geez the forum is getting good. the pustule; eileen’s sister the epic catch who need a really good man… to fit her; the four bars of bad whistling in search of a song title; we’re in a good groove.
makes me want to fix a date for the fixa. maybe sometime in march? is the 19th/20th a weekend? is this a good date?
I thought your place got washed away in the So Cal floods (and you were using the river through it as an infinite pool)?
Good reason for you to go and improve your swimming.
That’s the weekend of Ralph’s California HIM. Being a relatively local event, I think there may be some people who would like to visit your digs but are doing the race. Me, being one of them.
Dang Dan,
That weekend is booked for me and my GF. Doing the Monterey Bay Half-Marathon (GF is preparing for Big Sur).
Chris
I agree. I’ll be at Ralph’s and would love to come checkout the compound.
That won’t work for me, I’m in Oceanside watching the race.
How about the 25th/26th… the start of the HS I coach at’s spring break… maybe we could do another Mt.Palomar “race” too!
Fixapalooza?
A festival devoted entirely to converting trusty steeds into fixed gears?
O.H M.Y G.O.D …
Dre’
Yeh? What is a Fixaplooza anyhow?
“How about the 25th/26th… the start of the HS I coach at’s spring break…”
i’m just fishing for dates. 25/26 seems okay w/me at first blush. how’s it with others?
fixapalooza: a weekend where people come up, camp out, tents, whatever, bring bikes, i break out all my tools, stands, etc., and i help you all get your bikes in top working shape for the season and we ride and run everyday, sat/sun, maybe fri as well. maybe a few industry people come up, i don’t know. probably a few pros on the property training, etc. but, i’m not working on your bikes, YOU’RE working on your bikes. i’m just giving advice and lending tools you might not have.
just for kicks… 25/26 is Easter… unless you’re eastern orthodox
ill be back in TX anyway… extending my cali time after ralph’s a little bit but not out to a week
That won’t work for me, I’m in Oceanside watching the race.
Aren’t you at the Sunny AZ Camp then? Or are you going from there to AZ?
Say, that wouldn’t be a bad trip. Ralphs (to watch), Fixapalooza (fine tune the aero fit), then off to AZ.
I’m flying out on the 25th and staying until the 3rd already, so either of those weekends works well for me… I could bring some people from the STL probably
Hey Dan,
Too late for me, I’ll be back in cold, snowy Canada. We are heading out your way next week. We’ll be in Cali from the 15th of Feb till the 25th. I was wondering if there was a day that would be good for us to swing by and use Xantusia as a base of operations for a good training ride. I emailed you a while ago but I probably got lost in the thousands you get. Let me know if one day is better in that time frame of us to come out and visit. Thanks, and sorry I’m going to miss fixapalooza!
Aztec,
I’ll be going to Oceanside to see Sergio race and then we’ll comeback to Phoenix in time for the start of the camp. Why don’t you come down to watch the race, looking at the start list it’s going to be a blast! I have a bet going with Sérgio that he will be behind Lessing for more than 30mins, LOL… 
Francois M is racing Ralphs?
Nah, you’re seeing things
.
I will definately have to come up and cheer you and Sergio on!
(ps: TT helmet has been ordered)
it’s dumping down rain right now here in SoCal, my TT got cancelled this morning, luckilly there is another one tomorrow, and it will be dry.
"i’m not working on your bikes, YOU’RE working on your bikes. i’m just giving advice and lending tools you might not have. "
Dan, my bike mechanical skills consist of changing a tire and cleaning my chain. Is fixapalooza an event I can come to and learn more or is it going to be way over my head?
