Bob bisson broke his scalpel. No, not scapula, his cannondale. Lefty fork, front axle snapped. That wasn't the only broken bike. I didn't break mine, but I had trouble moving my arms from riding position for a few days. I'll be racing in topsfied tomorrow and that bedford cross race on sunday. Both way closer to home and not nearly as painful.zencyclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00972746221081909463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29631046.post-78729814024931597062009-09-11T09:15:07.326-04:002009-09-11T09:15:07.326-04:00I would have prereg'ed but my bike is at IBC w...I would have prereg'ed but my bike is at IBC with a dead rear wheel.

Oh ya, that's right...I lost The Zaskar, just lost, have no idea where I put it...I checked under the couch".<br /><br />It's all about the wording, your legal team will totally be able to work with that.<br /><br />My assumption is that you will win the bike at the last event, then receive a call sometime over the winter telling you that the program has been discontinued, leaving you with a sellable bike.<br /><br />-tBig Bikeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18303656141935863563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29631046.post-52947847561232141392009-09-11T07:43:10.543-04:002009-09-11T07:43:10.543-04:00So I can't put it in one of those "Cash F...So I can't put it in one of those "Cash For Gold" envelopes, send it to the refinery and wait for my check?CB2https://www.blogger.com/profile/01024419369112347720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29631046.post-85278365913673449412009-09-11T07:00:17.948-04:002009-09-11T07:00:17.948-04:00alec petro terrorizes you too?

"For sta...I don't think you can sell it.<br /> <br />"For starters, you’ll get the Golden Marathon Team or Zaskar Team. And we’ll help you defend it at the next race by flying you and a friend there, putting you up for two nights and giving you your own personal GT Golden Mechanic. We'll also give you a $250 Sugoi gift certificate and a Golden Race jersey. But most importantly, you’ll enjoy the fame and glory inherent in winning the Golden Bike. That is, until you lose it."<br /><br />So there it is you get "fame and glory" Typical. Not even "Frame and glory," but you do get the golden fleece and some money to buy some clothes.<br /><br />But there is the plus of two nights with a golden bike mechanic. I bet they're "freaky"Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232915730479619011noreply@blogger.com
