gimbel's ride 2007.12.30
i am not sure what the split was but most people decided to go long today. up through the ‘steps’ and the 172 climb, it was nothing but good times. the pack was full on long/slow winter miles mode and jordan & co. did a fantastic pace-setting job to keep the group together. i was told the pace in the second half of the ride was actually faster than it’s been for the last few...
how to blackmail jesse to score a new pinarello...
jesse: I wanted to ask you, I never did. I posted your bike on my site. I hope you do not mind. I want to profile local rider's bikes and I have a picture of your 585. Anyway if you dont want it up I will take it down.
sox: you will hear from my lawyer soon - unless of course you decide to bribe me first. i accept all forms of bribery but have a particular taste for anything that starts with "pinarello" and ends with "prince".
bitter christmas to y'all
otto: Sox, Where were you this morning? We had good weather and a nice ride. Would you believe Mike Stier was there? First time in four months and you missed it. If you're still off we will be riding from L&T on Thursday. Merry Christmas.
sox: my heater decided to wait until christmas eve 11pm to die on me. i think i made about 50,000 calls in the last 24 hours. finally i have a guy here now fixing the motor - a temporary measure till this saturday when he will install a new heater and i will cut a check for $5,800. i must've been a really naughty boy this year. how was the ride? did you neutralize the sprints in honor of my memory? ps - stier who? that boy's strayed away from us. i blame it on the wine and the crazy devil music he plays.
“i saw will doing a no-hand track stand on his road bike today. not easy but not...”
