Naaah, you'd be fine. Just stick to the fundamentals of corner entry and throttle application and you'd be surprised how easy it is to drive, at least at medium speeds (as in the vid.) That Mono...

Common tale. Old as time. Goes like this:

One day (o.k., yesterday) your youngest grom expresses an interest in learning to ski. "No problem!" you blather confidently. "We can do that. We don't...

Great pics -- thanks for sharing 'em.

Really good to see Nick Ham doing well. I used to race against him in historics, and he was my driver coach for a bit as well. It's particularly gratifying...

Cool finish today. DiLuca went berserk on the descent of the Pramartino.

If ever a race could be won by gaining time on balls-out descents, it's the Giro. Salvodelli made the style famous (hang...

Final 3km of Stage 3:

That Tyler Farrar kid's got some jump to him. He damn near closed that gap on Petacchi at the end. If the line had been 10 meters farther he would've bagged...

Ale-Jet must have renewed his EPO prescription.

Let's get the thread rolling for the best stage race of the year.
The prologue kicks off on Saturday (May 9th) on the only chunk of dry land in Venice.


Daily Coverage + Key Links:
Live TV:...

Certainly a cool story, but I dunno, part of me is kinda bummed. Does getting an answer to these sorts of mysteries remove the mystique?

It'd be like finding D.B. Cooper's tattered monkey suit in...

Awesome pics.

One question: how did you find the road traffic to be in the Lago Como/Lombardy area?

I've been considering a three week cycling trips in that region, but have been put off...

Hmmm. In that case, you must be considering a job at Gordo's MuuMuu Factory. :(

Attivo's, at 9th and Lincoln, in the shadow of Denver's worst monument of Nassitecture.
Get the Balboa sub, with extra peppers and extra meat, hell, extra everything.
Accept no substitutes....

Any old bullwheel-dropping Yan.

Sorry to be late to the party, but as I'm a commercial RE developer, I should probably chime in.

LEED, frankly, ended up pissing me off. I have essentially given up on it. It's become a checklist...

I guess I just remember odd details.

Actually, I haven't been around TGR for a few years -- I'm trying to catch up a bit and figure out what's happened (and who the hell all these new posters...

Er, I could be wrong, but I seem to recall a story on the old Powmag forum (Tales from the Hood?) about you making a left turn on red, outrunning the cop who suddenly appeared, and later being...

It could just be that she's not as sensitive to sounds or aural inputs as a way of waking up.

Get her a vibrator. Seriously:

No dice, toots. Sorry.
As my post above yours indicates, I sold them as of 3/30.

However, you might check with Jibij, as he had some for sale:...

^ Right. Lelouch was the driver (not Jacques Laffite or any F1 driver as oft rumored) and used his 6.9 Mercedes as the film car. He did own a 275GTB at the time, though, and dubbed in the soundtrack...

22 views?
That's gotta be the lowest view count of any TGR post in history.
I henceforth award this post a celebratory bump.

C'mon, somebody must need these...


Edit: Sold.

If it's still open to the public, take a half day to go see the Rosso Bianco car museum.
Pretty close to Frankfurt -- it's in Aschaffenburg, I think.
I've yet to visit, myself, but friends tell me...

Finally? Way back in the 1990s, before Bil Keane got all litigious 'n shit, there was a site called Dysfunctional Family Circus. Kind of like what Irul posted.

One 4-pack of Loveland lift tickets for sale.
$90 for all four.
Cash only.
Must pick them up in person (I'm located in central Denver).

Post here (or shoot me a PM) if you are interesting.

Best local triathlon club I can think of off the top of my head is Mammoth Multisport, a store off County Line and Holly, but they might have folded. In addition to having a social/training network...

I'm an asshole.

I'd always suspected I had a mean streak in there somewhere. And coming back from the Kinko's at 12:45 AM, while the city sleeps and I'm still scowling from my deus-ex-machina...

Go for it.

Fun cars. I really miss mine. 187k isn't worth worrying about; condition is.

If it starts having mechanical issues, but the unibody is sound, and the entire thing is more-or-less...

I'm thinking that the biggest way to save weight on a multisport trip is to eliminate a pair of footwear. One less pair of boots to haul around with you, especially ski boots, easily equals the...

I've heard of a shop in Salida that does ski boot resoling. Pretty sure they deal within the realm of Vibram-soled boots (e.g., AT and tele) only, but it might be worth calling them. They are...

Strangelove is great, but I've gotta toss out a nod for Sellers' other political parable, Being There. It's a bit more sly than Strangelove, but the satire is equally sharp. I think the themes are...

This morning while in line at the local non-Starbuckian java place, the lady in front of me ordered a Cafe au Lait, hold the milk.

Everybody in earshot kinda stopped to consider that one.

My vote is for a set of good handbuilt wheels. Way better ride quality than Ksyriums and their ilk, just about as light, more durable, and a lot more true-able and rebuildable over the long run.

I think Iceman's daughter posted. Once.

Still available! Price lowered to $325.

Hey, homerjay:

I will probably be working a table at VeloSwap on Friday as well as Saturday. If you want, I could check your fit on whatever bike you're looking at buying. Wheel your bike over...

Nah. They just give it to Tyler Hamilton.

Looks like I'm in. Tavern 13 at 6:30, check.



No problem - I'll be heading out from the downtown area. Shoot me a PM with your location, phone numma, etc., and I'll clear all the Whopper...

I can picture and hear this:

Eerie and quiet, shot in black and white, with a grainy look, and in low contrast. Skier's head disappears and reappears beneath a washing white current (it's a deep...

I've gone the single ring route. I used a Third Eye chain-watcher on the inside ($10) and a chainring guard in place of the big chainring ($25). Works like it's, uh, single-minded in purpose. ...

Edgeworks, at 9th and Broadway.

How's this for a weird-yet-predictable coincidence: Danny Gatton was once Roy Buchanan's roommate.

Good calls so far (can't believe I got beaten to the mention of Jesse Ed Davis!).

Gotta add...

B-

I might have the perfect setup for you -- might also be willing to sell it. Shoot me a PM if interested...

Another option: if you can hold out until the 3rd week of October, you should hit...

Maybe Kachess Lake area? All I can think of is logging roads and maybe some skiable clearcut zones. I think you're right about skiworthy terrain and snowmobile access being more or less mutually...

I like the Deliverance guess, but the cars look too recent for that.

Maybe "Without a Paddle?"

'Twas filmed in New Zealand, I think.


[edit] quick web search gives ammo for the argument......

Glad to hear you like, Woods!

No need to do a reciprocal burn -- music means a lot to me, and shit, I'm just happy to spread it around...

Since you're an E30 fan, why not an E30 325iX with a good roof rack and rocket box? A set of Haakapelittas and you'd laugh at winter. You would also clean up at the local BMWCCA ice autocross they...

FYI:

This might be a bad weekend for Palmer, as the parking lot is the starting area for the Hood to Coast running race that starts today (Friday). Not sure just how badly it will be mobbed...

Can you just use a cheap mag-trainer and mount your Serotta on it?

That would be the cheapest way to spin indoors, since its maybe $160 or so for a Tacx or something, but I guess that doesn't...
