Me too Shelly. I figure that since I have not gotten a new pc in at least 5 years why not.

Staples had them in stock online with free 2 day shipping! We'll see if they deliver but supposed to be here Thursday or Friday.

Shelly I can get a 128 or 64 walking in but the 256 is back ordered. I called and could not get through to the actual store. If this meeting ends early I may try in person.

I'm going to be using my mtb that's for sure. Full suspension with rear wheel locked out is what it is going to be. I have a friend who did it and I can ask him.

Awesome Dan! My goal is to do it without major injury Maybe we'll get the HC Jerseys a few weeks before

So we just missed it this year but I think the DC/VA/MD crew should aim at maybe doing this event next year http://mocoepic.com/ It's even on mountain bikes and looks like fun. Yes I am aware I'm talking about a mountain bike ride

Fingers crossed Brent

Left work 30 min earlier than usual and had a nice and not scream inducing pickup from daycare. Not sure if this will hold but I'm willing to work every evening until the kids are older if I don't have to repeat last week's pickups.

Your first two sound like you want to be in zone 2 a lot. It's boring for most people (I actually like it) but it does increase endurance and burn fat more effectively (i.e. more of your energy comes from fat than at more strenous levels and you can keep it up longer. Full on sprints do burn more fat than zone 2 but you can't keep them up). I use Joe Friel's definitions for the zones but basically any of them will get you in the ball park for zone 2.

Happy birthday!

Upgraded my wife's surface to 8.1 which is a nice improvement. Made me want this even more. I called and the brick and mortar Microsoft Store and it is also sold out until December. Fuck. That said I am now thinking that there is no point in keeping my pre-order for 2 months from now. Probably going to cancel the keyboard at least so I don't have that sitting around for 6 weeks. Edit: I talked to Mircrosoft Store support who assured me that the keyboard would ship with the device but I recieved a shipping notice for the keyboard today... WTF indeed. I guess the only other option is the Sony Viao Tap 11 which isn't quite as good or pretty so I'll stick with my 7 week wait.

We will see how next weekend looks but that is a definite possibly.

Coming to do hills tomorrow?

Nice!

Actually the only ship-shipping ship is the original huge barge (which is a float on float off heavy lift ship). The rest are good old fashioned barges not ship-shipping ships

Awesome! Jealous

Not nearly that crazy but I refused to let someone cut in to the line for an exit once then when she was behind me she stood on the horn for like 3 minutes while we crawled towards the highway (and I had the temerity to leave a car length in front of us) then roared around me and then went from 60-20 2 or 3 times in front of me. Was a scary experience. I forgot to get the license plate.

Try and stay on Jens' wheel and attack him on the climbs

Sorry to hear about your youngest Juan, that sounds horrible.

Sorry Ben I've got too much going on on Saturday and I can't swing that much driving. Going to take my kids to the local farm / pumpkin patch instead. I hope that you have a great time on the ride. Planning on riding Sunday though if you want to come down here. I know that you have a long drive too so no pressure.

Happy birthday!
