VPI

I am contemplating one of their bags but I think I would miss additional pockets,etc. that Saddleback seems very limited on. There is some compartmentation in the main area but no place else to shove little things I need quick access to like I have in most of my bags.

That is a good idea since he will be in Virginia next week.

Nice additions Al. I was looking to buy my first Tom Bihn thing, a strap, but the shipping is so stupid I couldn't bring myself to by a 30 dollar strap and pay a third of the purchase price again for ground shipping.

Yay Cervelo R5!!!!

I could definitely see that in the rotation.

I have all three and I have not opened one of the Adobe products in a year. Greatly prefer Aperture for everything but some heavy lifting that I would go to Photoshop for.

It was really good. Might have to grab one of those after I get my BHSE.

Trying to get last minute training in on a holiday weekend is not a good idea. Started out directly into a 20 MPH wind on a slightly less busier than usual trail until everything came to a stop as I had to walk across a street fair that went on for most of the town of Vienna. Ended up meeting with a guy with a Ti IF bike and we decided to go back the other way and went well until we hit another street festival blocking the trail in the other direction. Didn't even end up breaking a sweat and just gave up and came home. The new sunglasses did work very well.

It was a nice BH. I am really looking forward to getting my BHSE. After spending some time with my 007s on Todd's today it is hard to go back to the 323s.

Decent meet. Got to try my 007s with the BHSE and listen to the GSX so I was happy. Todd listening to his new HP system.

That must have been quite a sight, a Supreme Court Justice burning his uniform. I wonder if he kept his merit badges? Maybe Steve should send him a Cher Appreciation badge.

Happy Birthday

Made it to Hill Climber designation last night by surpassing the $1500 limit. I assume this means they will provide a volunteer to push me up hills during the ride.

Happy Birthday Brent.

Chris, I am planning to go watch/photograph the Grand Prix of Reston at the end of June. Probably pretty low level racing but should be fun to see.

Happy Birthday Raffy.

Those images of the aftermath from the large Tornado that went through Oklahoma today look pretty bad.

It really is quite an accomplishment, especially the climbing. I would guess there was a lot of pure determination involved in the ride as we big guys don't like hills.

My U-Haul only charged $30 to install. I guess I must have been lucky as they seemed to be a decent outfit.

That sucks. Aren't there a dozen different U-Haul places around there? My U-Haul shop was great and I was in and out in 30 minutes.

That was pretty cool of Fitz. You guys have fun.

The local communities really went all out for Ride your Bike to Work Day. I came home early and went for a ride. Most of the major stops were staffed with volunteers giving out fruit, water, gatorade and coffee. The W&OD Trail was pretty packed with people that had ridden into work. Stop lights had back-ups of 20-30 bikes as we waited to cross. For some reason I was useless on the bike today. I blasted through the first half of the ride but was dead the whole way back. One of my worst rides ever for some reason.

Not sure about the store but this looks like a pretty nice deal if someone is looking for a Garmin 800. $209 http://www.westernbikeworks.com/product/garmin-edge-800

Where is the video?

I would like to but I also want to take the camera gear in since it looks like rain all weekend and I want to try the teleconverter at the National Zoo. Don't know that I want to commute into DC with all that gear on my back.
