Re: My first muni ride

Why are sunblock makers sponsoring cancer research anyway? Shouldn't the cancer researchers be tapping the people who don't wear sunblock? Nah, it's the people who wear too much sunblock who are really going to benefit from cancer research when they develop bowel cancer because they haven't been synthesising enough vitamin D. :-P -- Danny Colyer http://www.colyer.plus.com/danny/ Subscribe to PlusNet http://www.colyer.plus.com/referral/ "He who dares not offend cannot be honest." - Thomas Paine ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Danny Colyer's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11637 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/57010

I don't think I've ever been so torn between enjoying reading posts
about good riding in exotic foreign locations, and investigating the
'block' feature to filter out the posts from the lucky git who gets
work to pay for a 5 month riding holiday (sorry, I clearly mean
computer science research exchange program).
Ah well, supposed to be a hard frost on tuesday night, that always
makes for good riding.

Here is a picture to help you decide
Hey I'm missing hockey, and night-riding for this. It's not all super
good you know!

ps. Danny - I'm sure I'm getting my vitamin D, but out here the sun is
so so much more harsh than in the UK even when it feels like the same
temperature.

can't you get the the puter to juggle upside down.
