Morning all. Had Treesaw and Sq-Earl over for dinner last night. Whipped out some teriaki chicken stir-fry that came out pretty good. But it was T's chocolate mousse/custard dessert thing that made the meal!! :drool:

The babies had their first date... :love:



And some of these were consumed... :thumb:

Yuppers! If Hooples said he would drive, so it looks like ITS ON!!! I haven't been riding much MTB though lately, been trying to screw some road miles on.

Going camping tomorrow, nothing too outrageous. It'll be nice to get up into pine country with my friends and dog and be able to just relax and drink beer.

Last day before going to Bermuda - I'm psyched! Will post pictures when I return... whether you guys want to see them or not ;)
antimony]Ok, the real thread. Good morning! I leave for Bermuda tomorrow morning, and I am so excited to see my family! I am not looking forward to the flight, though. Let's hope the increased dose of Xanax does the trick. Ah well... have a good weekend, and a good next week, everyone!
Ohh....have fun!!!

Good morning. Had an excellent dinner with McGRP01, the Mrs. and his little cutie last night. Today we're heading to pick up Sq-Earl's new glasses (actually just new lenses I think) then we're off to lunch and then hitting the local trails for some riding. Today is going to be good...I know it!!!

Had a good ride in this morning. One of my neighbors let me draft off him the entire way..kept his pickup truck going the perfect speed so I could pedal my heart out and still keep up with him.

It's Friday!

Morning all, I've been in meetings all morning:dead: and I'm ready for some lunch!

Dropped down to the LBS last night to check on some tires to replace the Maxxis Minions that came on the bike (so I can save them for the right terrain) I think I am going to get a set of Ritchey Z-Max's any one have experience with them? I had a set a bunch of years ago, and I think I liked them but cant remember specifics! should I get the 2.1's or 2.35's?

I am going to get some crappy food and then probably off to more fvcking meetings:redhot:

Good morning,

Got some frame stickers coming in the mail from Macko, :thumb: thanks man!

This weekend's ride looks like Flagstaff to Sedona, a nice little 40 mile romp through the pines. Looking forward to that.

Hey McGRP01, that's a pretty nice beer menu there... I'm coming over to your house!

Everyone have a good weekend (especially in Bermuda!)!

Good Friday afternoon. Posting here from the Public library at lovely Key West, Fl...weather's horrible: sunny, 90's, low humidity...No biking for me with the old tendonitis, though we may grab a couple of cruisers over the weekend. My wife has also "banned" me from renting a scooter and I'm kinda glad actually! Too many drunkards and I think I would be riding it like a modified 50cc minibike! Saw a bunch of deep sea barracudas yesterday on a short snorkeling trip. Over and out - Jim.

This year has already sucked as far as bike repairs go. So far I have broken the chains on my bikes a combined total of about 6 times. This is after never having broken a chain...ever. I have also gotten about 5 flat tires, all in a month and a half of riding. I hope things pick up, or this is going to be an expensive year. Or just a year filled with pedalling around bikes with DH tubes and tires.
