Nope. Not there. I feel stupid most days. Like the day I drove off with my helmet and shoes on my roof. Like the day I spilt beer down this keyboard so it doesn't always give you the right case. Like the day I heated ethanol with no gauze and a blue flame. But, as you say, that's pretty stupid. Let's hear it for stupid everybody! Andy Chequer, personification of, reputedly |

Not there. arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggggggg ggggggggggg ~CG Yup, been there, done that. I drove 30 minutes to the trailhead and no front wheel. I get back to my house an hour later and it's laying in the street where it fell when I drove away with it leaning against the side of my car. I've also left my front wheel leaning against my front bumper, which explained what that awful squealing/grinding sound was when I started to leave the trailhead parking area. Add those two to the incident when I tried to park in a covered space with my bike on the roof rack, and I think I've out-stupified you quite easily. But yes, thanks for making me feel slightly better. =) -John Morgan |

(I was very fortunate it happened in a neighborhood and not somewhere remote; people across street {who ride} saw it and grabbed it for me.)

This will make YOU feel better. I actually did the drive-into-the-garage-with-bike-on-the rack move the other day. I can't freaking believe it. After more than 10 years in this sport. Good thing I'm not a brain surgeon. --dt |

How about getting up at 5am, driving for an hour to get to your favorite
ride and discover that the chain you took off to clean is still in that mason jar with about a pint of kerosene to keep it company. Lets see, I've got 2 spare links in my camel back. Now I only have to find 50 people with two spare links they are willing to give away. Chris "Cinder Girl" wrote in message ... Then this should make you feel better.
