Cyclists

 I'm now a two bike man again (4 bike family) and have got this operating for the first time in a decade.  I love it::

Chrome-moly even rather than steel.  She's light as a feather (unless you compare her to carbon).  Zero chance on the fixie thing, just had her Shimano (can't remeber the model) all tightened and tidied.  Just need to look at the handlebar geometry.  Think they may need to come up just a little.

I'll check the tire size.  Those were cheap with free tubes on special so in my price range.  Also new pedals (first lesson, should have spent more on decent Shimano's than cheap brand X), new seat, new tape, new cables.

Needs a shorter handlebar stem, the previous owner (forumite Mossy) is a few inches taller and it's a bit of a stretch.

Knocked 1:10 of my commute this morning. Puncture on the way home made that a bit slower.  Third puncture in the last 10 days across all bikes.  Luckily Mossy packed me a spare tube under the seat.

Good man.

Is anybody else going to be watching Oprah for the first time tomorrow at 3pm for Lance Armstrong interview?  It's on Discovery channel at 3pm.

My wife set it to record but I'm not keen. Surely it's just going to be self-aggrandising rubbish.

Probably but I just can't walk away

Agree with both posts above.  

 I won't be watching.

If you do watch, make sure you have a bucket next to you.

These Guys Were Definatley On Drugs !!

I have it set to record, undecided if I want to watch him blame everyone, but himself or if I just make it a drinking game :)

On a serious note.  I've been on my bikes alot but today was my fIrst cycle to work of the year (despite injury) and set a new best time.

Bikes in for a service, but looking forward to a few bikes to work soon. Definitely need to!

It was gorgeous this morning.  No wind, just road a bit damp in a few place so had to be careful on my descent.  Hopefully wind stays away or is light from the South for a ride home.

Ooh, can't wait. I've just moved from Tawa from Petone so cut the gorge and J'ville-Tawa hill out of my commute. Can't say I'm too upset about that.

 You can wave as you pass me then. 

O.M.G! I am totally gonna do this. 

Shall we make rules? 

Every mention of Livestrong?

Every time he blames someone else?

Finish the vessel if he jumps on Oprah's couch? (I really want this to happen - Any chance to mock Tom cruise is worth it)

Every time he says 'everyone does it, so it's okay'

Every time he criticises USADA.

Every time he says that he is disappointed.

 Consume the bottle if he throws the UCI under the bus as complicit.

When he says 'it is all in the past'

When he says 'It is time to move on'

When he says, "role model for my kids"

If he says "Yeah Definitely"

every time he mentions "getting on with life"

Will be leg less by 3:10 !!!!

Patrick lost his bow yesterday...

Can we just have on rule "book" if you want to add just quote this and add the addition.  Let's keep it not TOO hard to follow.

I will jump on here when I get home to watch and you can all watch me get drunk (via my postings).

I did say IF you want to add.  I was more just wanting them in one place.

I may print them before I leave work so I have a reference. 

Now to decide what I'll drink....

Oh right, my bad. As you were. Can't really add more now anyway since it's about to start. 

I'll bring you coke if you want.

I'm gonna go with vodka and lemonade I think.  And I'm back at Mum's so a bit far out for a coke run.

You Kings tomoz?

Yes.

Not watching but hope Oprah asks him about all the peoples lives he ruined. The guy that runs the bike shop here in Upper Hutt is one of many.
