Hoping to get some good riding in this week; IAB, MMcG? What do you guys say, I'll meet you guys up there somewhere if you want.
YOu should have hooked up with Jozz and Tartosuc when you were in Montreal.

I have to get my knee checked out by a Doctor - it still hurts - hopefully I can get in soon.

maybe I'll be able to find a place that's not too far for any of us to drive. I know a bunch of raggers have been riding. I've been riding a couple places on the coast, but you guys work way more than me so I wouldn't want you to have to drive so far

Not really, I had heard it was silly and I had seen a few still pics, but I had no idea what it was about. Actually I still have no idea what it was about :D
The best advice I had before watching the movie is to not expect anything.

Did ya like the dance at the end?

Mornin monkeys. While sitting around this weekend with a cold, pondering who I shall oppress this week, I watched Napoleon Dynamite. While it was quite possibly the dumbest movie I have ever seen, I think I actually liked it :p

dumber than white castle?


I also watched Napoleon Dynamite, I was really surprised people made a big deal about it.

Yeah - the Hayes will work fine with the Manitou Post mount system.

Stosh - were both rotors missing or just one?

Just one.

The hosing was a little long but I think I can find clean ways of taking up the slack.

Good Morning All

I went riding Saturday on my mtb for the first time in a couple months. I've been working on rehabbing my knee on my road bike since it's a more consistent spin. It felt so incredibly good to be back on dirt, climbing singletrack, leaning into corners, surfing through the mud...AHHHHH!

A little long is better than a little short.

Will an Avid Rotor work with Hayes calipers? If so, I can send you an Avid one.

Wow Splat! The pumping water thing doesn't sound like too much fun at all...do you live near a river or in a lowland or something?


Not fun at all ! , there is a drainage creek that runs next to my house, and some swamp land behind it and a High water table , then add 3 inches of rain on Monday , melting 7 inches of snow, then add another couple of inches of rain Saturday and the ground just can't hold the water any more ! and I have a french drain under the house ( that drains into the creek) but it looks like the pipe has collapsed , so I wind up with water in the basement , not alot just enoiugh to be a Pain. I know IF_rider was also Pumping water too. and riding around town I saw lots of house with Houses draining water into the street.
