Asheville seems to have a higher cost of living then most of NC. It's amazing how dirty hippies and homosexuals can increase the cost of living in an area. Take Woodstock for instance, the streets are filled with dirty hippies and the shops only sell expensive handmade goods for Thailand.biggins said:

I drove down a few hours before the wedding and left a few hours after waking up on a couch in the hotel lobby with a bridesmaid on my lap.biggins said:
morning folks.
Not quite sure what to think about the new ownership, congrats Gecko for the purchase but that damn toolbar of links is bothering me.
Anyways, I'm leaving to go road riding in probably 15minutes, hopefully put in atleast 30miles. Then after that I'm gonna go dirtjumping and that's as far as I've gotten with my plans. Maybe see a movie, maybe go to lunch with some chicks or something.
Have a good day everybody.

NC coast about 6.5 hours. FL coast 6.5 hours. SC coast i think about 5 hours. mountain bike trails about 5 minutes, rock climbing about 20 minutes, kayaking about 10 minutes and fishing is about 10 minutes.stosh said:
bar-ihave 3 bars within a 3 minute walk of my house as well as a smoothie place, the grocery store, video store and bike shop.
as far as other places to live around here that is still close to asheville check out places like weaverville, waynesville and black mountain. (out of those i would choose black mountain).
Black Mtn... isnt' that where Epic cycles is?biggins said:
Did you hear I'm engaged? I think I'm going to start looking for a place to move to after we get married next summer. I'm f'ing sick of my family and hers, (so is she). I love them both but we need our own life and both our families live way to close.
yup that is where epic is. i see Allan Hightower the owner just about every week. he is a good guy but he does every once in a while grab girls butts but only if he has a had too many beers.stosh said:
did you order that bike from him?
engaged huh?well i guess congrats are in order.
why are you gonna wait a year?i dont understand. as far as the heat goes they said today was gonna be real hot, i think it is supposed to be like 88 degrees or something.
SHUT UP!biggins said:
Did you arrange a ride yet or what? Stop slacking and go ride some single track. I changed my mind, you should pack up and go to Brown Mountain, its not gonna be crowded with ATV's on a Wednesday.
How are the winters? I like a change of season but I hate being inside for to long.biggins said:
Yeah I bought my bike from Epic, I was pretty happy althought I don't think they tightened the wheels like I asked.
Well we want to get married up here and since Aubrey is a teacher she likes to only make "moves" during the summers so she can complete an entire year with her students.
biggins said:
....You mean, there's another way???
if it snows it usually does not hang out longer than 2 days. evrything can be done year round. temps in the winter range from 40-60 degrees for the most part.stosh said:How are the winters? I like a change of season but I hate being inside for to long.

nope tried callin everyone that i have in my phone and there are no takers. as for brown i dont really want to push my bike all day and that is kinda the problem with riding alone. actually it is one of the reasons i am kinda not riding much. but that should be discussed in a new thread all together.
biggins said:
You gonna go ride or start another thread?
Riding alone can suck sometimes, but its Wednesday. Just go pick a trail and ride it. You are So lucky to have all that riding withing 30 minutes of your house. Head over to Brevard or something, if you pedal around the Davidson river campground for 10 minutes I am sure there are some folks from FL looking for a guide.

It is... The job market is a little weak, depending on what you do. However if your soon to be wife is a teacher, she shouldnt have much trouble, and then you can figure it out once you get there.
stosh said:
**AHEM**
I'll talk to my uncle and see if he knows of anything you would be interested in up in that direction.
Morning. I'm at work for a while today on my day off. 6 hours of overtime for me!!! Have a good day all!
Have a good day all!

That is the thing, there isn't much "Industry" in Asheville, believe me I have LOOKED a number of times.
He's doing good. He'll be stoked you asked. His construction company hired my brother for about seven months until they caught him and a few other framers burning a fattie on the jobsite and fired him. They're still friends though, and my brother got another job with a different const. company so I guess all's well that ends well......biggins said:
No one imparticular, I was more making a joke, but you know how it works. I'd bet there is someone from FL up there riding this week.biggins said:
Ya he went to Windrock. I couldnt make that trip. I am going to Mammoth in like 10 days, Loo might meet up. Then I think I am going to try to get to NC in Sept or Oct. to do some riding. I may bring the GFbiggins said:
She does not ride. 
When are you going to Virginia? You know a trip to NC is not complete without having a few beers with Bigginsbiggins said:yes she does..............neaky:
cool, i am going on a vacation in september up to virginia with the family but lemme know when you come up.
stosh said:
ah for sure.... Sorry I was thinking something else when you said drafting. Yes with lots of construction and what not going on up there, you'd probably be pretty set.
i am not sure of the date. however the place where we are going to be has a real ass kicking trail that is a shuttle climb. its called Iron Mountain and i have done most of it from a spot called skulls gap. it is 2 hours from asheville.Mtb_Rob_FL said:When are you going to Virginia?

as for the beer i am sure i can accomodate that.
morning all, took a personal day to do some apartment hunting because it looks like I'm going to have to move out of my house. My roommates are moving out, and my potential replacements are being flaky. Looks like I'm going to be living by myself soon. I love this house, I don't want to move. Oh yeah, got my fork swapped last night, just need to cut the excess steerer tube and its about done.
Poland-that frame looks sweet, but I think you need some yellow to contrast it, either stickers or some yellow components. yellow cranks would look good.
