I did something to my big toe/ball of my foot. Not sure what, but it's been moderately painful for the last three days. It felt better today but I decided to take it easy on top of coming down with at least half the cold that Lily and Andrew had last week. I'm going to skip the commute tomorrow as well and hopefully feel better Tuesday.

Bummer about the rough day Vicki, here's to hoping tomorrow will be better. I've been having an issue with my right foot that cropped up mid-week and is probably going to keep me off the bike all weekend. I'm still hopeful that I can get a commute in on Monday but it's not looking good right now.

My GPS issues persist with the S3 so I'm hard pressed to recommend Sammy at this point. I'll be getting a replacement shortly so hopefully that'll take care of it. I love the phone otherwise.

I'd get a warranty replacement, Shelly.

I'm rendered pretty speechless. Sorry seems inadequate. Rest in peace, Jim.

While I love my ER4Ps I have to say that my recent foray into mid-level customs has the Etys looking awfully dusty in their little pouch.

I think a recent forum update has started putting semi-annoying auto links into common phrases/keywords. I noticed it a few days ago but it doesn't seem very consistent.

Woot to Peter and Raffy for good (if not great) news.

Jeff, I've got two of their older messenger style bags. The Roadrunner looks sweet, but I have no direct experience with it. What I can say is that their bags are very well built, but are similar to Red Oxx in their function over form philosophy. I find their bags attractive, but some would say that are overly utilitarian.

I will live a content and complete life never having done business with that asshat. That said I have never heard a stock 325 that I liked all that well. I'd sell them and buy a used pair of HF1s.

Crikey, it's 70 here today. I had an off-island site visit this morning which made it particularly painful to come back to the office.

Any interest in roasting a few pounds and selling them like that? I have neither time nor desire to roast at home right now, unfortunately.

Looks good to me. What are the plans for an attenuator?

Goddamn that's hot, Raffy.

I definitely would not have handled that situation as well as you did CJ. Fucktard seems inadequate for those 2.

I broke 100 this week for the first time, pretty much by accident. I'm kicking the crap out of last year so far. Hopefully that's a trend that will continue. The weaker is looking nice for a commute tomorrow so I'll be on the road shortly after 6am.

Glad to hear that you're doing so well, Vicki. I'm headed out for a quick 17 now myself.

Got out for a good 24. I've been trying to dial it back and not push as hard and with the exception of a mile or two on this ride I managed that pretty well today.

Happy Birthday Ryan!

Mike, Bummer that you'll be that close, but still out of reach. It is a pretty decent haul from Lake Placid.

It's been pretty dry up here so far this spring so the trails should be in pretty decent shape. I'm actually going to try to get a look at part of the loop Ian and I rode a few times last year to see how much of a mess the winter left it. I too am very much looking forward to hitting the trails again. In roadie news I'm going to try to get out for a ride today since we kicked the kids out for the night to celebrate my wife's birthday.

Done!

Nice Chris, every little bit helps.
