one man's flat is another man's nightmare. Flat, by my standards, means that there aren't a series of 6% grade climbs that go on for 5 miles at a stretch. but a few hundred feet of total elevation change along the course of a 50 mile stretch of road is flat. not Playa flat, mind you, but flat from a...

I-80 is open to bicycyle traffic between Sparks and Wadsworth. The interstate follows the Truckee River the whole way and is essentially flat. Wind could be a problem since you're stuck in a valley, though. Taking that route ensures a shoulder for the first half of the trip and a good potential plac...

I profess to know not what has been played on the Playa in preceeding years, but an appropriate selection occurs to me:

pinemom... in reference to brother itwazed... oh we will meet your woman! Perhaps you meant wom e n? The People will be represented by a most wonderful array of the fairer sex (all other things being equal of course). And they will most certainly arrange for your immediate DOOM if you do not please...

However...I will say you <i>were</i> talking straight out your asshole. Cynicism fixes <b>nothing</b>. Trucks are good but they're not very secure, and the tailgates as stock create drag which affects mileage, too. You have to fix that via aftermarket products; (often) flimsy canopies and vented ta...

that lunar grill thing sounds like a great idea (guess you'd need a really big magnifying glass or two to focus the moonlight?). Too bad there's going to be an eclipse. kinda shoots down the whole concept.

there are black Irish people and they can run for president? Life has progressed. Man isn't america GREAT! Sure, anyone can run. As long as they can find a party who'll put 'em on a ticket. And that will be Obama's undoing. When it comes right down to it, the Dems are going to do a reality check an...

or there's always my local fave for urban guerilla knitting: http://www.knittaplease.com/ i'm no knitter, but my SO is. She's in the process of knitting a few leaves in honor of our family members. Either i'll deliver them to the playa myself or i'll see to it that a trusted burner does. nevermind o...
