and are being developed right now.
Had some help packing. Thanks dog!
Camp 1 was beautiful. Hunter Canyon.
You'd better go into town and get help. I think I'm stuck.
Camp 2 was even better. Moonflower Canyon.
You broke your bike again, eh? Good job jackass.
I attempted to scan some photos, already developed, here @ work. Our scanner doesn't work so well. This will have to serve as a teaser for now. The photomat is gonna put all the images on a cd for me.

Damn that's wicked fast customer service - and yeah that is a very good thing that you didn't find the bad HT while flying down a hill!
With customer service like that - Specialized moves up a little bit higher on the list of possible road bikes for Laura.

No working on your bike in the morning so change out the bars, grips, tires, seatpost, seat and rims tonight.
I'm going to see him on the 29th... Woo HOO!douglas said:
Last night I saw Garbage with some friends.
Shirley Manson got hauled off stage by the DC cops after she flashed us.
(I think it was part of the show...but am not completely sure).
Morning all.
Have to go out and buy a whole new drivetrain for the Kona today, broke the deraillieur knucke last night when I clipped a rock on a DH section of trail. Yes, the psylo on it is fine.

Either way, that's worth the price of admission right there!!!MudGrrl said:Last night I saw Garbage with some friends.

Saw Dave Attel over in Raleigh a few months back. Met him after the show......of all places---in a bar!!! Nice guy. Had to buy him the obligitory Jagrmiester shot. His act is halirious when he's on. A good crowd helps too.
Good Morning all...
Just picked up my truck from the shop...yea!
Received my tickets for Music Midtown/ATL 2005....3 days of music smack in the middle of downtown Atlanta....should be fun!

he's playing boston this weekend ($35 a ticket, yow!). he had a funny line in the globe today, something to the effect that he likes to watch Girls Gone Wild vids backwards, because then it appears that they have learned their lessons.douglas said:
hit the gym last night, and it was proabably a solid 2 weeks since the last visit. the rowing machine and weights were not my friends, but i managed anyway.
today looks to be the last decent weather day, so maybe i can get out a bit early and ride my local trails from my house. will be a good weekend to clean the basement, organize the bike stuff which my kids have strewn all over creation, and get ready for the PC build. all the stuff came in as planned yesterday. woot woot!
