    Hopefully you can get through the rest of your project without having those idiots be too "helpful." I dunno, but a bike ride can do wonders to quell those homicidal urges. Even if you may not be able to come out with us, maybe you could hop on you bike and ride around the block or something.

    I've been feeling pretty pissy myself although for no good reason. Hormonal maybe? Been having a lot of head aches too. Actually more like one long headache for a few days now. Strange, becuase I haven't had too many of those since my early 20's (coincidentally about the time I move out of my parents' home.) I've come close to blowing my top at the people close to me. Not good. I have to ride my bike before I 'splode! Kapowie!

    Knot - I love the LBS to LBS ride idea. When ya wanna meet at Log Boom?

    Eden - What's the difference betwixt a mixte and a step-through? I thought they were the same thing?

    Mixtes are step-throughs but not all step-throughs are mixtes.

    A mixte has tubes that run from the head tube back to the rear drop outs. Usually two tubes.

    On step throughs, they take a really long top tube and bend it so you can, well, step through the frame rather than hoiking a leg over it.

    How 'bout Log Boom at 2:00ish? SKnotDad will take him after church, which gets me to Log Boom 2:00 or 2:15.

    I'll be on the Surly.

    We'll aim for Recycled, and see where we go from there.

    Eden, what do you think?

    I'll do my best to meet you all down at Recycled, I may have the time to meet you at Logboom, we'll see.
    I forgot I was thinking about doing a cross race tomorrow, but actually I think I won't be up for it anyway! Did some unintentional cross training yesterday (i.e. running, which I prefer not to do in the best of circumstances) in shoes that weren't really meant for it and I think I pulled a muscle.....
