Re: Sufferfest videos?

Lister, you should be able to get a two-week free trial when you load the app, and you'll get (temporary) access to the whole library. They don't sell individual videos any more - it's a subscription model, and one that has provided a lot of value for me. They keep adding new content and their train...

Old TS Kit: Free for kids, $shipping for the rest of you lot

Hey, all: When I moved away, I brought along an accretion of TS kit that my kids and I had collected over the years. I am trimming down my closet so I can make room for the kit of a Knight of Sufferlandria <buffs nails> (One must do *something* to stay sane during a Michigan winter, even if it's som...

That, sir, is a detestable and appalling lie.

It was all Simon's fault.

So, there.

Re: Youth rider injured in hit and run- grey dodge dakota

I hope they find this person and press charges appropriate for harming a person with a 1000-kilo piece of metal. At speed. In the meantime, I love to hear of Megan's spirit and think she's more than earned one of these: https://images.sunfrogshirts.com/2015/09/21/Is-My-Bike-OK-Funny-Cycling-Shirt.jp...

Re: Why did YOU join Tripleshot?

This guy named Lister, a fellow Oak Bay Preschool parent, and I kept bumping into each other as our kids grew through Margaret Jenkins school. By 2010, I was deep into triathlon and every time I saw him, he suggested that I try riding with his Masters-oriented cycling club. I was askeered of group r...

Just to clarify: the "fair game if you fail to show" thing isn't an indiscriminate, anything-goes slag-a-rama. It's not simply about "if you don't show up"; it's about "if you should show up, but don't." This has me wondering, what happens if you do show up, but you sh...
