Good job, Doug. You follow orders well.

Have fun at Jiminy! I would say I'm jealous, but I am heading to Florida tomorrow morning for vacation for a week. WOO HOO!

Yeah, it's going to be HOT. Still better than working though.

We're going to Disney World. We got the hook up with free lodging at Disney's Old Key West resort (normally $550/night for a room there ). We have a 7:00 flight tomorrow morning.

me, I'm waiting for a fork

for one thing, it was a cheap one that came one my bike.

i went for a looong ride that was really rough, and when i got home i noticed that it was not turning freely, so i did some investigating and i relized that the metal ring that holds the bearings in was twisted and cracked.

No plans at this point... if the weather cooperates I want to ride Saturday, but I'm not holding my breath.

probably don't need to be there too much before 11 - that's when the lift opens.

its about 1.5 hours for me too and this'll be my 4th weekend in a row. yeah, I like it.

keep in mind that I'm new to DH though. experienced riders may find it less challenging than other mountains in the area, but its fast and fun. well worth the $20 lift ticket.

 

[Ian F]

No riding for me.

Sat: day with the g/f
Sun: Waterfest (VW gathering in NJ)

I'll definitely try to squeeze in a road ride during the week before heading out to Whistler on Friday.

 

[MMcG]

Douglas - does your bike need a special hub for the rear? If not, maybe one of my rear wheels would work for the time being.

Looking forward to tonight - picking up my sons after work! Then it should be some fun in the sun tomorrow at the pool - I think. Then DH on Sunday!!!

Last night I went out to a bar/restaurant and an attractive woman walked up to me, squeezed my face, told me I was adorable and then left! What the hell??

Doug - let me know if one of my rear wheels would work for you.
