what size do you need and are there any specifics about what you want component wise?
Well, I am pretty short (5'4") and I have tried a 50 Specialized Allez, a 48 Dolce (that I thought might need a longer stem) and I was told that I would ride about a 49-50 in Bianchi or C-dale by my LBS. I really am looking for something aluminum with a carbon fork, hopefully 105 components too.

the section we are cutting now will probably take you around the 1/2 mile of double track and add 3-4 miles of super flowing single track with sections of technicals and stunts. (lots of stunts planned too)
just curious what sort of planning/approval you needed for the stunts.

all of the stunts in the trail are elevated bridges etc to avoid problem areas, and to make sure the trail is sustainable. Anything more than that is off trail, and is all stuff we have planned for the future once we get the trail worked in. I am involved with the local Imba, and trail advocacy group so as far as the approval, I will work with the rest of the Trail advocates, and Andy (the head of county parks maintanance etc) who is also a gravity junky to get approval. as long as they are going to be off trail and marked ride at your own risk etc with all of the tech jargon, we should be able to build some cool stuff!

I have to figure out exactly what I want to do first and I don't need to do anything right away, just considering other things.

Maybe I should follow the trend and just go work at my LBS.

Hope you have a good one because you seem far too intelligent to work at most LBS's I've seen.:)

Morning all,

I've got another day off before I have to return to work, so I might go and get a ride in. Probably a good thing since the temps have skyrocketed in the last week. Better to ride now and get acclimated than wait for a ride with the hammerheads.

b-man, sounds great!! definitely have manhattan drag his camera so we can see how these things come out.

i had a fairly hohum night last night, but did get out to play w/ kids for a bit (first made a 'pirate ship' in the basement, out of scraps of wood and some screws. you *really* have to use yr imagination...). then we went outside (damn was it cold) and played with the t-ball stand for a while, until otis crushed it w/ the bat.

watched big papi ruin the yanks w/ the big HR; that was nice.

Hope she has a good check-up. More shots? I am not looking forward to that again, but I know she needs them. Have a safe trip.
11 1/2 lbs and 23 1/4" tall. She got 4 shots, which she screamed about, but I quickly swept her up and took her outside for a little walk. She settled right down. Dr Baltran said she looks really good, and it's time for solid foods. :eek: Already. Yikes.

Time accelerates oddly when you have children...... are you getting fatter & balder too?
Just fatter, but hopefully in the next few weeks that will all change with a renewed enery. :thumb: Just waiting on the accountant to sign off on funds.

:fingers crossed:

Good morning all,

Finally fixed the flat on the road bike (3 tubes later) and got in a ride around the neighborhood both last night and this morning before work. Felt good to go fast.

First 100 degree day here in Phoenix, summer starts now...

YEAH!!!! I would guess that Syd is about the same. Her 4th month appointment is on the 19th. "Solid foods" -- did they recommend anything in particular?

Cereal with breast milk first. Then yellow veggies (ie carrots, squash), then greens (ie peas, green beans), last fruit. He mentioned a few days on each first. This is getting scary.

Good luck, mate. Although I have no idea what "enery" is...... :think:

Is it like an enema? :eek:
It said energy. Someone must have edited my post to make me look careless. :D

Yup! That seems like what I have been hearing too. They recommed fruits last (according to my Dr.) because they are naturally sweeter and the babies tend to like them better and won't want to eat veggies if they are introduced later. I am looking forward to Syd having some solid foods. She's already showing interest in what we're doing when we're eating so I think she's getting ready for something new. Keep us posted on how she's doing. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of her spitting strained peas all over ;)
