"Rick, you da man!" :)

You're on! But only if you run and I ride. Unless it's a downhill
course, then I'll let you ride a mountain bike.

If Wendy ever said that about me, I would melt into a lump of formless
jelly.

I'm experimenting with the internym after seeing it so artfully used
by others on other newsgroups. Half the time I forget. And I certainly
don't meet the standard of those who I emulate. But isn't it better
than my old sig, which was labelled by Jobst Brandt as my *pablum
mantra*?
Seriously, when I have the time while on the road to play around here,
I take it. I know about broken cranks and worn-out chains, and I've
seen lots of marginal tri-bikes that were unnecessarily close to the
durability edge because of simple ignorance. I can help with that, and
I will. I have a few convictions, and when they are challenged, I'll
squeak. And I have plenty of experience with bonking, even I haven't
done an Ironman. It beats the hell outta the hotel-room TV.
Last week I was in Sacramento, and I'm writing these words from the
Bonaventure in downtown LA. Guess where I was over the weekend?
Basking in the sun on Oceanside beach, imagining what it would be like
to be here next weekend. Maybe next year. My Sunday run from downtown
Carlsbad to the tip of the Oceanside pier and back was magical.
