That is clear evidence that riding a bike on the grass leads to flooding. I would not worry too much about the damage. It will grow back. I find that most people like to whine and complain.

I called our help desk one time and they remoted into my PC. She started to move my pointer around and said "I am in your computer. Can you see me in your computer?" I said "I'm not sure, what are you wearing?"

13 on the fatso riding through the lights with the bike all decked out

Why don't we provide healthcare for everyone...and forget about funding the insurance industry.

I would get a swine fever vaccine in case I find and infect you!

Damn...I should got to bed at 8:30 more often

Ah, the inevitable "You screwed up my stuff," scenario. It sounds like you did it best. Work to repair the damage, after it happens. Might I suggest a good PR piece written about the event and hi-light what you do to preserve the beauty of the park. Include man hours donated as well as what work was done. Like, beat them to the punch. They are already expecting it and you take their power away. Specifically mention the good that this event creates. Like, preventing obesity by giving kids a healthy activity or $XXXX.00 was donated to X charity. Or $X,XXX amount of funds were infused into local economies by visitors for this event. Positive spins that outweigh the perceived negative aspects will help people understand.

Ouch Precisely the reason I rarely carry more than 20G on my person.

I think this might be that n00b, Razor What's His Name. That guy....... On the other hand the guy in the pic looks like he's unemployed and playing an a park. I might have to go with RG.

24 miles today and yesterday. 20 on the trainer on Monday.

I'm sure you were wonderful. Although I always cringe when I hear my voice on a recording or see a video and realize how bad my posture is. But you were there to be recognized for your work and the work of everyone at your organization, and that's what's really important.

What';s my motivation, Bob?

Gotta study. Big test tomorrow..

Damage at Joe Creason Park My son raced in this race on both days. It was an event that was a UCI race that brought people in to our city from all over. An estimated half million in revenue was brought into our city. Now people are up in arms because bikes caused damage to a city park. Damage in the form of grass killed and some ruts left. Seed was planted by race promoters after the race. Pic after the races. The same park in the spring on any given year. login[1].jsp

Uh oh.

This sounds typically millennial.

Umm, not exactly tax dollars. They have been taking the payments for medicare out of every paycheck I have gotten for many many years that I was not on Medicare. I mean it is a tax but it is a tax that is supposed to pay for your health insurance when you retire.

It is NOT! Not sure exactly who is in that picture but he sure appears to be a vacuous toffee nosed malodorous pervert. (honestly, I did not read this before my post on the dead grass thread)

13 cold and windy miles for me

Wilbur died in a simulator crash at the end of a virtual runway. A virtual moment of silence for Wilbur....... carry on.

Let's see, the current plan of succession starts with @Kzoo, then @2Far then Further, Ralph, DH, Smudge, Petite, Old#7, Wilbur, Airwick, everyone else except you and I, an old ashtray, the dog crap I left in the park, me and then you. So NO! Any questions?

Yup I was right the first time. Razor What's His Name.

Ran 3.2 before work

20 on the Computrainer. Watts: 156 avg, 295 max, cadence: 83 avg, 143 max. Speed, 14.5 avg, 26 max. HR 109 avg, 132 max. after class I drove to the LBS for a vendor meeting. The rep for Shimano, Pearl Izumi, Gu, and Light and Motion gave a presentation. Clock in, drink beer (Founders All Day IPA) and get swag. I got some PI arm warmers and we get a good discount on lights. got home around 10:00 and had two beers for dinner.

Don't forget your passport.

2 on the treadmill. 45 minutes on weights.

"The Grid" is so much more than just electricity. No traffic control. No internet. No communication I think most people could survive without electricity at the home level. But when the institutional stuff goes away society breaks down. There are a lot of people with guns to defend their stuff. And there are a lot of people with guns to take it.

And this is why you need to wear pants for your test.

yep

Please join us for dinner, it's not like we'd even know you were there. We'll be staying at a suite in Hotel 10, room for you there too.

She so purty.

Who is the mayor ruler of Earth City? That might be a pretty good gig money for nothing. Chicks for free

Oral exam and simulator ride? Make sure you log book is up to date, remember the bottle to throttle rule, and wear pants!

I'm a control freak and a know-it-all. I can't stand a trainer. I think the only reason I've lasted this long with PT is because I don't know anything about rehabilitation for this surgery. You are right, PP. Rest days are important after hearty workout days. You go girl!

At least they didn't leave your back gate open!

Nominated for POTD. SW's first nomination. See, things get better as soon as the power is taken away. I wonder what it will take for him to get funny. Never mind - stupid thought.

A big tourist town, eh? I hear a lot of folks "summer" up in Michigan to get away from the oppressive heat in the South. Tom

Same

We're all counting on you.

Effing A! It sounds like SW also had an evil trainer.

Your question should be "WTF FEDEX/USPS"? Your package was shipped by Fedex Smartpost. So it shipped via FedEx from the shipper to USPS. USPS will now deliver it to you. You should have it sometime early next week, according to my second cousin, postalbot.

Just to say, the Irish ain't British btw, they get a bit pissed if you call em that.

Listen to my story friends, and you'll know the answer. Warning lights are flashing down at Quality Control Somebody threw a spanner and they threw him in the hole There's rumors in the loading bay and anger in the town Somebody blew the whistle and the walls came down There's a meeting in the boardroom they're trying to trace the smell There's leaking in the washroom there's a sneak in personnel Somewhere in the corridors someone was heard to sneeze 'goodness me could this be Industrial Disease? The caretaker was crucified for sleeping at his post They're refusing to be pacified it's him they blame the most The watchdog's got rabies the foreman's got fleas And everyone's concerned about Industrial Disease There's panic on the switchboard tongues are ties in knots Some come out in sympathy some come out in spots Some blame the management some the employees And everybody knows it's the Industrial Disease The work force is disgusted downs tools and walks Innocence is injured experience just talks Everyone seeks damages and everyone agrees That these are 'classic symptoms of a monetary squeeze' On ITV and BBC they talk about the curse Philosophy is useless theology is worse History boils over there's an economics freeze Sociologists invent words that mean 'Industrial Disease' Doctor Parkinson declared 'I'm not surprised to see you here You've got smokers cough from smoking, brewer's droop from drinking beer I don't know how you came to get the Betty Davis knees But worst of all young man you've got Industrial Disease' He wrote me a prescription he said 'you are depressed But I'm glad you came to see me to get this off your chest Come back and see me later - next patient please Send in another victim of Industrial Disease' I go down to Speaker's Corner I'm thunderstruck They got free speech, tourists, police in trucks Two men say they're Jesus one of them must be wrong There's a protest singer singing a protest song - he says 'they want to have a war to keep us on our knees They want to have a war to keep their factories They want to have a war to stop us buying Japanese They want to have a war to stop Industrial Disease They're pointing out the enemy to keep you deaf and blind They want to sap your energy incarcerate your mind They give you Rule Brittania, gassy beer, page three Two weeks in Espana and Sunday striptease' Meanwhile the first Jesus says 'I'd cure it soon Abolish Monday mornings and Friday afternoons' The other one's on a hunger strike he's dying by degrees How come Jesus gets Industrial Disease
