Please stop with those stupid pictures

What ?
I think that they are in the spirit of the post race.
By the way Niya, you had a space between your What and your question mark.
What?
Like that.
Now if what? was less than 4 characters long then you'd have to add a space.
Like no!
no !
The one thing I prefer about internet explorer over firefox is that in IE you can use Alt + S to submit a quick reply

I didn't intend to be here this week, or the next couple, but it didn't work out the way I wanted. I set off on a 1000 mile cross-country bike ride, but yesterday afternoon, six days and a few hundred miles into it, I was faced with the inescapable realization that I didn't believe the bike was going to survive the trip.
When I'm hiking, it's all on me. There is little that can break, aside from me, and most everything can be managed. I've hiked for months on a broken bone, and many miles on a sprained ankle. There are injuries that are incapacitating, but fewer than one might think. However, when it comes to a bike ride, it isn't up to me. I'm dependent on a mechanical thing. I did what I knew about to prepare the bike for the trip, but there were things I didn't do, largely because I didn't know about them. For example, I didn't realize that a steep mountain road descent, where speed isn't an option (too windy, too rough), will put such heat on the rims that the tubes would melt using caliper brakes. So, I need to switch over to disc brakes, probably with oversized rotors, to handle the heat stress of such a heavily loaded bike on some of the nasty hills I'll encounter. There are a few other changes that will have to be made, as well, but I've lost my window of time, so I'll finish that trip next summer and do something else this summer.
