Wow. An impressive rider with an impressive team to back him up. A
for Armstrong (legstrong) and the US postal riders. That kicks ass! I wonder if they'll make him sportsman of the year like SI did with LeMond. -

Good bouldering just below puppy dome by the river. Pick a boulder and go. As you face puppy dome from the wilderness parking lot, there is a 100' traverse called Machine World that is well worth a try for an evening pump. If you want easy top roping, western front has a good selection between .8 and .10 and is usually not crowded. All the classics are classics for a reason. Add Mt. Conness to that list for a long, fun day (.6). If you're headed out to Cloud's Rest, it is also fun to do it as a day hike and hit the E end of the mega slab for some super-duper-fun class 4 scrambles. If you head further west it ends up being .8 adventure climbing according to reliable accounts I've heard. Cathedral is great... on a weekday with an early start. Watch out for the boot-munching marmots at the base (Sierra snaffle). Tenaya is a great view from the top, and Mildred Lake off the backside is pretty damn scenic and rarely sees people. For a long, fun day, start at Elizabeth lake, bag unicorn to all of the cockscomb to echo peaks (5-easy ish) and add on the mountaineers route up the back of Cathedral (class 3/4) or the .6 route if you have time. So much good stuff, so little time. 4 weeks and counting....

Don't forget to bring your aid gear for the final tyrolean traverse out to the lookout.

How about "Bush for landscaper and shit shoveler" 2004?
I think Ashcroft and Rumsfeld are waayyyy scarier than Shrubya. Anyone else see the puppet strings in action?
Problem is, the initiatives that have already gone through will take a long time to undo. More important, is teaching people to think for themselves and not take what is reported as fact to necessarily be so. Critical thinkers make critical voters.

Dave,
What's the gist of the article for those of us who don't subscribe? It isn't listed on the magazine's webpage. It would be unfortunate if access is denied in the birthplace of mountain biking. Of course, with the Marin trail Nazi's, it wouldn't be too much of a surprise...

Coming from trask, I was pretty sure it would involve only one hand...

I love what I do ... I get to think, have control over my schedule, and spend a fair amount of time outside in really nice places.

Got home from the cubicle, and hopped on the road bike with some friends for a "mellow" ride which ended up being 43 miles of paceline around the north end of lake washington. Sometimes it feels good to hurt that much.
But it is still nothing at all compared to the guy who just rode across america in just under 9 nine days flat. DAMN that's burly. Most people are pleased to do the drive in 4 days.

So, check this out... the other day a friend goes to start his car and no dice. Gets it towed to a shop, comes back later... dead distibutor... comes back the next day and it turns out it wasn't the distributor, but what runs the distributor. Some fuckers selected his car as a particular model of Honda, broke in and stole the master computer from under the seat, and covered their tracks. Probably stole it so they could hotrod it for street racing. That sucks chode.
They didn't touch anything else in the car. Pretty much a pro job.

So what's with the guy with no member name posting pics of himself in the gallery? Looking for free server space?

PS, fitting lines to the plot above may or not be a meaningful exercise. Looking for significance relationships for an autoregressive system may be more meaningful and facilitate more sophisticated laying of political blame.

Funny, I thought the right wing was simpy trying to bankrupt the govt as a way of permanently removing social programs. Seems a pretty effective maneuver. hmmmmm.... does the war in Iraq count as a social program? Especially the part where the bomblets and food packages were similar in color, shape and size. Fun for the whole family!

Anybody see the bike (vs assumedly car) accident on Dexter a block north of Denny last evening (Monday) around 5:30 or 6 pm? Several emergency vehicles and more sirens in the distance. Looked pretty gruesome.....
I simply can't justify the risk of commuting to work on a bike in Seattle.
... and you climb?

I think it might take a while for the solvent to work considering the actual area that the reaction will have to take place and the rate at which it will dissolve. If there is a safe and effective way to heat the glue up (ie without torching your rope) and that is effective, that seems a good way to go. The thermal conductivity of the bolt is much higher than the surrounding rock, so that should work well. Not to mention that the splashing solvent and dissolved glue would likely make a royal mess on the wall. I guess the vapours might make it a much more enjoyable experience though...

I see the photos and I see the gear review... where's the Double Wall TR? Are you turning into enough of a gear weenie that that comes out before the bragging?
