Yackmoninov can definitely shred...some carrots, cabbage, onions, and celery and make a slaw with that downtube.

That's not a cheese cutter, it's a garrote. 

Whitey...Saturday is a BIG day...green jersey coming down to the wire...you are probably getting all nervous about it and understandably.  Let me put your mind at ease...I'm going to slap on the 50 mm carbon hoops and you are welcome to ride the Sling for big race...you can't possibly lose... you're welcome

Oh hey, check it out, anyone want to do this next Saturday 8/12?

Or you could [gasp] race.

Well I got up late and headed out solo,
on the low road in Demerest a deer ran out in the road , quickly followed by its fawn , I breaked and the so did the deer ,it slid on its cleats ,straight into my front wheel , what I quickly realized , a dog was chasing the young deer , it tried to escape into the house on my left but the dog wouldn't give up and with no way out the garden ,the two of them began running back and forwards across the road until the dog pinned down the deer and was biting its neck , all the time several motorist were  trying to get the dog of the fawn,
crazy scenes , the dog owner looked shaken , but then walk back over to the kids play area , I didn't hang around , but if I had a kid in the park , I'd of scattterd

Did you go down?  Did the wheel survive?

When I was riding back through Englewood this morning, I saw a doe and a fawn.  I feel like I've seen so many that sooner rather than later, one will run across my path, and, for that reason, I usually have a feeling of high alert and dread for those few seconds when I realize they could bolt into me.

BTW, saw Will, Wrongway, and I'm spacing on the third Kissena coming south on River Road while I was heading north.  Guess some folks got out early.  I was out late and only had two hours.  

@JP... Will, Sebastian, Ricky, Greg and I were lead by Giacomo on what I would call the Tenafly Pacman ride—Giacomo has linked together a perfect storm of McMansion climbs in order to simulate the GMSR Queen stage. What you saw was us three (Ricky) escaping. 

sad Yacks...had to surf mud all by his lonesome...

I'd sort of come to an almost stop so,i didn't go down, and the wheel is all good  , just bumped the stem round  

I'm planning on riding my cross bike on Saturday, here 
https://www.traillink.com/trail/old-croton-aqueduct-trail/ and back to brooklyn
I've not been before , but figured i needed a change of scenery 
Anybody and input ?

anyone crossing gwb this weekend?

Sunday I'm in.  Looking for something similar to Giacomo's Fun House of Climbing, Bear Mtn (I'm down to take the train up too), etc.

Would like to start earlier side.

weatherwise Sunday looks good. Giacomo floated going to Bear and back. I could also do a more climby route up to Bear, do Bear, then take the train back (after burgers + beer).
