It's a mess.
Tell her to stop looking at porn on her work computer.

Also, no random shopping sites, opening mass emails with attachments, etc etc.

I have a feeling that this has happened before, no?

Back up her data to a portable drive. Use a surrogate computer to scan the drive (it's probably clean). Then perform a recovery installation, add the service packs, windows updates, AV, and a strong lecture to the guilty.

We're lucky that there aren't many resticted sites but I can see why companies do that and restrict access to the C drive because people download all sorts of stuff either intentionally or unintentionally.

I was talking with Garmin's aerodynamicist recently, and he noted that (in general) getting your hands close to your face is more important than drop, as long as you're anywhere near flat. We were talking about how to get a fast position with the new mass-start-only gear rule for collegiate TT's. He was even saying put the bars level or above the saddle for better power, then tuck the hands and arms up.

5" of drop is pretty big I'd say..

A pretty lady just asked me out. I told her I'm a bike racer - she turned around and walked away.

jk

I told her I was married but that I was really flattered. I felt embarrassed for her. Gutsy to say the least. Lining up for a bike race is nothing compared to asking someone out, at least in my opinion.

If she's over 40, you might want to direct her northward

I posted some words about Madfiber wheels over in the "pics of your bike" thread.
I'll probably stop by their factory in a week or two, and I should have a loaner set to ride for a week or so still this month.

if any of you guys have questions or are wondering anything let me know - I'll see what I can drum up for you.

You should have sold ladies shoes "back in the day." Crazy days.

Tingly left leg=not good way to start the day.

Vitamin I = new diet.

Time to calm down overall and stop neglecting the core workouts.

Well, there you have it.

I'm not kidding though. Some middle aged women must just go to shoe stores shopping for young men (I was 18 at the time). Commission on a $250 sale plus a date?

Only if you get to eat dinner and keep all the commission.

I should probably stop here. I'll just ask... do you really think that BMW exec was going to have you pay for dinner (if you guys even ate any food... off of plates...)?
