Yeah, that really helps him out, Borfo.
"Hey, does anybody want to go with me to New York next month?"
"No, but I'm going to Alaska in a week!"
"I hate you so much."

i hired the worst staff to work under me this summer! my assistant manager is super flaky and just sort of stopped showing up and stopped answering her phone, so i have to pick up the slack and work double time.

So... I'm riding out to TDF San Diego on the Friday before the event (9/28). Anyone interested in joining me?
I'm leaving from San Pedro as early as I can get motivated, probably 6-7ish. Could meet up with people in Long Beach if anyone is interested in rolling. Mellow pace, couple stops, self supported. +100 miles. Plan on getting a room Fri night, have F.U.N. all day Saturday and take the train back Sunday. Respond on this thread or call/text if interested.

I can tell you how much I appreciate these parties that New Belgium has put on for the bike community. Beside the Tour de Fat, the sponsorship of Pasadena Bike Week parties and other things they do for the bicycle community that I don't even know. The money they raise for the pro cycling groups. They even employee one of our own. I appreciate NB so much that I will more times then not purchase there beer over a flavor of a commercial brand that I prefer the taste to, just because of what they do for us. Thank you New Belgium.
With that said I really hope that if not this year, maybe next year they will have a new show for the participants of this party. How many years are they going to do the "would you trade your car for a bike" skit? I would guess NB are supporting and paying for the performers of this show. I'm sure putting on these events are not cheap. I hope New Belgium would start asking these performers to come up with something new. Last time I was at Tour de Fat, the ring leader (mc) of the show looked and sounded bored and didn't seem inspired with all the whole thing nor did most of the performers. It was like the whole show was just going through the notions. Not to say it not a fun and inspiring show, it is, it just been done, over and over again.

Hi Sexy! I get what you're saying. Doing the same show 10?-15? times a year, year in and out must get pretty boring. A new act would be fun. Having locals participate in ways besides riding a bike and drinking would probably help. It's gotta be hard to think outside the box when liability and insurance come into play.
On another note, wanna dress up and ride to San Diego?

Hotel sounds good. Let's make reservations tonight if possible. Train tix can be bought at the station. Getting eggcited!!
Also... Wanna ride the 5 or would you guise prefer camp pendleton? The 5 is shorter and smoggier. CP is hillier and you need ID + helmet. We'll probably get buzzed by traffic either way.
