Hey - don't know if someone hit this here yet or not, but one of our old school guys from here is now the Tech editor at Velo. Promotion was announced last week. Thought that was super cool.

Also - I am now a pro team sponsor. Vanderkitten.

Meow. Excited.

I'm bummed because my friend's wife didn't get whatever contract renewed with Vanderkitten. Just when they went Psimet. Daggummit. Congrats psimet. And to Ze as well, although I don't know how much he can drop in here now.

Does this means you'll be wearing the Vanderkitten kit at the that whatever thing you rode in the "L" kit?

Just got a new Raymour & Flanigan catalog in the mail. Nice stuff !
We bought a sectional sofa from them a couple of years ago. It's holding up so far, but seems a bit more cheaply made than we realized.

Caley had been posting fairly regularly over in Weight Weenies. I hope things work for him over there, it seems like that position has been a revolving door in recent years.

And Congrats Psi on the sponsorship deal.

You have a tendency to do stupid things on a dare. I sense this is the next chapter. Pics welcome.

Congrats on the next step in your company's evolution. BTW the wheels look great on the Felt. I'll take some pictures over the holiday.

Congrats Rob! Great news for sure....

Not much time left at the office, then it's off to the Dominican for some family bonding. First time my wife and I have taken my boys on an extended holiday. I say boys, but when they are 17 and 24 I can only imagine the shenigans they will get into...

Also, it's the first vacation my wife and I have taken that does not involve bikes...This will be interesting...

level 41 question.

my sister asked for advice on a trainer/turbo for my bro-in-law's xmas present.

i've always been a rollers/outside guy. don't have clue where to start.

any suggestions on a mid range home trainer?
