How is everybody today?

Went on a nice road ride last night with my GF's dad. Man it's amazing how much more well suited a road bike is for the road than a hardtail.


I'm hoping to ride today depending on the weather. I got my bike and gear here at work so and I'm pretty psyched to hit the trails after work.

Have a great day!

Hello.

I have some dinner thing with my coworkers tonight, so no post-work ride or workout for me.

We took our pup to day one of obedience training last night. She is going to fail. It's not that she does anything bad, I just can't see her listening to us.

Mornin Stosh.

Truck is in the shop for the day, so I've got my wife's car. I hate cars... trucks are so much better.

I hope to get back on the bike this weekend, but we'll see... I'm eyeballing a 50mile (or so) road ride.

You gonna sell the truck?

 

[jacksonpt]

You gonna sell the truck?

dunno... I want to, but probably shouldn't. The though of going from one car payment (my wife's) to 2 is pretty crappy.

Morning! I'm doing laundry and debating making a good breakfast for myself. I am supposed to take my little brother to the Great Escape today but it's looking a bit gray outside We'll go anyway I am sure and if it rains we'll call it a day. I have to finish the father-in-law's b-day cake too so far it's baked (2 layer triple chocolate fudge cake) with a chocolate butter cream filling. Then I am going to frost it with a lighter chocolate whipped cream frosting and coat it with some bittersweet chocolate shavings too Can you tell how much the man loves chocolate? :devil:

I may even try to get a short ride in when Sq-Earl gets home from work.

yeah thats true!

Aubrey and I would kill for only one car payment. Problem is we both love the vehicles we own.

My mom likes German Chocolate cake, ever made that? Thats pretty good but it's hard to make IMO.

I have tomorrow off!!!

leaving at noonish for pats peak (in NH) I will be racing the 24 hours of pats peak - 4 person expert class. Total last minute decision to do this, team name = ? race order = ?

I'm riding over in the Plaines & sons (bike shop) truck/trailer which is cool being I dont have to worry about driving myself home after the race

 

[McGRP01]

Ugggg! I hurt today. To much drinky last night. Had a pretty good day yesterday. Got home last night and my in-laws called and took me and the kid out to dinner at Uno's, so that was cool. After dinner I worked on my resume and sent that off to a few people. Then watched yesterdays TdF stage on OLN with my daughter and had a few beers. Guess who she was cheering for?

It is good, but a little finicky to make. He specifically requested chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and any other chocolate that I could fit in there LOL...I guess I have done it. Oh and I put a layer of mini chocolate chips on top of the filling before I put the top layer on.

Morning all. Went on one of my night rides yesterday. The past couple of times I've gone I'll climb up high enough to get a vie wof the town and the ocean, but it's always been foggy. I couldn't see a damn thing. Did see a deer though. Oh, and the highlight of the ride was getting a flat tire. I ran over a giant nail!! It stuck in the tire and went around for a couple passes at gouging my frame. Nice!

What kind of road bike do you have? I've been thinking about getting one, but I don't have a lot to spend right now and I don't know much about them.

It's been o.k. Lots of overcast days here midcoast. You posted about going to Freeport one day. You should bring your bike that day. I've got a decent ride near there. Could be like a weekday evening ride...

Morning.

Did a little gravel road riding last night, but the ar's being cranky. About to replace the '01 Z1 fork on the Joker with an '03 Manitou Answer Minute 2.

 

[JRB]

Good morning.

 

[bluebug32]

Hey everyone. I had a great ride last night. My strength is finally starting to come back. I was able to power up some steep inclines and get my speed up on in the really technical places of the trail. Soon I'll be ready for another Stosh ride!

It's great to see so many people watching the Tour. Yesterday I went home for lunch and found myself in front of the tv until stage 11 was done. I looked up and saw that I had just taken over a 2 hour lunch break! This seems like the start of a bad habit, but I'm definitely going to do it again today...

 

[Crazy Sweeper]

morning all. Got my buddy to buy his first mtb last night, then I took him on a little ride. Got my final for western civ at the community college tonight. Can't wait until this class is over, then I'll finally be able to ride whenever I want again. 8 days to monkeyfest.

Nice! I used to spend a lot of time there when I was in high school. Very cool place.

Good morning folks.

Got up around 9, listening to O&A, and cleaning up the apartment a bit. I think most of today will consist of playing Warcraft 3 and packing/cleaning to head back to Poughkeepsie tonight.

Hoping to ride tomorrow.

When mountain biking yesterday evening in the rain. It's been so dry lately that an hour of rain didn't even get the trail wet.
