    I am pretty "Gravitational Challenged" also. Look for me.
    I will be wearing a jersey with a picture of the monument
    on it. On a blue cannondale prophet.

    The Colo National Monument? Where'd you get it?

    So, I take it you live over in Grand Junkyard. I hope to be
    getting over that way to ride sometime this month. I'll let
    you know if that comes to pass. Maybe we can ride.

    Grand Malfunction. They are cleaning up the 5th street bridge area to make
    way for the new parkway. Soon the 29 rd bridge will be open, and there will
    be another way to get accross the river.

    How much did Ashley pay you to ride that out of his shop?

    JD

    I voluntarily rode it out. I like the way it rides, and all that other made
    in the USA patriotic stuff. I like it. It is a good ride. I had to put on
    a King rear wheel though. The Mavic hub just wouldn't hold up.

    You friggin' squiddly diddly patriot freak! You could ride a beer can
    with wheels on technical and make it look good (Cannondale?). Your
    nose-wheelie down FOI's steepest section is an idelible image in my
    feeble mind. At least you dumped the Mavic POS. It took you a while
    to learn reeeel gud about hubs, but it sounds like you're done learning
    that lesson. Now if we could only get you off of that road bike...

    Funny you should mention that. I feel like road biking has sucked all, if
    any of my MTB riding skills out of my body. It is like whoa...You mean I
    have to shift going up this hill. Oh [censored], now I have to wheelie to get
    over that rock. Damn, should have been behind the seat on that descent. It
    is kind of like going mountainbiking for the first time again, and again,
    and again.

    I hope all is well with you.

    I had a run with no technical and then hit a trail with some. Five
    minutes of shimmying and shaking and all was well.

    All is well and the kiddo says hi to your dudes.
