I have an orange Road Holland jersey that I like a lot. On more exciting news: Dave emialed me and it looks like he's expecting the frame today/tomorrow, and said he'd have it shipped to me by the 21st/22nd. I'm biiting the bullet and paying for faster shipping rather than UPS ground. I really want the bike built up and ridden around a couple days before Sebring. Looks like it can happen.

the enigma?

topeak large http://www.topeak.com/products/bags/AeroWedgePack_large_velcro its holds EVERYTHING...extra tube, hand pump, large multi tool, tire levers, patch kits, first aid kit, my phone, my keys and my MTB card/ID/medical crap. Sometimes i use a small bento bag i use to put a snack/gels in. . MTB in florida isnt really like normal mountain biking...for us its more trail riding than anything. Its all really tight turns/switch backs...a lot of coral rock (which caused my flat), really sugary sand in some places. However, its challenging...our parks are not HUGE like national parks, so they have to make do with very little space. With that space they came up with some pretty sick stuff. Anytime you guys are ready...ill go out with you and show you around, even if you dont think you can do better than brent =) Its all good...just stay on the trail and you wont get lost.

Brent, I advise you to accept this front-end offer. Normally "The Talent" has to accept residuals on the back-end "profit". Don't be like Darth Vader. Mike needs to brush up on Hollywood Accounting.

Nice ride, and great footage, Mike. I think you and Jeff are onto something with the mentally deranged mtn bike everywhere boy. Perhaps he is the start of a new condition emerging - MBSES (Mountain Bike Everywhere Syndrome). Get that film ready for Sundance, and we can start the fund raising machinery.

The bike would be his emotional support bike, like the people I keep seeing on planes with the dogs claiming they need it for emotional support. Brent, we will cut you in on the take at the box office.

It would win an award at Cannes, I guarantee it. Dramatic music, bloody thorn holes. We would film him walking to work and walking around his office with the MTB and play it off as some mental disease in which he insists on dragging a Huffy around everywhere he goes. Golden.

Jeff, I wish I had some clue on how to edit this stuff. After reading the second line, I almost spit my coffee out. That line maybe sig worthy. I got some skills.

LK, you shouldn't end up out of pocket for this GB! If those shipping cost don't start working out to break even for you please let me know and I'll be happy to do what I can to assist with closing the gap.

Here is one of the videos I finally uploaded to youtube. You may want to start around 4 minutes or so.
