That fence looks like the one out of Jurassic Park or something... and clean your derailleur!

Arby posts some damn fine art shots over on the commute board.... but I'll add one of my own here...

So, you're peeing on a fence (electric? - I hear that's a great buzz) but looking skyward. Just what is it you're looking at? Or, was it such a great relief that you were thanking (insert preferred deity here)? Enquiring minds want to know!

Although the barbed wires were above and below your middle, there is no way that I would get that close to barbed wire to relieve myself. But, you should know, that I refuse to go into the woods to relieve myself -- I do it right by the side of the road. I am extremely allergic to poison ivy and don't want to take any chances that some will brush my legs.

erm...first of all, that's not me in the picture.

and the barbed wire fence is put up to protect private property from squatters.

here's another pic of that fence...it's not as Jurassicy as you make it to be :cool:

and my fave piece of cycling art is at the bottom. Neeeehaaaa

If my bike's so fragile that I can't lay it down on the drive side, then I probably shouldn't be riding it!

BTW, do you like Arrogant Bastard or Double Bastard? Sort of similar to Dead Guy, but stronger.

Ryder Hesjedal in the time trial stage of last spring's NORBA National in Waco. Ryder is shy, unassuming and a really nice guy. We'll be seeing his name more over the next few years, both on the road and trails.

I'm basically in the same boat; central Kentucky. I believe only one county in Kentucky (the northernmost one, outside of Cincy) sells alcohol on Sundays. Crummy!

Send me an email or PM if you want a bottle of Double Bastard, I could mail you one.
