Tripleshot Cycling

My wretched son calls Discovery Coffee my "dealer." <whap>

I prefer to buy their beans and put them through my own Rancilio Silvia here at home, but the company in my kitchen is nowhere near as good as that I'm getting to know at Fisherman's Wharf on Friday mornings.

My coach made me swim this morning and I figured I'd get more points if I was cold and wet than I would out with you lot where it was just plain dark?

(I would like to see the points scale re-published)

And I baptized it in chain grease, while repairing the first flat I've had in a decade. Am pulling out the Dawn now.

Well, don't I feel silly.

After hunting all over the continent, it turns out that Oak Bay Bikes has 'em.

There are five sets left and they'll order more if it looks like there is going to be a run on them.

I liked the comment on another site that said "I'll give you a dollar of you can watch this less than 10 times." I need to find Joey's email and figure out a civilized way to tell him he got me through a dismal day in the office yesterday. I doled it out: Business Case JOEEEEEEEY! Busines...

OK. Here's the deal. I'll order as many sets of Fender Nuts as requested by close of business on Friday and we'll split the shipping on a per-set basis. I may have a line on a Canadian distributor near Niagara, which would make things Much Betterer. Maybe they'll toss in zip ties and some electrical...

For removable fenders on road bikes, try these http://problemsolversbike.com/products/sheldon_fender_nuts/. Once the fenders are set-up, the more time-consuming step, three bolts allow you to remove and replace your fenders in 5 minutes. Only a bit longer than elastic-attached fenders, but more sec...

Totally chickened out.

I'm still learning the cast of characters around here and am concerned that I might say, <blonde>"In!"</blonde> only to find myself dragging my sorry backside up Goldstream Heights while the rest of you sit at the top, snickering and plotting a way to get to Observatory Hill and Mount Newt...

Anyhow. For the love of god people, it's " Alces ", not "Alce"!!!! The "s" in the latin binomial Alces alces , does not denote plurality. 1 moose = 1 Alces alces , just as 1 human = 1 Homo sapien s . And don't even get me started about the fact that Alces should be ita...

I exaggerate)... ...that the recent firmware upgrade for the 310XT was a disaster, as was the latest Garmin Connect upgrade. I strongly suggest giving new releases from Garmi...

Thanks, Sylvan. I was hoping you'd chime in.

I like the loop you posted and will crib from it shamelessly.

I ran an overnight relay on a Master's team called "Old and in the Way."

Good evening, all I am thinking of riding home from my shift as a marshal at the TT this weekend. I haven't been north of the Malahat on a bike before and am more than a little intimidated by the bump on the way back, but I am a tough old broad and can probably pull it off. (B- rider by TS standards...

We need 15 volunteers total. I will assign jobs later but for now I need to get people's names and emails. I have: Dave S Jeremy, Laura and John D So who else? I also still need prizes...... anyone have anything they can offer up? Please email me plawless@jsg.bc.ca And, yes, you do detect a note of...

Lister, I'm in. I'll be taking David (anyone's kid need a lift? I can take one more) up to Duncan and will stay and marshal the race.

I'll be there. Regular saturday ride. Rain or shine. No attacking either. Anyone else going to be there with their fenders on if it's raining in the AM? I was planning on tomorrow being my first full Tripleshot ride since before you lot discovered blue argyle, but my fenders are off and I am not in...

Oh, dear God, just when I'd screwed up the courage to try coming out with the Bs tomorrow. <bites fingernails> The average for this morning's B ride was 34.8km/hr. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/99310638 The ride included a couple of near stops on hills to make sure everyone was still together. ...

I'm thinking about racks, too. I am tired of sacrificing the tailgate on my cute-ute to a rack that's a pain to put on and off. I don't have a hitch so can't really put a receiver one on. There's a Thule four-up roof rack on usedvictoria right now. It takes bikes with both wheels on. When I was out ...

By contrast, I took my bike (11-y-o Trek 2300) into Pro City and they kind of rolled their eyes at me and told me there was nothing they could do apart from eyeball it for any grossly obvious problems.
