A) I bike alone...

B) Its winter here. We get a few hours of warm and no wind intermixed in a bunch of crap. Any rides for the next 3-4 months will be spur of the moment deals

C) My climbing buddy is leaving at the end of the month, oh ya and the thing about the **** weather...


I've considering grabbing my receipt, scribbling my number and leaving it on the counter....

By the way, since I am the new guy and Stijn has his name mispronounced so much I will offer up my name FWIW. Maximilian Sluiter. Most people try to make Sluiter harder to say than it is. It is Dutch (the ui like that Huisman guy who races Supercup). I pronounce it like Slooter. My Dad's father's side is Dutch. His mother's side is German. My mom's side of the family is mostly German.

How about a handbrake turn in the 944? Chicks go crazy over handbrake turns. They try not to show it but secretly...

Lovely. Freezing rain. But it does clear up with a high of... 34.

I have ridden my bike with ice on the road and frost all over the plants here. The shaded areas of the canyons don't see much sun at all during the day, especially during winter. Cold mornings like that sting your hands and face pretty bad. It gets to where your fingers are numb and you can't make them move well enough to turn a key in a lock.

Well send it to Rick. He will fix them up in a hurry if you tell him you have a chance to score.

I've considered adding her, but I think that would be a bit creepy stalkerish. I'm trying to figure out how I should get her attention though....
Why not try the nude walk in.

I've ridden a motorcyle in the snow, I know all about the wind burn on the hands and face.... Its not pleasant...

And I have a hard time breathing during heavy exertion in the cold. Seriously hurts my pace running or biking.

I've got all the parts to fix the 944. Just got get it all back together this weekend. Autocross the 11th

Well how much have you talked to her already? Does she know your name to the point of somewhat remembering it? Or are you pretty much starting from scratch?

Maybe you should post pics and let the Brotherhood of Stijn decide how to proceed.

Doubt she knows my name. I usually pay cash so she hasn't seen it on a receipt, etc....

And like hell if I'm going to post a pic.
