Weekend is on the way and that is a really cool deal. DD2 will be home next week and we'll start adjusting to having a not empty nest again. Damn it, now I must put on pants Today we have a little something from Dale Carnegie - “It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.” Enjoy the weekend!!!!  |

Capris: CW-X Stabilyx Socks: Balega quarters socks (but I have some Wrightsocks that seem nice as well) Watch: Garmin 310 Janyne, what saddle are you using, Cobb? I am finally test riding a Specialized Romin this weekend. All the roadies I group ride with swear by them. There are very few pieces of equipment that I feel strongly about, but I think that the saddle will be in the small group of "Gear that matters to Chris". And I am a Balega lover as well. Definitely believe in paying attention to that area as well. Any point of contact with the bike really as they'll be there for quite awhile. Both Cobb and Adamo have some good offerings there. Some others are starting to pick it up too. Like Specialized with the Sitero and Bontrager has something now too. |

Master 6595  Rio Rancho, NM | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) Originally posted by QueenZipp Originally posted by melbo55 WOW, that is super scary looking flooding. Be safe!! Originally posted by brigby1 Originally posted by jmkizer Originally posted by rrrunner No race for me this weekend :-( Denver is flooding near the venue Boo! At least they gave you a lot of advanced warning but it still sucks. Here is what they're looking at. WOW...that is seriously bad and crazy! Yeah, please stay away from that area, TJ. Bummer you will be missing a race, though. Yeah, it's crazy. We were about an hour in to our drive when I got the email that the race was cancelled. I emailed my niece because she was driving in from Kansas. She opted to continue on to Denver to see her parents. We discussed it but DH was inclined to turn around. So we did. I'm still sad. This is our 3rd Denver cancellation in as many months, today is my niece's birthday, and I was really really really looking forward to that race. Nothing to be done about it now I suppose. But it takes the Brooks port-a-potty option off the table for Rock N Roll because they have to be purchased at Denver retailers. So I decided to take today off anyway because I'm still pouting about the whole situation. It's raining/flooding here too. So I'm staying inside, couldn't run or bike this morning, just hanging with the dogs, cleaning, baking and watching the haps on BT.
