Anybody???
I know, but I had to look it up. I'll let somebody else who might already know claim the glory.

I was out for a rip and seen about 150 bikes parked at a gas station with a local radio station's banners everyplace. So I wheeled in, ate a few free hotdogs, drank some free ice coffee, and got a free tank of fuel paid for by CycleWorks. Thanx guys, I hate you slightly less than I have since '85 when you F'ed up my crank trying to change a perfectly good bigend bearing. And now I know this happens every Tuesday at different locations around town, I will keep hating you less and less.... just keep the free food and fuel comin'. :mrgreen:

Got to shoot the dodo with a few guys with interesting bikes for an hour as well. And seen about a dozen helmets fall off handlebars and bounce around a parking lot....
No Witnesses.... :shifty:

Your close B2C, it's the baseline marker set back in 1855. All surveys in Kansas, Nebraska, most of Colorado, Wyoming, and South Dakota are measured off this marker. This picture shows the sign on the road. The obelisk is about 100 ft above the sign, on the bluff.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Yes, I hate to take the cage when I have a perfectly good bike sitting waiting to be ridden. The problem is a sore foot which will limit my ability to have a stable bike when I stop, :roll:

That and the fact that it snowed in Calgary last weekend...

It's a Steyr M9/A1. A nice addition to my locker.
I demand pictures of said locker's contents.
