I've never really had the urge to head south in Germany because all the
listed trails are >3m. However, might be worth doing with a decent guide...

Greg, pull your nose out of the pubic hairs in JD's asshole.
You don't even know what the real argument has been about,
even though you have been chiming in from the start. Aside
from the backslapping among you and the other circle
jerkers, the dispute has little to do with good mountain
biking....the dispute is much more about two views of the
sport. [/B][/QUOTE]

Which is funny because that is specifically not what the "dispute" in this thread is about, but what Dan V. automatically concludes...

But it gets better....



Which is too funny considering he's never ridden a singlespeed, proclaims that SSers are slower that geared bikes (however that happens) and is about the only one that really actually contends that there is a SS group.

But if even gets better as Dan revs up the generalization machine...



Which is really funny since Dan obviously doesn't realize that the same SS subgroup that he professes to know so much about (never mind the fact that he hasn't ridden a SS) typically rode all sorts of geared bikes prior to settling in on a SS and fully realize that simply because a bike is "dialed in just for them" doesn't make the bike any better than a POS bike that you just love to ride for the sake of riding.

In fact, Dan probably couldn't comprehend someone having a super lightweight race frame with custom wheels and gobs of carbon bits attached it hanging in a garage for the past couple of years because the owner favors an absolute piece of **** bike that they enjoy riding more, bu I digress....


Dan concludes his foray in to stand up with this little nugget of irony...

First, this gem from TbF:



Ah, perhaps he finally gets it. After all, this is exactly what people
have been telling him in this NG since he started posting here. Then
again, I'm sure he still contends that you can't truly enjoy the sport
without racing and measuring your VO2 max and determining your min/max
heartrate and measuring your intake (most people call this food) in
watts in order to be like that guy from Texas.......

Thanks for the laughs, guys. It made my final day of the work week
a good one.

Ken
