@frank Indeed. I just thought that after riding with a Keeper and seeing the principle rules on your shorts he would have had an epiphany. I am doing an organized century ride in So. Cal this coming Saturday. If I see someone in Velominati kit… »
@Joe Interesting masochistic cirlce of life you got going on there Joe! I punish myself by riding with a backpack of bricks for the crime of riding with a backpack of bricks… »
Interesting thread on Cervelo forum… Ok so it wasn’t me and it wasn’t Joe. Anyone wanna ‘fess up? Anyone? Bento box indeed…for shame! And you’d think Tyler would know better what with having rode with frank and all. »

@Joe There used to be a really cool Indian in Silverlake on Sunset called Tantra, Anyhoo if you don’t mind riding with a Brummie ( without the black country accent) and I am no great shakes as a rider I can tell you but I’d be happy to show you around t… »
@Joe Tinhorn Flats is a bar in Burbank, has a beer garden. There are a few god pubs in Hollywood, Santa Monica ( bit touristy) and dotted around the Valley. Where do you ride Joe? »
