you sir are correct, all this talk of "passion" and "enlightenment" was getting me worried! lol
I got into ss originally because it was all I could afford - the good ole college dayz - and where I am from its flat as a pancake...no need for squish or gears back then.

I will pray for you, Misfortunate One...as soon as I warm up a frothy cup of International Delight Mocha Buttercup Frappuccino.

Then I'm gonna meet you at the trailhead for a little DH action and show you just how sappy I can be when I run your arse over.

ShoFizzle and Upchuck, let's settle this on the trail... Sat morning? Something in the San Gabs? I'll referee, and provide the medical assistance (no I'm not a doc, but I'll sleep at a holiday inn tomorrow night). Vince, you seem to have it down, so you bring the lattes.

I figure we can get a good ride in before the rains.

Wildcat, you in?

What's the point of SS'ng anyway? I don't get it. The guys(and gals) I see riding them walk the steepest climbs (that the gearies make), and they are spinning like mad on the flats.

I've never even ridden a SS, but after racing some 24 hour races, I have learned not to say anything derogatory about them, unless Jose's riding it!

BD, I had the same opinion of SSing as you, until a bought and starting riding one. My opinion is that the people that bag on SSing are usually the people that have never tried it. Contempt prior to investagation.

Now if you would have prefaced your statement, I used to SS and this was my experience, you would not be getting negative responses. With your statement, there is the posibility that you are just tring to stir up things. Would not be the first time here... BD you are new to the site and don't risk getting the Troll label. This is not MTBR, most of the people on this site know each other and we ride often together.

Besides between your handle, not signing your name to your claim, and lack of where you live in your signature, already has me believing that you are a Troll.

I have to say, in FoShizzle's defense, I've never known him to be a vindictive or malicious person. He's actually quite the sensitive guy. Not the "crying on the beach while watching a sunset" type, but you get to know a guy after racing on a 24 hour team together.

I think he was looking for a sequel to Broke Back Mountain, but I told him he was barking up the wrong tree. Honestly tho, he's good people. Don't throw the rope over that low hanging tree branch yet...

Afraid I'm gonna have to take a raincheck (no pun intended). I'm gearing up right now for a Tour de Santa Monica. Los Robles to Sycamore and back. 40 miles of prime ST that does quite well post-rain.

Thanks for the invite! Fo might still want to go out with ya'll tho. It's been awhile since he suggled with somebody on the trail...

So, let me get this straight...just because I am new here and haven't taken the time to fill out the "forms", I am not entitled to an opinion?

What is this place? Some kinda secret club where if you don't know the handshake you are not welcome?

I am still unsure of what I have said to Fo Shizzle to deserve his comments?
