yup - it started last Saturday when I found out my wife is pregnant.PonySoldier said:and the WeedEater...Rough Week Yo
yeah... that would have been fun... I'll try to get in touch with my friends and hopefully they can point you towards a ride or two... Or since I'm sitting here at my desk twiddling my thumbs, I'll see if I can come up with some sort of ride sheet for ya.stosh said:
If'n ya singlespeeded a full suspension without a chain tensioner every time you hit a bump the chain put large amounts of force on your hub, cassette and crank rings. That is probably why the ring died. I destroyed a King freehub that way once upon a time.stosh said:

Good morning.
g'mornin. My weekend was pretty good. Hung out w/ the GF all weekend and had a blast. Twas my b-day yesterday so she suprised me with some paintballing....paintballing ruled until they made me run the gauntlet which would have been fine, but the guy that was working pulled out his crazy assed gun and shot the sh!t out of me. I have about 35-40 welts that I acquired in about 3.23 seconds from one gun. Coming to work today sucked...as will hockey tonight.
Something most peculiar happened on Sat. I came home from running some errands to find my neighbor, whom I don't even know his name, mowing my lawn. He pulls up along side my truck on his riding mower and says he finished his lawn and enjoyed the extra time on the mower. It looked to be his new toy (shiny new John Deere - he even had a new Deere hat on). This was a pretty nice thing for him to do. I have been pushing my mower around essentially one armed, as I had a rough OTB crash early last week.
So.. We would like to get a gift for the neighbor, but not shure what to get. First thought was a bottle of wine, but is that a good idea? Maybe he or his wife don't drink.

Howdy all!
I just got back last night from a kickass weekend at Angelfire New Mexico for the Chile Challenge (part of mountain states cup). Pulled in Friday night excited for some racing action. The courses there are the same as the upcoming UCI WorldCup that's gonna be there in July. Definitely some technical stuff as well as some....interesting stuff. My DH run completely sucked and the people I passed always let me pass in horrible areas and with one crash I didn't end up too well, but it was fun. Here's a link to my full writeup that is posted on mtbr (soon to be here on the DH board). It was cool meeting Alex and Seth from bcd as well as Sherpa, biker3, and of course the not so sufferring cripple Full Trucker.

Uhg....Good Morning 
I dislike late Sunday night soccer games
Weekend was overall a good one.
Saturday:Took a few truck loads of crap to the dump. Then took my new bike out for some DH runs on the local trails....it kicked ass
Sunday: slept in Met Oly and Skookum for a noon time trail ride and became one with the neadles :angry: Soccer late Sunday night. We won 4-0, but I'm beat this morning!

Good Morning all. Not a bad weekend here. I got some road miles in on Saturday a.m. then went furniture shopping with my wife. I hate shopping, but I felt like I owed her for all the bikey time I've been getting lately. Plus I ended up with a kick-ass cutting board that will love my Wusthofs PROPER!
Sunday was my anniversary. I don't know what's weirder: that I've been married a year, that I've been with her for 6 years, or that I remembered and she didn't.
Ooh, I also picked up the ingredients to brew up a Belgian-style wit (white ale). I'm still waiting for carbonation to come up in the porter, but hopefully I'll have a bit of both to share at M-fest.

Good story about giving wine as a gift that my boss told me. His wife recently went out and bought a brand new Volkswagon Bug. He told her to bring along a bottle of wine for the man who sold it to her, and one for the man who is doing all of the paperwork. So she brings them each a bottle of wine. A few days later she returns to have a CD player put in. She asks for the man who sold her the car to see how he is doing, and is told that he is no longer with the company. When she asked why, she was told, "We had to release him. He was an alcoholic."
Yeah. I wouldn't want a bad scenario to play out if alcohol is a no-go next door.Polandspring88 said:

New Mexico roxors!!!
Loco seems to be taking that a lot harder than me. I just hope they will sell me a new damper and not make me send the fork to them to get it.loco said:I broke the damper cartridge on Wumpus' Z150 FR last night.I torqued too much, which didn't seem like much, but it broke none the less.
Congratulations!loco said:
I hope this is something you both wanted.

Morning! (It's still morning right?) Weekend was good! Ran a 5k on Sat. and came in 5th in my class finishing with a 00:25:58. I wasn't thrilled, but it was good just to get out there and compete. Raced in my first DH race yesterday at Plattekill. What a time!!! From just watching how SICK the pros and experts were, to meeting TONS of new people, to feeling the nerves of standing in the starting gate!! It was awesome! And I think I'm hooked!!! :devil: Ran in the Beginner Master 30+ class, and managed to podium in my first race!! Got 3rd (out of all 6 of us!! ) Can;t wait for the next race!!!
Me coming off the ladder drop near the finish
The SWEET taste of success!!

Good Morning Stosh!
This weekend was the California State DH championship. I had a great time and made it through both of my race runs without crashing, and ended up with the win.

Orven popped his shoulder out during Saturday practice, but still managed to pull fifth place yesterday
Good times were had by all! Have a good day!

yeah - I complain a little, but that's just me. I am pretty excited. Julie is not excited about being sick. I think she is working on feeling better though. I have a good friend that I ride with that is having a baby within a couple of weeks of me. That will make it a little cooler.TreeSaw said:Congratulations!
Way to go Heather!!!! Wooo Hooo for you!!!
Thanks IAB!!! In the bag... Powerade, an EMS water bottle, bunch of stickers and patches, 40% off coupon for Azonic/O'Neal/Blur Optics, a bunch of white lightening lube and cleaner. Not a bad haul for an old fart!I Are Baboon said:Kick ass! Congratulations!!

I swam a mile Friday, Saturday and Sunday. My shoulders are a tad sore this morning. Good news, I was able to kick for most of the time Sat and Sunday. I just supplemented here and there with a leg buoy to keep my knee from moving. In no time at all I'll be back riding.

Why not have them over for a little BBQ one night? That is, if you cared to hang out with them at all and put in the effort. You can have beer/wine and they can have whatever they want...ROCKLAND said:
