Phil I also neglected to post my road bike so this might explain why I like to road ride a little better ;-)

Ok Crohnsy fair enough *drools* Carbon Fibre frame? I think road riding would be great if it weren't for the cars, I used to ride a bike to school and got knocked down 4 or 5 times. It's a great way to put down the miles and it would be a really good outlet come the winter but I don't fancy 'negotiating' with 2 ton metal monstrosities for the right to live :D

I rode out to Hopkins two weeks ago.
The ammo box is what I carry the camera in. The other bags I lug food and a change of clothes in. The Midtown Greenway is an awesome place to cruise, but people are friendlier closer to the river I think.
Nothing says shadenfruede like drafting someone in spandex though. I hate it when people damn near clip your handlebars without so much as a "passing on the left." I can ride 18-20 for about 15 miles before need to take it easy. I'll draft the bastard till he's blue in the face. ever ride with an anarchist brake caliper? thats me--the grinning goon on an old french road bike BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
seriously though folks, etiquette is not a sign of weakness.

Got to respect a man that has a Kierkegaard quotation in his signature. He's marginally less opaque than Heidegger :D
crohnsy:
Yeah Phil full carbon frame, frame, fork, pedals, handlebar, and post :D
I'm getting depressed its been pretty much raining where i live non stop for the last 2 months making for a terrible trail conditions and wet roads :(
Phil73805:
Rain on the trails does bring about one of life's great joys...MUD! There's nothing like doing downhill runs through sketchy mud when the bike is trying it's utmost to throw you off!...It occurs to me that I'm quite strange... :D
