In. Going for the Giro-Tour double. I think my macro-dosing of IPA is going to make it possible.

I don't doubt you're right, ferniebiker.

The lack of heat is a real letdown for an otherwise nice hut in a great location. The voc wiki mentions recent deliberations on adding a stove. One of the listed concerns is whether people would be...

Good info, thanks. I cooked mine in a standard oven, heated to 230 and shut off, for about 8 minutes. I was thinking I could have gone longer because they weren't as puffy as I expected, but probably...

How did it it work out? Getting ready to cook the liners for my Lights. Good following the Intuition thread recs?

Maybe this was already posted, but there are some relevant numbers in a blog on The Economist's site: http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2012/11/legalising-marijuana

Great colors in the N. Cascades last weekend. A good photographer would have had a field day.

i like the edit. looks like a fun place to ride.

beerpower ready to roll. Am I the only team without wiggo?

Your only way to secure your internet connection is with a third party vpn service. You would run the vpn client locally on your computer and all traffic across the wi-fi network would be encrypted...

The dude cheated and now he's been caught. What's the problem? This is exactly the type of thing that will clean up professional cycling.

The 2011 Tour and 2012 Giro were the best grand tours...

Basically you've got something running on your computer that is impeding normal DNS resolution and telling your browser the incorrect IP for well known sites in order to route traffic to a particular...

hey jondrums, any idea when you'll be getting more inserts in stock?

Been using a set with the same attachment for three years with no problems. Glue is great and I haven't had any of the glopping I got with my Ascensions after two years.

You definitely want to...

x2. Using the Costco pricing definitely saves some of the hassle.

Instead of three days at Crystal, you might want to consider hitting Stevens on the 20th.

Sysinternals utilities from msft will tell you everything about the processes running on your machine and what they are doing(procmon, procexp). For slow startup or logon try the autoruns utility to...

Cancellara can't seem to ride people off his wheel like he did in 2010 and Boonen showed in GW he's got the better team and tactics. I'd be willing to bet Sagan is going to win several of the...

Was wondering the same thing. Strange there is only the blurb on the NWAC forecast and no media coverage.

Thanks. That's on a trail called Xanadu just past Peshastin. Das Rad Haus in Leavenworth has maps.

A couple weeks ago near Leavenworth.

I don't have anything to add about the DUI, but like YetiMan said having your shit together when you cross the border makes a huge difference. I cross pretty frequently in Blaine and they seem to...

Did you go with the ZTR Arch Stock Wheelset? What do you think so far? I've got a heavy set of Bontragers that I'm looking to replace.

Thanks for the info.

Would anyone be willing to recommend good car camping spots for Squamish and Pemberton in late August that would server as a good base camp for riding the local trails. It looks like there are a...

An employee of Bicycles West recently told me they have a pretty good sized demo fleet of Treks. I think their Tukwila location would close.

Great race. I look forward to the post race comments about the tactics in the last 40k.

Ballan might have a lot on his mind. Or who knows, he could be super motivated with the possibility of not racing again for a while.

I'd like to see Geraint Thomas take it. If he and Flecha are...

I would definitely prefer to see Hushovd take it rather than Boonen or Cancellara.

I'm guessing they don't thank you when you try to take their pass. Like DBS said, I'm surprised you haven't encountered some serious conflicts or people just refusing to hand over their pass. Those...

After about a month on the Maestrales I've come to the conclusion they can handle a much bigger ski than my old Megarides could. I'm thinking the K2 Hardside will be a good pairing for pnw touring. ...

Where's the love for Stevens on the Snow Lab? Should be at the top of the list today.

+1

I'm having a hard time thinking of any Seattle area shops that don't go out of their way to make sure their customers are satisfied. But if they don't, I'd like to know for future reference...

Hopefully enough to indict him.

Thanks. I've tried the stores on the Westcomb site locator, but no luck.

Looks like they've change the strap and buckle that runs across the ankle. Was that just a weight savings change or is there some durability issue I should watch out for on my Maestrales?

That looks like a damn nice setup. I'm interested in the Vapor FX pants, but would like to try them on before I buy and none of the Seattle area retailers have them in. Anyone seen them at any...

I haven't used their fabric backed gloves, but dampness hasn't been a problem for me with the pigskin backed ones.

The filter subscription on my computer was removed by an update yesterday. You probably just need to add a new subscription:

Ah, got it. Looks like there is a track heading straight up to the nose in your picture, too. I've heard that track referred to as the "Seattleite skin track" and claims that it only happens early...

what's the problem with the snowboarders? or is that line their up track?

Citrus solvent and steel wool. Lower should be clean and dry. I wouldn't use lube.

Scuttlebutt 10 Below is another good one. Not sure what their distribution is like outside of WA, though. If you're in Everett, they have $2 pint happy hour at their pub.

Anyone ridden Galby in the past few days? I'm planning on riding Thursday if the trails are in decent shape. If they're a sloppy mess I'll skip it. I mostly stick to the XC stuff.
