Jack replied to Daniel Mirzakhani's discussion 'The Phase Wants to Feed You Real Food'"I am not being sarcastic, cynical, insulting or dickish with this post, but I do not think the message was posted with enough clarity for people to avoid being leary of the message you are trying to get out.

That distance is perfectly fine to ride a regular road bike. I would also argue that if you aren't going…"

Jack replied to Chris C's discussion 'Stick a fork in it'"You can put a fork in Snowzilla, but the winter of 2010/2011 is still lurking... Keep the mittens handy for a couple more months.
