Now all I want to do is ride my singlespeed.... I've ordered parts, which only adds to the longing. Parts are just that, parts. Bits, pieces, components of a whole. Unfortunately bikes are in no way fractal or I could take my new race face cranks for a spin around the block while I waited...

Have fun.... as soon as you can anyway. I'll try and post a good SS Friday night for you to keep you at easy. We should have 2 to 4 inches of snow on the ground and I'm not working! All day on the trails, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!
Peace, Bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world. :-]

Hey Bean! Good to see the golden handcuffs cut you loose for riding now and then! Enjoy the race, and remember your open invitation up north, any time. We're still riding here. Clear and cold, around 45f days. We start snowboarding next Saturday. That's funny about this place. We have at least 4 weeks of overlap.

JD, It just wouldn't be right if I didn't stop and say hello to Mr. JD. We are doing it year round here in Txass, hope you are still getting some time in the saddle.

Hey C! I'm riding more Mtb then ever. Me and Margaret try to trade off with little Bean. Can you believe he is 14 months old already! I'm always looking for a window (possible weekend) to come up and ride that way. I'll be looking real close this spring. Its been raining the past few days here so I've been putting parts on the K2. I should have it pretty much built by the end of the week.
If I can get Anthony to bite on the 12hr. race then I will just go and watch! I'm not into much racing but get caught up in it once in a while. We plan to put on a 6 or 12 hour event at Blora in the spring.

If you can swing it, late June is when we traditionally have the reunion and some pretty grand riding. I'm gonna lobby for Sun Valley/Stanley area for our spring nw epic, which should be *quite* a treat.
I love them Razorbacks. I rode one for a few minutes after a race in Nevada. Loved the handling of it. Shot out like a rocket. And the front & rear shocks had that rare quality of seeming to work together, not against each other. Could almost convert me to double-boinging.

I actually landed a Razorback hardtail. It's as light as a feather. I'm marking my calendar for the end of June and may make a solo trip out that way. I want to climb some real mountains! (I may regret saying dat!)

Awesome. you'll do fine, just the elevation kicks your butt the first hour or two. I ride at 3 to 5k every week, but when I get to 6-9k, it takes a half hour or so so adjust.

Penny, Penny, you're younger than me and I think all the NW epic riders last summer, and better looking, thank God, and a core member of the NW Epic Planning Team. We just have to coordinate it around the Freak's visit to Idaho, which tends to be the last part of June. Sun Valley's higher elevations can still have snow that time, but hopefully we can plan something over there, or even closer to you.

A couple of things: first it's obvious that you aren't keeping up on things around here . Otherwise you might have caught that Cameron said I was " nice as somebody's grandma" (bwahahahaha) As for planning, I've already got it on the books, the hubby's coming along. Boating looks dismal so far for next year so he may either boat or ride, who knows. ( for those of you that are wondering, central Idaho is also a whitewater mecca ) Good hot springs, I may have to bring my dutch over and do dinner for y'all. Of course I know I am younger and better looking than most of (all?)of the team. I look better in lycra too.
