that doesn't mean he's Mike V. what does Gore know or care about
mountainbiking? or Bush for that matter? and i'm not sure why
there's all this talk about it coming down to Florida. according to
www.fisherbikes.com, Gary Fisher was winning by a huge margin last
night.

Unfortunately that will meant hat you voted for the winner of the two,
not that it matters in the grand scheme of things. I don't think either
of them planned to give generous capital loans to the major bike
companies or introduce new stringent safety standards requiring passive
restrain systems on bicycles.

Yep, Litespeed is located in Chattanooga. They get all their wierd names
from the rivers and such around here. And as long as everyone thinks we
don't have any good trails, I'll be able to keep riding miles and miles
of the best singletrack without seeing a single person. So everyone go
to Austin! Keep away from my trails.

That's the most ignorant texish BS I've ever seen on this NG. Comparing an
area like austin to a whole state that even has (albeit small) mountains is
ludicrous. I bet you've never even ridden in TN. Say in tx edweeb.

So what-yeah I've rode in Tenisee. Austin has 10 world class tracks in a 50
mile radius and I don't have to drive the 20000 sq miles of Tennissee and risk
syphylis and highway partol to get to them. Austin is king of the urban trails.
Bar none. Tennisee hahahaha! :)

That he may very well be. My idea of an environmental rapist is a bit
different though. Dean Williamson is an environmental rapist. Laird
Knight is an environmental rapist. Those nuckfuts who trashed Chutes &
Ladders with their dirt bikes are environmental rapists. Dweebs who
ride their mountain bikes off-trail are environmental rapists. It's
always easier to point fingers at the top of the food chain, but there
are always individuals in the chain that are just as (if not more)
responsible for damage to our environment.

You both forget ... they are politicians and they BOTH will screw either the
environment or the mtb'er for money. Neither really cares ... look at their
record and what they say ... don't get so worked up about the Bush/Gore
thing ... it doesn't make one bit of difference who is where, the end result
WILL be the same.

I don't suppose you're writing from Alaska. I think it's interesting when
people dictate what citizens of other states should or should not be doing
with their state. It's also interesting that Bush CARRIED Alaska.

To slowly pull the thread back on-topic, what's the coldest conditions in
which anyone's ever ridden?
