morning all,
had a great night of trail work at the park with Manhattanprjkt after over a 1 week layoff due to my contracting "hand foot & mouth" disease from one of my lovely students:mumble:
anyway, we cut 2 deadfall trees to place across a ravine and I dragged them into place, and actually walked across the trees and they held. we didn't have them dug in, so it was a little sketchy, but it is going to be sweet. I am going to pick up some pallets today to use as the bridge decking.
what I have planned
today: Mow lawn
blow nose (allergies are killing me)
Wash Bike
Go to bank (whoot whoot! I got paid for one of my clubs, and I am going to go blow the money on something cool at the shop)
go get pallets
modify pallets
monitor RM for any good stuff
go to park and drop pallets
GO TO BEER DISTRIBUTOR AND GET A CASE OF GOOD STUFF (I only have 2 left in the fridge and that can be bad!)
Wait for Manhattanprjkt to get done with work so we can build baby build! then drink beer
what Bek has planned for me
watch Emma
Mow lawn
go to lunch with her family (not happening)
go to some stupid party (there is a party for someone in her family every fvcking day this weekend :mumble: ) (need I say not happening)
have a great weekend if I don't hear from you guys! and to all who are going, good luck at the races! make the monkey proud!

Good morning.
Still no word back from Capt.Crispy, so I guess it's time to make him look like an ass. Maybe he did ship the fork, maybe not. No reply for a week is inexcusable, so I will post a warning when I have more time with name/address and such. I think I have a number for him, so I'll likely try to call. Pretty lame if you ask me.

Me too! $$ is tight... I planned to race but still took those days off! Maybe I'll come to 'Toga to ride with you guys?McGRP01 said:always is....Doubt I'm going this year. $$ is tight right now, so my racing schedule has been cut way back.
Word! C'mon up!!Jim Mac said:
yep that sucks! the shop Manhattan and I work at lends tools outPolandspring88 said:
not the best idea when you are running a business! and the one owner is kinda forgetful so sometimes the stuff never comes back, not to mention that he always forgets to place orders! if you want something done it is best to talk to the other owner the facing tool is expensive. I have thought about getting one anyway myself, and if the shop needs it take it in for them. (one of the tools that I believe made legs)

I should be in the Albany area with Rob on Sat. Maybe we'll stop by.Jim Mac said:
Where do you ride in the Pine Bush? I wasn't aware that riding was allowed. What are the trails like?
So what's "good stuff"?brungeman said:my badwait... I think you misread... check again!!!
No sir it does not. Begins with a C and the building has a big blue top. Right in the Boston area.mogulskr said:

Quick - quit your job and go to work for Trek. You are the best bike designer ever.stosh said:ROFL
I just got the new Jenson ad.
They build up their black zion just like mine. Except mine has 8gear and theirs only has 1.
I would come up and ride with you all, but my on-call job (electronic leash) keeps me from going too far...have it until 9:00 am Monday...bluebug32 said:
The Pine Bush is kind of flat and sandy. It has a mix of double and singletrack. There is an abundance of bootleg fun tight trails but you risk getting ticketed. There are also some good trails that are off the 'Bush property that are fun and are "unticket-able". It's a short ride, though unless you string the many dislocated parts of the 'Bush together (divided up my roads, malls, etc.).
I get out of work by 5pm on Saturday and hope to be riding by 6...and Sunday I'm not sure yet.
I normally do this pretty nice, fast & fun 15 mile "sorta" loop that hits all the good bootleg trailsJim Mac said:
last time I was there, bombing down a illegal trail, i see someone stoped, with a 'trail patrol' vest on, uh oh.......so I shifted up a gear or 2 and ride past them, and didnt look back for 5 minutes or so
I think with the warmer weather, a Hoppier beer is the right choice, so probably Troegs HopBack amber ale. or something along those lines, a little more fiery to cut the heat. Maybe a Great Lakes "Burning River pale ale" or even their "Holy Moses white ale"I Are Baboon said:
I will see when I get there! but believe me it will be a reward for a hard school year!
Yep, that sucks... headtube facing/reaming is one of the few jobs I have to farm out. $300+ for a tool I'd use maybe once every few years is even more than I can justify... but fortunately, my LBC is pretty good about stuff like this. Had them ream my Yeti out for a Steelset and had it back the next day.Polandspring88 said:
If that had failed, I know another shop where the owner is a tool junkie (has Snap-on for sockets and screw drivers, fer cryin' out loud...) and basically has the complete Park and Campy tool collection. A few years ago, he almost bought an alignment table.
I love tools... :love: ...as anyone who has seen my tool boxes can attest. At one point I even had a spoke threader, but sold it after deciding I don't build wheels often enough.
Just go with a good IPA...Big fan of the Dogfishhead 60 or 90 minute...brungeman said:I think with the warmer weather, a Hoppier beer is the right choice, so probably Troegs HopBack amber ale. or something along those lines, a little more fiery to cut the heat.

Were you wearing your "USA Rules!" t-shirt again?
"Odoul rules"JRB said:
Either this was an ill attempt at "ODoyle RULES!" or somebody who really like to tell Italian's how much he likes non-alcoholic beer...
Uh..good afternoon,
Firmed up the Flagstaff trip for Sunday, stoked about the ride. There is also a full moon night ride at McDowell Park this weekend but on the fence for that one considering I have to bail out at 3:00 AM to prepare for the Flag trip.
Have a good weekend.

I would imagine he had something more like "Rockin' with W in my H3". Nevermind, that would be someone else here.I Are Baboon said:

Apparently to spell it correctly. You do know, no matter how stupid the line, most films start out with a script, right???dogwonder said:You need a script for ODoyle rules?
Yes...familiar with acting process...done some theater myself...but I'd never forget a line as classic asJRB said:
ODOYLE RULES!!!
