Champion 6225 | Subject: RE: Ghoulie March (biking) Madness!!! good morning ghoulies. im not sure if this is good news or bad. i took my bike to the LBS on Tuesday for a tune up. no problems w the bike except the screw that held the water bottle holder kept coming out. nothing major, but a pain when it would do it during a ride and the cage would start to rattle. i got a call from the LBS saying that inside the tube where the screw went it was stripped. JAMIS the maker of my bike was willing to cover this under full warranty and get this.... GIVE ME A BRAND NEW their TOP OF THE LINE HIGHEST QUALITY FULL CARBON FRAME (mine is full carbon already but this will be the new 2010 frame) as a REPLACEMENT, TOTALLY FREE.  i know SHUT UP!!!! thing is, they have to dismantle my bike, ship it to Jamis, have them replace the new frame, then they have to ship it back to the LBS and they have to put my bike back together - so on the one hand i will probably be w/out my bike at least for the next three-four weeks, bad timing since i would've been amping up my training for my May tris. though im paid up for spinning 3 1/2 hrs a week for the next 7 weeks anyways ....but then on the other hand.... a small price to pay to get a NEWER HIGH QUALITY FULL CARBON FRAME. all for a silly/inconsquential stripped thread.

Champion 16743 Somewhere I can be nekidd | Subject: RE: Ghoulie March (biking) Madness!!! GET OUT THE DOOR DEE!!! Just got back from 9 miles. It was rainy and breezy and a bit cool. It took me about 5 miles to get in a groove, but it's done. It would have been a little over 9 miles but the family was coming up the road at 8.9 miles, as soon as I hit 9 I jumped in the truck to get out of the rain. A quick snack, then a shower and the boy and I are off to the Y. |

Pro 4482 NJ | Subject: RE: Ghoulie March (biking) Madness!!! Afternoon Ghoulies! Got a nice swim in this morning followed by some sauna time. Then knocked off the grocery store, drug store and PetSmart. I just finished boiling eggs for the week's b'fasts, and for once I didn't forget they were on the stove and boil them to oblivion. Now have to cook chicken for the carni's. They live a charmed life. In fact, the only one living a more charmed life than my cats has to be Stacie. |

I've been wanting to go out with them for a while now, but life can be one conspiratorial SOB. I'm really glad I went though. There are some serious studs that come out and ride and everyone was really cool. I heard that about this group. The one guy everyone keeps talking about is some stud in a blue jersey on a Specialized Tarmac. |

Good job getting 9 done in the rain. |

There are some serious studs that come out and ride and everyone was really cool. I still have 200 to get in this month big guy! All the rain this weekend isn't helping. It is supposed to be clear and warm all week though. Then may your week be full of blissful miles spent in the saddle Ann! My next ride will be Monday and the next one scheduled after that is Saturday. Then again, I'm taking a few days off work while my wife rehabs from her surgery so I'll probably try to sneak in a few extra credit workouts while the short people are in school and she's resting. When is your wife's surgery? Tuesday morning. She's having a spinal stimulator implanted, which means they're going to run some wires up next to her spinal cord which are in turn attached to a battery/control unit (about the size of a Snapple lid) which is placed under the skin in her back. I keep telling her that she's going to be a robot, but I don't think she finds it funny. It'll make her laugh eventually... |

I LIVE. A CHARMED. LIFE. stacieb My .02, this is definitely good news. Yes, it sucks that you're without your own bike for a few weeks, but you should have the new one in PLENTY of time to get acquainted before the May races. Enjoy the new road rocket, and make sure you take plenty of pics! BTW, is there any way the LBS has a bike you can rent/borrow once or twice a week until the new one arrives?

I've got 4.5 on tap for today, which I will need to sandwich between some house cleaning. MIL is coming to town Thursday and I need to make sure the place doesn't look like a bomb went off. |
