JD, before you say "Who?" ... Me you big ole freak! ;-)
Hello all, hope this finds you well and safe.

Things I miss;
Not reading this friggin group enough!
Western U.S.A.! I don't think there is a better looking place. Go
West Young Man!....Some day......some day.
Pennies posts
Slackbastard. ;-)
P e t e F. (seriously)
Vanderterrorist.
What was that weird dudes name?....Travis, that's it, who has he
morphed into this time?
GT.
THE CANADIENS! Carla and Jimbo, Shut The Foook up and Ride!
Paladin.

Hey I know I missed a few especially the guy who grew up around here
near Rock Creek, Bill Sornson...funny one liners... ;-)
Corvus.....

Happy Thanksgiving remember our Bros. in Iraq.

Okay, Back on topic. Yes, I still ride... a lot. But I'll be starting
to ride even more this winter. Still on my SS, damn that bike is
solid! I'm still waiting for it to break, hope it never does. Only
ever replaced the tires, and brakes. Bianchi DISS. MFB!

Oh, I forgot Dave in Georgia or Texas. You and JD still goin' at it!
Remember Celebrity Death Match?!

Sorry A.D.D kicked in again... ;-)

As you all (some anyway) know, I'm very slow to change....It's not
that I don't like change. It's just, hey if it works why bother?
Well I broke down and got a set of lights, Niterider Classic.....HOLY
[censored] I've been missing a whole other universe when it comes to riding.
I've been night riding before but only with a cheap set of LEDs and
would try to limit it to full or very near full moons (ride solo most
of the time still)...but that's changing too. Wow what a difference.

On the road:
TONS OF ROAD MILES, mostly on my fixed gear after "my" Tri season
ended in August. There really is no better way to enjoy a road ride
than on a fixed gear. If you haven't tried it please do. I guess
it's been about a year and a half since I've gotten hooked. It's the
BOMB! My friends made it from Washington State to Maryland on fixies.
They were inspired by "saving the world" from diabetes and raising
money for Kupenda. One of them is a diabetic and on an insulin pump
they road 6000 miles....on fixies....UNFVSKING REAL!

Running:
Completed my 2nd marathon and ran over 600 miles so far this year.
I'm base training for my IM in the future....2008 I hope.

Ranting:
Oh yeeaaaaas! I still rant. I can't hold a conversation without
mentioning my SS in some shape or form. Someone can be talking to me
about sod or paint or whatever....I swear I work in my Biaaaatch!
(Bianchi D.I.S.S) I'm soooo damn strange.

Word up, keep riding.

PEACE.

OH Shawn from across the pond! What's up you whackassbastard?!

Peace again,
Bill

hey, I still post once in a while, but I think MTB content gets kind of
buried and lost with all the post pissing contests going on...

Great to see you stop by, amingo! All that fixie riding has made you
shat-bit crazy. Here's a shot from a hike we did this summer that
kinda sums up why I love Idaho so danged much:

Good to see you haven't been pining for me too much!

I had to settle for non-cycling activity last weekend, but I think I'll
be ok.

Nice pic Matt.
I took the desktop picture currently on my computer within a 1/4 mile of
that shot.

Strange post Bill. More please :-)
