  3. I tried to contain meself, but I can't. Tonight's boring trivia (is that I tautology? I don't reckon it is, coz I like most trivia. HA):

    Extreme temperature range of inland, subartic land masses. :-)

    Example: Yakutsk, Russia.
    The average max Jan temperature is -35 C, and the average max in Summer is 25.5, which is only 0.4 of a degree cooler than our January, and they're 24 degrees further from the equator.
    Their coldest day on record is -63, and their hottest is 38.4!!!! How the fark does that happen?!

    All I know is that it's got a lot to do with being nowhere near water.

    Do those dates correspond to the testing of the 50 megaton Tsar Bomb? I hear some parts of Russia had a really size able temperature swing that day 😉

    Apparently, at Campagnolo, this man is referred to as "Mr Ghilbli." In recent years he's been the one and only guy to build the disks. When he's sick, there are no Kevlar tension disk wheels made.

  12. Man facebook can be a really downer at times. Its emotional. People like then unlike your posts. That is really hurtful. Also I was riding on my mountain bike today and stopped to check a message. It was an sms from facebook saying I should be celebrating a friends birthday with them. Geez thanks facebook for reminding me im an apparent cnut.

    Where is the love facebook where is the LOVE!!! [IMG]files.cyclingforums.combig smile.png[/IMG]

    Im a massif struggler. Im not even ready to get involved with anyone.

    You must dominate with the ladies (rock star, witty banter) - although I have got a sneaking suspicion that you might pull out the 'lets play weather trivia together' card too soon. I could be wrong. hehe just kidding 😉

    Go to cellular data. TURN OFF THAT STUPID [censored] SHEEEEET AND GET ON WITH YOUR BIKE RIDE.

    When at home, or work. Allow yourself to sink into the mediocre world of two second attention spans and contant searching for gratification through RTs and Likes.

    When you're on the bike. YOU'RE ON THE MOTHERF**KING BIKE. No FB. No emails. No Twitter. Music is acceptable.

    And ride.

    You know it makes sense. Just like lamb. and stuff.

    Jono I love you but this is unrealistic. I have at least five casual girlfriends on the go right now. Its complex and they are all very demanding. There is no [censored] way im going to let a mountain bike ride get in the way of a potential root.

    Tell the moles to send you a text rather than some cheesy private message or FB inbox. Don't let riding get in the way of riding

  17. Who am I kidding. Throw the bikes away and get neck deep in it. Life is short.
