  1. Sike! What's that? RR use to mean Ride Report. This time it means
    Reading Report.

    I've been riding and will report on a very enlightening reason why SS
    is right for me.....AND SHOULD BE FOR YOU ALSO! Ha! I still haven't
    lost my preaching ability.

    Anyway check out these interesting articles

    Carbs are your friends...as if you didn't already know

    High Price Roadie BvllSh!t
    http://www.active.com/story.cfm?story_id=10575&sidebar=640&category=gearguide_cycling

    I especially liked the part about bunny hopping a crash. Of course
    this couldn't have been done on any other sub $7k bike.....Jeeze,
    roadies buy into the marketing [censored] also.

    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.

    I'm still puzzling over the "Microsoft vs. Oracle" part. Does Oracle do an OS
    these days? Is it big enough to fight M'Soft over?

    ;-?

    What? Have you never heard of the massive "Microsoft vs. Oracle" debate? 🙂

    The only thing I could think of was MS SQL v Oracle, however, I think the
    author's just not very bright (Californian?) and has confused Oracle with
    *nix.

    What a [censored] joke. I just read a study that people who eat primarily
    protein are fat, and those who eat primarily complex carbohydrates are thin.

    Are us Americans the most gullible, marketing-susceptible morons on the
    planet?

    Just goes to show you how much idiots talk out of their @sses!

    Microsoft vs Oracle hmmmm I guess that would be analogous to Sony vs
    Ford.

    Of course at best he may have been referring to MS SQL server. In
    which case he would be an utter an complete moron if he thinks MS SQL
    server is comparable to Oracle's database product.... But wait, he
    already is an utter and complete moron.....hmmmm?

    Peace,

    Yes, but c'mon comparing MS SQL Server to Oracle is like comparing JD
    to Scottskie or whatever that "Whack Jobs" name is....I leave it to
    you to figure out who the Oracle is.

    planet?

    I'm beginning to think so. I'm probably 60 to 70 percent carbs 40 to
    30 percent protein in dietary terms. At 170 if I flipped and did 60
    to 70 percent protein and 40 to 30 carbs I'd probably be 200 lbs with
    not enough energy to get up the stairs.

    Of course there are NUMEROUS other factors involved beside just
    percentages of carbs vs proteins. See "Nutrition For Endurance
    Athletes" by Dr. Monique Ryan.

    You actually want us to answer that? 🙂
