'Morning, monkeys. We "celebrated" Easter with my family yesterday. I just go for the food and company. I went to the gym a couple of times this weekend and got out for a road ride Saturday. I weighed in at 180 this morning. I need to lose some poundage.

Morning! Had a great long weekend. It was, of course, beautiful and sunny, so I went to the park, and went swimming in our pool. 
Also went out with a bunch of coworkers for a very fun night at the bar. Had a nice dinner last night and am looking forward to my upcoming vacation (Bermuda on Saturday)! Enjoy, all!

Hello all. Got what I thought was a long ride in yesterday at 909 in Pleasant Valley, NY on the way to the relative's Easter Pig Out. Turned out to have been only an hour and a half...Made up for it by grossly stuffing myself with everything in sight and killing one of those Heineken mini kegs (along with my 250+++ lb. bro in laws). Made it up to 190 after the meal... That extra ballast should help me immensely at the 1st Plattekill DH event oin a few weeks! HA!
Gonna do some quick XC and dirt jumping after work (off early!) to further damage my tennis elbow then I'm outta here for a week or so taking the moms to FL. to visit relatives.

Oh, I have a 10:30 appointment this morning to give blood. I do it for the free coffee and muffins. 
Morning. Weekend was meh... Had a good day Sat.. It was sunny and around 70. Went over to my bro-in-law's house, grilled some venison, drank some beers, played with the kids... A good time was had! Yesterday was ok...I guess. I'm not big on family get togethers...not when my parents are invited anyway. Long story, but suffice it to say that Easter dinner was kinda a bust. Oh well....
Have a good Monday all!!

Had a great weekend, took a half day Friday, Deyv and Isa arrived about 3:00, then Friday night we went to Tweek's house and enjoyed much excellent beer with Tweek, Crashby, Instigator and fiancee, and Sq-earl and Treesaw and their n00b.
Saturday we did an XC ride and with a huge group, me and Deyv were the injured slow guys, stuntmatty and Sorgie came along too. Saturday night was more tasty beer at my place where an alarming number of cool people came to see a presentation of pictures and stories from Deyv and Isa's one year mountain bike vaction around the world.
Sunday was another XC ride with Tweek, Deyv and Isa, and then finally my parents came over for some Easter grub. Weather was awesome and the company was even better... life is good

Good morning,
Spent a nice Easter with close family friends.
I drove with him back to Buffalo in 1992 to pick up a 58 Panhead. Now all these years later the product is just about finished.

Friday night I went to see "the devil and David Johnston" with my girl and some friends. Very good biography. If you are at all familiar with him or into the early indie/alternative music scene you might like it. I haven't seen many films lately that can elicit a strong emotional response from the audience, let alone a low budget biography.
Saturday; dig,ride,jump,ride ...
Sunday; Easter brunch at a fantastic Persian/Mediterainian restaurant and an afternoon of truing wheels and loafing while it poured rain outside all day and night.
Have a great day everybody.

i am not a cycle buff, but that looks pretty sharp. well done.
great weekend here...didn't do much sat as we had to get ready to head down to Falmouth, where we spent easter weekend w/ my dad and family.
played in the park:
drove to the beach for the sunset:
did the egg hunt:
went back to the beach:
went for a 5 mile run, and then stuffed my face with:
ham
tarragon/garlic marinated, butterflied and grilled leg of lamb
scalloped potatoes and ionions
green beans
grilled asparagus
mashed sweet potatoes
washed it down w/ an excellent aussie shiraz and so-so chilean cab.
and managed to reinstall the OS on my dad's PC, so hopefully i won't get any more late night calls for tech support.
good weekend!!

'morning. Had a nice weekend - spent much of it outside in the sun. Excellent Easter dinner cooked last night by Jenn - some pretty amazing marinated catfish.
Looking forward to the end of the week when I get to go to Bermuda!

Had an excellent weekend. Ride Friday was awesome. Jeremy R was spot on with his Bent Creek trail. Of course no pics. Had Bridges 'Q on the way home which always makes me happy.
Saturday worked in the yard all morning. Willow figured out how to use the hose and spray daddy with it, which brought her great joy. Two times she totally snuck up behind me and got me. She's like a little ninja. Got a nice long slow road ride in the afternoon with some buds. 3 hours just at 50 miles for me. Then my mom's B-day party, which was a good time.
Went to church yesterday with the family. Fixed Easter dinner. Then went for a mountain bike ride in the afternoon.

The first ~3 years in college I didn't really care what the beer was. Then I discovered this and was never really the same:narlus said:

Had my first race of the year Saturday. It was a complete clusterfvck. The race was delayed an hour to wait for some pros to show up. Isn't part of being a proffesional being on time? It was a hot day 85 and sunny with little shade as most trees are still leafless. The extra hour waiting in the heat drained my energy and started things off a little dehydrated and under nourished. I had a bad start and never felt good. I managed a rumoured 7th place finish. A lot of people must have dropped out as I never really passed anyone.
morning all you Monkeys
I am off today, and have been helping clean the house after we had my inlaws over for Easter brunch.
Went on a ride with Manhattanprjkt, Pallila, and a bunch of non-monkeys. I posted a ride report with pics in the "RIDE REPORT" section titled Yeti sighting. The weather was awesome, but as was the case with Westy, it was hot out, I drank 100oz of water/gatorade mixed and still lost 5.2lbs. I bonked so bad I had to sit trailside and eat clifbars and GU to stop from trembling, and just to make it back to the car.
well I hear Emma crying so I have to check out what she is in trouble for

I discovered in yesterdays race my little chain ring is toast, I dont think I can go 2 weeks without breaking/wearing out/tearing something
Morning all! Nothing too exicting to report. My wife and I cleaned house on Saturday. The weather was real nice so we washed all our winter blankets and hung them out in the yard to dry and then put clean sheets on the bed. Simple pleasures.
After that was finished we did a 25 mile tour d'Annapolis with my wife's aunt's sister (WAS). My wife was on her cross bike, WAS was on a road bike and I was riding a MTB. Riding that far on the road with two people on road bikes while you are on a MTB is punishing. I managed to keep up pretty well.
Sunday we went for a hike and came home and made Easter dinner. I smoked a pork shoulder, and my wife made dill / sour cream mashed potatoes, carrots, string beans and a coconut cream cake. Mmmm Mmmm good.

an hour? I can see 5 minutes..but an hour seems like BS to me.
Having Jeriamiah Bishop and Sue Haywood show up to a dinky local race is cool but they know the start time as well as everyone else. I'm slightly bitter too because of the combined pro/ex category not only did everyone have to wait around but the odds were stacked against us mortals from making a podium.douglas said:
Good Morning Stosh!
Saturday we took advantage of the rainfall and did some trail maintenance and riding.
The view as we headed to our local riding spot
Orven testing the new jump
Working out the kinks
Me trying to run Orven over
Yesterday just bummed around, went to the swap meet, had some crepes, and just chilled. Tonight I'm going to try and convince Orvs he really wants to play tennis.
Have a good day!
