Guru Fitting System
Dorel, the parent company behind Cannondale, Schwinn, GT, Mongoose, Iron Horse and Sugoi purchased the Canadian brand Guru last year. In doing so, Dorel was able to bring into the fold a new fitting system based around what might be the most sophisticated fitting device on the market, the Guru Dynamic Fit Unit. We got a look at the Dynamic Fit Unit at Interbike and had a chance to see the basic process for taking someone through a fit.
During the Cannondale team introduction I had a chance to go through a fitting with Colby Marple from Guru. The Guru system offers two different levels of fit, one for production bikes and another should you want to have a custom bike (say a Guru) produced to your personal requirements.
The fitting began with me being scanned by a Kinect unit. Yes, Kinect as in Xbox. As it turns out, Guru's lead software developer was one of the original developers working on the Kinect unit. The Guru software includes a database of production bikes and their geometry. Based on its scan of me, we were able to choose a couple of different bike models and it quickly showed how neatly I fall between the 56 and 58 sizes.
The Dynamic Fit Unit (DFU) is the real heart of the system. Quick release clamps allow for easy swapping of both saddles and handlebars and the cranks can be adjusted to provide riders the recommended crank length.
For those familiar with the latest version of the Serotta Size Cycle, one of its big selling points is the ability to use an electric driver to make handlebar and saddle position adjustments while the rider pedals. The ability to move smoothly through a range of possible reaches, bar heights and saddle heights is one of the two biggest advancements in fit methodology of the last 25 years, the other being the rider flexibility assessment. I had one of the original Serotta Size Cycles in my garage for about a year and I'd use it to experiment with my fit. The difference between getting off the bike, making an adjustment and getting back on vs. pedaling continuously while the bar or saddle moves is the difference between the Dewey Decimal System and the Internet. It's just no comparison.
Where the Guru DFU differs with the Serotta Size Cycle is that servo motors in the DFU unit make precise adjustments based on keyboard inputs by the fit tech, resulting in changes of higher precision and performed at greater speed. But that's not all. Supposing you like your bar position relative to your saddle height but you want your saddle to go up a centimeter. The DFU fitter can make the two changes simultaneously. Similarly, say you want to try a slightly steeper seat tube angle, the DFU can simultaneously raise your saddle and bring it forward while also dropping the bar and moving it forward in order to preserve the saddle-to-bar relationship.
Wait, that's not all.
The full-on Ginsu pitch is that the fitter can rock the full position back to simulate climbing on almost any gradient in order to allow you to experience what that position will feel like on Mt. Shootmenow. And if you're getting a mountain bike fit, you can be swung forward to simulate an ultra-steep descent to get a feel for just how much weight you'll have on the bike's front wheel.
My view is that a fit system is just a tool. From the gear to the methodology, a fit system is just a tool to do a job. In the hands of someone with minimal training, it might not be a very effective tool. However, in the hands of someone like Cyclologic's Paraic McGlynn or Bike Effect's Steve Carre, the DFU is the most powerful dynamic fitting tool I've encountered. This thing could make a great fitter as formidable as Peter Sagan is in a sprint.
My session resulted in a fit that I'd be willing to put my faith in. It differs from my current fit by less than a centimeter in saddle height, while the bar position was more than a centimeter higher with roughly the same reach. I should mention here that because I move between a number of bikes on an ongoing basis and between as many saddles, I've grown immune to small differences in ft. I had to learn to put up with changes in my fit from bike to bike, even when I've gone to great lengths to replicate my position exactly. Exactly just never happens. Because I've managed to ride well on a number of bikes with slightly differing fits, I've come to believe that when someone (be it fitter or rider) starts to get fussy about that last millimeter they are failing to understand the inherent adaptability of the body. And I write this with the knowing admission that I've suffered problems at the hands of bad fits by alleged fit experts.
I think part of the genius of the DFU is that all the rider has to go on is the feel of the fit. With no stem to look at nor the visual cue of seeing the drop from the saddle to the bar framed by the bike itself, all you can really go on is the feel of sitting in the saddle and reaching for the bar. When the original Serotta Size Cycle was introduced I was skeptical that a good fit could be achieved by a fitter simply listening to feedback from the rider. I was perhaps right to be suspicious of the original iteration, but today it's an approach that makes terrific sense. It does require that the person being fitted talk a lot about what he or she is experiencing as the key to a good fit is communication, but even a relatively quiet person can get a great fit from a good fitter. The best can see unwanted muscle tension the way poker players can suss out tells.
Finally, I'll grant that it might be a challenge to place your faith in this approach until you've experienced it. I learned to give a lot of feedback as either the bar or saddle is moving: no, no, no, not bad, okay, yes, yes, errmm, nah, no, no, no. It was interesting to me that Colby had the same reaction to my feedback that Steve Carre at Bike Effect did. They both noted that they saw an easing of tension in my shoulders just as I started to say "yes."
Again, the Guru system is just a tool, and that goes double for the DFU. However, in the hands of a great fitter I think the DFU has the ability to help a fitter arrive at a result that the client will believe in. Why? Well the dirty little secret of fitting is that the single biggest challenge a fitter faces is getting the client to not just adopt the recommendations, but to stick with them long term rather than switching the bike back after a ride or two. The DFU provides an experience that makes the recommendation one's own, not some outside piece of advice. When I was first trained as a fitter, recommendations were made based on a set of tables the correlated to the rider's personal dimensions. The process was effectly: here's what you are, so here's what your fit should be.
The DFU, more than any other fitting tool I've encountered, upends that convention by making the fitting a matter of self-selected comfort. That might seem obvious to the point of naive, but really a proper fit is fundamentally a function of comfort and who can better know your comfort than you?
An Evolution in Fit
I've been fit by more alleged "masters" of the bicycle fitting process than I care to remember. What I'm even less interested in recalling are the specifics of some of those fits. I'd prefer not to have had the journey, but along the way, I've seen—and learned—a lot.
One Italian frame builder took three measurements of me while I was in a cotton shirt and chinos as I stood in his booth at a trade show. Net result: The bike was gorgeous, handled like water flowing through a pipe and was at least one centimeter too big, and that left me too stretched out. The measurements of my "custom" frame also coincided with his stock 60cm size. I'd committed to buying that frame set; the day I admitted to myself that I needed to sell it, that it would never really fit me, was a sad one.
Another fit master, one who is known as an LA fit guru wanted to put me on the smallest frame anyone had ever suggested for me, a 53. That was perhaps the biggest (smallest?) bullet I ever dodged. I tried riding the bike around his parking lot. All the while he was beaming, commenting on how flat my back was. He had the largest supply of 14cm stems I'd ever seen. Little wonder.
I've had other fits that looked more or less right to most folks. One recent one resulted in a saddle height that was more than a centimeter too high; it looks ridiculous to me to write that, so I respect it must look even more ridiculous to read that. I got into that pickle because of a decision I'd made years before, that I would fully commit to whatever fit I was placed in and not begin monkeying with it a week later.
It would be easy to look in from the outside and pronounce these machinations silly, for someone to conclude that they'd never get caught in such a trap. There were times when I'd look at a change and think, "Okay, that last fit was definitely off; this one is what I need." But the fits I had were never so far off as to be glaring errors—a fish in a Coke bottle.
What was interesting to me was that over the years. almost all the fits I gave myself over to were never far from that first fit my boss at The Peddler Bike Shop gave me with the Fit Kit in 1989. Later, I attended the New England Cycling Academy, where I was certified in the Fit Kit. In 1992, that was the most thorough course going in fit. Later, I went through Serotta's early program, and even had the first generation of the Serotta Fit Cycle in my garage for the better part of a year. I've been around a number of different fit methodologies for a long time. There have been times when I was bombarded with so many different fit ideologies that it felt like rush week at a big university.
Despite the variances in my own fit and the conclusion I drew, which was that none of the fits I'd received over the previous 10 years were quite right, I do think the state of bicycle fit is vastly better than it once was. The worst fits I see on the road (and on mountain bikes) are invariably riders on bikes that were sold more than 10 years ago, often closer to 20 years ago.
I'm preparing to write about at least two custom bikes in the next year. As a result, I decided I wanted to get my fit reviewed and for that I decided to go to Steven Carre of Bike Effect in Santa Monica. There are a bunch of very talented fitters in the LA metropolis, so making the choice wasn't easy. I selected Steve in part because I respect the fits I've seen coming out of there and in part because of the number of custom bikes they are selling.
Steven's approach intrigued me in part because he's spent time learning most of the major approaches to fit. He is certified by the Serotta International Cycling Institute, Retül and Specialized's SBCU. Of course, you can have all the fancy gadgetry that drug money can buy, but still not know what you're seeing. That's what made my experience with Steven different.
I'm not as fast as I was in 2003, but my flexibility hasn't changed significantly in that time, which is what makes his results so significant. In many regards, I'm the same cyclist, but not all. I've lost height because my spine has shrunk. Those details are easy enough to diagnose. It's the other details he caught that everyone else had missed: a slight leg-length discrepancy, but one that is not skeletal in nature; a pelvis twist that causes me to sit on the saddle not quite perfectly straight; and unusual back flexibility that allows me to ride fairly low even though my hamstrings aren't all that flexible.
Steven diagnosed the changes to my fit he thought would be most helpful in short order, but he took me through a couple of extra steps in an effort to be super-thorough. He set up the latest generation of the Serotta size cycle with my current fit. This latest version of the size cycle, if you haven't seen it, looks some ultra-advanced spin bike, like BMW had entered the exercise-equipment market.
Honestly, when I first saw it, it looked over-thought, the proverbial better mousetrap. And then Steven did something simple, something amazing, something simply amazing. He took an electric driver and began moving the handlebar away from me. With the original Serotta size cycle, you could set it up in nearly any fit you could imagine, but to do so, the rider had to dismount the bike and then remount it. With the new version, you're able to make adjustments as the rider is pedaling and the electric driver gives the fitter the ability to make smooth, gradual changes.
With that electric driver Steven was able to move the bar forward and backward, from Obree Superman to kid's bike. He did the same thing with bar height, taking the bar from English 3-speed to pursuit bike. We took a couple of passes in each direction and I'd tell him how I felt periodically, doing my best to indicate when the bar's reach and height felt most comfortable. In an effort not to influence the process with any opinions of my own I looked forward as he made changes.
Steven told me that with each pass I was consistent in where I indicated the bar was most comfortable. Not only that, Steven noted how my upper body was less tense in the new position than it had been in the old position. More relaxed means more miles without discomfort while riding in the drops.
Before I went into the fit my fear was that he would move the bar up. Part of my concern was that I would need to add spacers on forks that had already been cut to length, and on top of that was the challenge of making sure my fit didn't conflict with manufacturers' guidelines for the maximum length of spacers between the headset and the stem. As it turns out, Steven moved the bar back 1cm and down 2cm. That was a surprise.
Because my saddle came down a centimeter as well, on a great many production bikes I'll be moving from something in the 58cm top tube range to options in the 56.5 to 57cm range. That will prevent me from having to run 10cm stems, which make the bike a bit more twitchy than I'd like.
We made the changes in stages, moving the stem by a centimeter every two weeks and the saddle by a half centimeter. I've been riding with this new fit on two road bikes (I changed my mountain bike fit as well) for four months now. I can say that I've got more power in the saddle now and have enjoyed greater comfort in my shoulders on long rides.
I've had several different offers to be fit with various systems lately. While I'm curious to know more about the processes, I'm reluctant to let anyone else work on my fit. Reluctant the way I'd feel were I to face a firing squad. I played along for a long time, but as I age my body has become fussy. I may not be the old cat laying in the sun just yet, but experimenting with my fit has the potential to reduce how fun riding is, and in that I just don't see the point.
Risk vs. Danger
A slice of Tuna Canyon only a mile or so from Las Flores Canyon
Saturday morning on Rapha's Gentleman's ride in Santa Monica rider Robert Hyndman died. Robert was descending Las Flores Canyon Road when he crashed. There's been a fair amount of hand-wringing and Monday-morning quarterbacking about this tragedy and as a result, I've decided to weigh in, if for no other reason than my years of experience with those canyon roads.
Let me begin by saying that I consider Slate, Jeremy, Derrick and Gerben at Rapha all friends. Double for Alison and Steven at Bike Effect, the studio at which the ride originated. What I'm about to write is as much for them as it is for anyone who has never ridden the canyon roads of the Santa Monicas.
Of the many mountain ranges around the world graced with roads suitable to cycling, the Santa Monicas are unusual in that no other range of mountains has more magazine editors within 50 miles and had less written about them. I penned the only survey of those mountains I know to have been published by a bike magazine. A few years ago I wrote "Malibu: Heaven has mountains" for Road Bike Action. And yes, I declared that the Santa Monicas were my idea of heaven. I also declared that riding the canyon roads above Malibu is far more challenging than riding in the Alps or even the Pyrenees. I believe if you can descend those canyons, you can ride anywhere, even the roads of the Chartreuse and Vercors, which are themselves more difficult than the actual Alps.
Every year the event promoter Planet Ultra puts on a ride called the Mulholland Challenge. At roughly 110 miles and 12,000 feet of climbing it is one of the hardest rides I've ever completed. Say what you want about La Marmotte or The Tour of the California Alps (Death Ride), hitting a kilometer-long pitch of 17 percent at the base of a 7km climb once you've got 75 miles in your legs can humble almost anyone. Each year more than 700 riders enter the Mulholland Challenge. The event (it sits somewhere between a gran fondo and a century) has had its share of crashes, particularly on the descent of Deer Creek Road, but no one has ever died.
My sense of empathy suggests that Steven, Alison, Slate and co. may feel some guilt over Robert's death. It's hard to have a heart and not feel some burden of responsibility. However, the Gentleman's Ride was not a bad route. It was not a dangerous route, though it contained some risk.
If we conclude that the day's route was dangerous, the logical outcome of that is all future Rapha rides in Los Angeles will head north on Pacific Coast Highway and then turn around at some pre-arranged spot for the trip south. Believe me, it can be good riding, but it's not the same as being in the canyons.
Entering a turn on Tuna not unlike the one on Las Flores at the center of the controversy.
To be a cyclist is to live the balance between risk and danger. I define danger as something likely to end in a bad outcome. Mount Washington averages 12 percent; as a result, no one is allowed to descend it. Were you to try, the odds are that you'd crash from too much speed or blow a tire off the rim from too much braking; there's no real room for a middle ground on that road. Risk, on the other hand, is what we face every time we go out for a ride. There's always a chance that we could be hit by a car, wash out in a corner or encounter some other bad event. The difference is that with reasonable care we can avoid a rotten outcome most of the time.
Think of every road you've heard a cyclist has died on. It would be ridiculous to conclude that in each instance in which a rider encountered a mishap—nothing involving a car—that the road was too dangerous to ride on. It's true that Las Flores is a challenging descent. It's also true that Robert had considerable skill; the point at which he crashed he could not have reached without having previously exercised both skill and judgment. Corollary: Last year's Gentleman's Ride descended Tuna Canyon, easily the most difficult descent in the Santa Monicas, the most difficult descent I've ever encountered, the only paved descent that has ever scared me. We got down that without an inch of lost skin last year.
In criticizing the course of the Rapha Gentleman's Ride as too difficult, as dangerous, two injustices are committed. First, we dishonor the memory of a strong and skilled cyclist. Accidents happen. I can't say exactly what took place that day as I wasn't there, but I've dropped down that road dozens of times and I can attest that there were days when I couldn't have gone wrong and other days when I just didn't have it and wished I was taking another route down.
The second injustice is the denigration of a spectacular land formation. If I were to define my idea of heaven with the terrain of one spot on earth, there's no doubt that I'd choose Malibu. The views from atop its vistas rival anything I've seen. Better yet, I can ride there year-round. I'd hate to think that people would avoid the roads above Malibu because of one cyclist's misfortune.
What I've learned of Robert's family and friends is that they are taking solace knowing that he was engaged in the world, riding with family and friends that day, that he died doing one of his favorite things in the world. Though I never met him, the simple fact that he drove up from Orange County to do a Rapha Gentleman's Ride means he was on the lookout for new adventures. This guy was certainly one of my peeps.
For each of us there came a point when cycling ceased to be just a way to have fun and became an expression of challenge, a way to embrace new difficulties and to elevate both skill and fitness.
A good friend of mine wrote that while people have lionized Robert for dying while doing what he loved, he thought dying on his bike was "a shit way to die." I can't disagree. I'm sure his parents ache for not having a chance to say goodbye. When I go, I don't want to be on my bike; I want to be surrounded by my family. Ultimately, I think what resonates with people is that in dying while doing what he loved, his death illustrates that he tried to live his life on his terms, that he wasn't some couch potato. The danger is that romanticizing this accident is no better than letting a fear of that road prevent us from riding it.
I've made mistakes before and crashed. I'll make mistakes again. The last thing in the world I'd want my error to do is cause people to avoid exciting roads. I can't speak for Robert or his family, but the example of his life suggests that he would endorse getting on with the business of living by putting ourselves out there and we achieve that electric thrill no one will ever get from the TV.
The greatest service we can do our fellow riders is to remember them accurately, to ride with the care that will keep us out there, to remain clear on the difference between danger and risk, and to keep that sense of adventure alive.
The Studio
One of my favorite studios is Velosmith in Wilmette, Illinois.
I've always been a nut for great retail operations. In junior high it was hobby shops. High school and college was music stores and record shops. Next came book stores and bike shops. My love for them is the love of potential. Inside each of those places are models to build, books to read, records to hear, drums to hit, bikes to ride—good times waiting to happen.
I've gotten harder to please, though. Most record stores don't carry much that I want to listen to, unless I'm in the mood to fill my back catalog of Led Zepplin or Deep Purple. Book stores? Seems all the titles I go looking for I can only locate on Amazon. As I don't play the drums anymore (God, how I hear their siren call) and haven't the slightest interest in building models, that leaves bike shops. And the bike shops that most excite me are the studio operations. Small in scale, precise in product lines, manned by consummate technicians and providing the ultimate in service. They are the purest example of what I was taught the best in bike retailing should offer. Pick your lines and go narrow and deep.
I've visited fewer than a dozen studios, though not for lack of trying. I simply haven't made it to some of the markets where they exist. However, the studios I've visited, as different as they are in expression, they all sing the same song, and if you've ever heard Miles Davis' version of Cindy Lauper's "Time After Time," then you know just how diverse interpretations can get.
First and foremost, I like studios because they've taken a stand. That is, they've drawn the proverbial line in the sand to say, "This is what we're about." Their product lines are few, their stock, light. Further, they usually don't have the capital to deal with one of the big bike companies. They are retail insurgents.
Most studios I've visited have three, maybe four different bike lines, max. They have one or two clothing lines—three if they offer a shop kit. Same goes for shoe lines. The fitting area is always integrated into the overall layout of the space, rather than a corner of the shop where a rack of clothing can be rolled out of the way while one of the wrenches sets up a trainer. That's one of the biggest signifiers of a studio—they celebrate optimal fit.
Derrick Lewis of Rapha introduces the company's two new films at Bike Effect.
This weekend Bike Effect in Santa Monica celebrated its one-year anniversary. Derrick Lewis from Rapha came out to show two new films from Rapha, one "The Rapha Continental" which showcases the far-flung exploits of the Rapha Continental team, and the other on Dario Pegoretti, called "D'Acciaio" (of steel).
As part of the celebration surrounding the studio's one-year anniversary and expansion into a neighboring suite, Bike Effect hosted a Rapha Gentleman's ride. Unfortunately, on the descent of Las Flores Canyon Road, one of the riders, Robert Hyndman lost control of his bike and crashed. He lost consciousness in the crash and died a short time later at the hospital. His brother, who was on the ride, told Bike Effect co-owner Steve Carre that Robert died doing exactly what he wanted. He was an avid rider and loved riding the steep roads around his home in Orange County
Mentioning the death of a rider in a piece ostensibly about studios and not meant to be an obituary or other tribute to a fallen cyclist might seem a bit odd, but to me it helps to confirm one of the best features of studio operations. They don't so much have customers or even clients as extended family. To succeed, they are required to help build community, however they define it. News of Robert's death shifted the mood to a much more somber tone for the Saturday evening reception, but it got people talking about what they valued, how much cycling mattered in their lives and how many of them hoped they could be so lucky as to go doing their favorite activity.
Most people in attendance that night hadn't been on the ride. I'd missed it because I'm still recovering from that damned flu. I'm well enough to be out, but the cough tells me I need to keep my feet off of pedals. And even though we hadn't known Robert, if he was on a Rapha Gentleman's Ride, then we had a certain measure of the man. He was one of us. Our hearts could wrap around his family's loss and envy his brother for all the rides they'd shared. Somehow, we struck a balance, celebrating both a business and a life we believed in. Somehow, the intimate space allowed us to discuss how the possibility of death is a risk we accept every time we throw a leg over the top tube, but the tone was neither callous nor resigned. It was simple acceptance. As we often say: There but for the grace of God go I.
Because the ingredients that go into a studio are as varied as the books on a shelf, it's impossible to say what is necessary to make such an operation a success. Is it the service? Certainly in part. Is it the knowledge base? It helps. Is it the coffee? Can't hurt. I think the real key is what I just mentioned—community. In creating a space that caters to the lifers, we're more likely to bond with it. Such a small operation is all-in. It's a position most of us took years ago.
An Afternoon With Cyfac
Any time a shop breaks the routine of business as usual, I get curious. It's easy to put your head down and spend your days concerned with inventory turn, how many bikes were built and how fast those repairs get picked up. So when someone takes the time to bring in a representative from one of the brands they carry, I like to check those events out.
Bike Effect, the studio in Santa Monica, brought in Eric Sakalowsky, one of the owners of the French bike manufacturer Cyfac. I've been hearing about Cyfac and reading about them for years, but have never written about them, mostly because until I've had a chance to talk with someone at the company, I don't feel like I have a proper feel for what they do. There's nothing like getting the story from the horse's mouth.
Bike Effect has invested in Cyfac in a big way, making them one of their marquee lines, along with Serotta. I spent some time with Eric, learning about how his involvement came about (he had been their North American distributor and dumped his other lines to buy into the company), just how intimate an operation it is (they have 15 production staff) and how they manage to produce custom carbon fiber frames (more on that later).
To woo prospective clients Bike Effect owners Steve and Allison served up fruit, cheese, cracks and wine. It made for a relaxed atmosphere and it wasn't long before I heard people talking specifics about sizing and colors.
Eric (left) and Steve discuss what makes Cyfac, well, Cyfac. Eric and I are working on an interview that will run as part of the Artisans series at peloton. Though the company offers a number of different models (I lost count as I studied their web site), the ones I'm most interested in are the top-of-the-line carbon models, the Absolu in particular. Though the tubes are produced in Taiwan, every other aspect of fabrication occurs at Cyfac's Loire Valley headquarters. The only reason the tubes are produced overseas is because they haven't been able to source a French producer capable of meeting their needs and they aren't yet in a position to do it in-house, though from my conversation with Eric, it sounds like they may be headed that direction.
Each customer who purchases an Absolu gets a book documenting the creation of their frame, from the mitering of the tubes, to the masking for the paint job—Cyfac uses no decals. Honestly, I was stunned to learn that they often have more hours invested in a paint job than many manufacturers put into the building of a frame. And while you'd think such devotion would make such a bike unaffordable, they are competitive with other top shelf brands.
Cyfac's custom work offers incredible flexibility to the client. Not only can they vary the sizing, they can vary the geometry, so that if you want something that fits like your beloved Seven, but descends like your old Moser, you can have that in custom carbon. And say you want it as stiff as your old Merckx built from Columbus Max tubes, you can have that as well as they can vary just how stiff the tubes are. It's a level of customization some companies said we would never see.
I look forward to learning more and reporting more. I'll try to present some reviews as well.
The Rapha Gentlemen's Ride, Los Angeles
Bike Effect is a new bike studio in Los Angeles (Santa Monica, technically), one of only two in the city and the only one on the west side. Owners Steven and Alison are also the place to find Rapha clothing in Southern California. On Saturday, they hosted Slate Olson and the Rapha Team for the first-ever Rapha Gentlemen's Ride in L.A.
It was the perfect opportunity to see the full Rapha line in person. Pieces I'd only dreamed about were on display in every color available. With plenty of coffee and pastries (they had the best croissants I've had in L.A.), roughly 50 riders fueled up for the coming ride through the Santa Monica Mountains.
Steven (approaching the camera) prepares for departure.
The Rapha Team bikes were gorgeous wonders to observe. This Sachs belongs to Jeremy Dunn of Embrocation Cycling Journal.
Soren of BMC with Butch Balzano of SRAM's neutral support program.
Alison and Steven introduce Slate to the crowd.
Our man Lanolin, the brains behind Ritte Racing.
The big climbs of the day were Topanga, Fernwood and Saddle Peak, followed by the descent of Stunt and the climb up Piuma and Schueren and back over Saddle Peak before the final drop down Tuna Canyon.
Naturally, there was a bit of curiosity concerning just whether or not a ride on a gorgeous day in SoCal could constitute a Rapha ride. Those concerns were alleviated when it began raining on the descent of Stunt. Based on appearances, there were plenty of people used to wet, but not used to wet and downhill at the same time.
Riders collect at the intersection of Stunt, Schueren and Saddle Peak.
Butch (with his back to the camera) provided support to the ride and changed out more than a few wheels.

Houston's ONLY Classic Rock
Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 2:41 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2013
*NSYNC's Joey Fatone is disputing a report in Star magazine.
The tabloid says he 36-year-old boy band member is separated from his wife and high school sweetheart, Kelly Baldwin.
"They pretend Joey is traveling for work, but really he just stays with friends," the gossip magazine adds that they're trying to keep their struggles quiet for the sake of daughters, 12-year-old Briahna and three-year-old Kloey.
Joey flat out tells omg! Insider, "We're still married … kids are great." He, however, did not say whether they are separated or not.
He adds that he just took a long vacation with his wife and kids. Joey, who was on a high from the *NSYNC reunion says, "When you're on top, people try to knock you down."

Stolen English bulldog puppy recovered; two arrested
Photos: Saga of a stolen puppy ends in two arrests
A valuable English bulldog puppy that was stolen from an Elmwood Park pet store was found dehydrated and malnourished but otherwise unharmed in Warren County on Friday after an anonymous tip and social media photos led police to the alleged dognappers.
The puppy, named Blackie, lost 1½ pounds in the three days since he was stolen from the Aquarium on Route 4, said Lt. Michael Foligno of the Elmwood Park police. The dog weighed just 5 pounds when police rescued him from a house in Phillipsburg, Foligno said.
Thomas Meshach and his girlfriend, Carmen Fucci, who is seven months pregnant, were arrested by the Phillipsburg police at 8:30 a.m. after Elmwood Park authorities identified them by matching store video surveillance footage with Facebook pictures and state Motor Vehicle Commission photos, Foligno said.
Police received an anonymous tip from someone who recognized the couple in surveillance photos from the pet store that clearly showed their faces and which were widely distributed by media outlets.
The couple intended to keep the puppy, which had a $3,500 price tag, as a pet, Foligno said.
Meshach, 24, was charged with third-degree theft and Fucci, 21, was charged with third-degree conspiracy to commit theft, Foligno said. A judge set their bail at $5,000 apiece with no option to secure their release by paying 10 percent of that amount, he said. They were being held at the Bergen County Jail in Hackensack Friday night.
Blackie, who is expected to fully recover, is no longer for sale. Joe Aversa, the owner of the Aquarium, said he intends to keep the puppy as a pet.
"His personality just won me over," Aversa said. "I figured the little guy went through hell already."
The suspects were identified by pet store employees Thursday night in a lineup of social media and motor vehicle photos of the couple, Foligno said.

2do's todos are a doozie
Having recently converted to Android from my iPhone 4, I have been very happy with the range of apps to replace what I had on iOS. In many cases, I'm finding the apps better. The Android ethos seems to be more about function, rather than design and aesthetics. However, one area where I've found the Android to be lacking is in respect of the "todo" category.
Don't get me wrong, there is no shortage of "todo" apps. However, they seem to be lacking in the features that I want – well one feature to be specific. They don't allow you to create todo lists within a list. They only seem to provide two heirarchical levels – namely, "categories" and the "todos" themselves. Whilst this may serve most people's purposes – I assume it must, otherwise, todo app makers would have implemented the feature (surely) – for me, having many levels of hierarchy is important for the way I work.
When I was an iOS user, I had found the perfect app for managing tasks – 2do, made by Guided Ways Technologies. There were two killer features of this app that I loved. First, you could create projects and checklists within a category. This meant that I could organise my "Work" tasks within the framework of "projects", rather than lumping everything willy-nilly under that ubiquitous category. Secondly, you could add tags to tasks (yes, I know every task manager allows you to add tasks), such as people or words and then (and this is what's cool) create persistent folders based on tag filters which update as you add new tasks. Whilst many todo apps have similar features – for example Astrid (now) allows subtasks, and you can save filters, it doesn't have tags – none of them, that I've seen so far, have all of them.
The sad thing was that this app wasn't in the Android Marketplace (now "Play Store") … until now. 2do has finally been ported to Android, and I'm very pleased. It's a pay app – it was on iOS also, but I don't mind, because it's a damn good app, and I'm happy to pay for damn good apps.
2do has all the other features you would expect of such an app, including priorities, desktop sync, due dates, start dates, notes etc, etc. However, if you want some pretty sophisticated management of your tasks – and if you're using a task management app, you will probably be into organising stuff – 2do seems to be streets ahead.

'Total Recall': Remember this? ★★ 1/2
In the opening seconds of the"Total Recall"remake, the words "original film" appear on the screen, referring to a production company calling itself Original Film. So before it even begins, the movie delivers its first inadvertent joke.

The name......Meteor Shower.
The cover....... A white background with a dead lilac bouquet.
The blurb....... I don't know.
The first page, well I'm gonna say the first page is usually the preface, so the preface........... " Hurting wasn't possible for a while, but I assumed it had to come. Happiness lasts for a limited amount of time. And that wonderful time - That was mine - was slowly fading into the bottom of my much abused hour glass. He had no idea. They had no idea. And she had no idea. As I scrunched my head into my knees hoping tearless cries meant something. The sober and serous idea of a wonderful fight, was turning into the drunken, silly event of a slow and painful death. All I could hear was broken off screams, shattering glass. And grunts of the murderer. I knew it was my turn now. And nothing was holding it back. " And it will have 27 chapters.
Well it's the same characters as always, but 3 new ones.
William, a vampire who ran away during the battle in Eclipse. He was a admirer of Victoria and seeks revenge of the Cullen's.
Grace, a long lost friend of Alice's who ends up being attracted to Jacob.
Antony, a french human who spies on the Cullen's and has a story much like Bella's.
The story, Its about the Volturi overhearing that Nahuel killed 15 humans and made a scene of it. So they asume Renesmee is bound to do that as well. While life is happy in forks, not so much for Bella. She knows all of it and is protecting her daughter, while keeping it from the others.

It will be impossible for them to do that so I think we will have a few tough nights and drop a couple of games but I am now confident that this team can get it done and make the NCAA tourney.
Yep, this thread has just been pwned.
Seems to me that Clyburn still has plenty more to give. Liked the way he took the ball to the hoop toward the end of the game. Clyburn wanting the ball in those situations, playing aggressively, and then making the free throws will be key this season.

I actually believe he should have had a T each game for the last several games. It's not a happy event, but he's deserved it for a while. I get that it looks like this was to a KU player. When you start to get a rep for talking, I'm not sure it matters. He'll overcome that. His first foul after the T got a better reaction (and a quick trip to the bench to make sure).
Since we are an elite team now, let's go get that One Cyclone Moment. Make this one for the ages! http://rememberingdoria.wordpress.com/

An Illinois family was rescued from the waters of Lake Michigan off northwest Indiana Monday. Indiana Conservation Officers responded to a 911 call of 4 individuals about a mile off shore in Porter County, east of the Port of Indiana. Conservation Officers arrived on scene about 12:30 in the afternoon finding all four floating in life jackets in six foot or higher waves. Conservation Officers say they were able to safely remove Savino Garbuno of Plainfield and his three children, who were all in the water about one hour before they were rescued. Officials say the children, ages 7, 12, and 14, displayed initial signs of hypothermia. They were transported to the Portage Marina where they were met by the Portage Fire Department and Emergency Medical Service personnel, and checked and released. The Indiana DNR says a bilge plug was missing in the hull of the man's boat, causing the hull to flood, making the watercraft unstable and inoperable.

"Gary (Smulyan) is great, he is just fabulous. Gary is a master!"
--Jimmy Heath interviewed by Jazz Inside NY Magazine
Gregory Porter will be joining Artist-in-Residence, Gary Smulyan, in an Artist Talk on Saturday, August 10th from 4:45 - 5:30. On Sunday, August 11th Gary will host a talk with Papo Vazquez from 4:50 - 5:20. Gary will also be the host of several live interviews over the weekend in between our Mainstage acts. Check back to our Artist Talk page for a schedule!
Check out this great 2012 interview between A-I-R Gary Smulyan and Festival PR & Marketing Director about artist talks & clinics, Gary's roots in the jazz world and more. Click HERE to read it.
Gary Smulyan, baritone saxophonist and bebop master, is one of the major voices on his instrument today. He is the undisputed King of Baritone Sax. With six Grammy's under his belt and perennial "Top Bari Sax Player" in every poll every year, he's tops in everyone's book. But it's not just his amazing playing that makes him such a treasure—it's his imagination!
Gary got the jazz bug early in high school sitting in with artists like Chet Baker and Lee Konitz. After college he joined Woody Herman's Young Thundering Herd. In 1980, he became part of the Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra, and then worked with the Mingus Big Band and the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra. He has shared the stage and studio with Freddie Hubbard and Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz, Chick Corea, Tito Puente, Ray Charles, B.B. King and Diana Ross. With more than 10 CDs as a leader, he works regularly with Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, the Joe Lovano Nonet (with whom he appeared on the 2011 Litchfield Jazz Festival), the Dave Holland Octet and Big Band, tenor great George Coleman and the Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band. He is a faculty member of Amherst College and joined the Litchfield Jazz Camp as a teaching artist in 2011. This is his second year as Artist in Residence at Litchfield Jazz Festival.
This year marks Gary's third appearance on the LJF. His Baritone Summit features Lauren Sevian, Claire Daly and Andrew Hadro on baritone saxophones. This great quartet of baris will be backed by the rhythm section of Helen Sung, piano, Jon Michel, bass and Matt Wilson on drums.
Gary Smulyan is the 2013 Artist in Residence for the 18th Annual Litchfield Jazz Festival.
Head over to the Baritone Summit profile to learn more about his performance on Saturday, August 10th at 3:30 PM.

Hey Guys. I think this affects users from CLARO in Paraguay as well. My iphone GPS stopped working when I upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2. I tried everything. Disabling 3G, deleting settings, restoring without jailbreaking, with jailbreaking. I then upgraded 2.2.1 and the GPS still did not work. I thought that it was definitely a hardware problem. But then I saw this thread which I know is only for Egyptians iPhones. But I decided to give it a try anyway. I replaced the locationd file with the patched one. Restarted and voila! The GPS was working again!. Super happy. I am now downloading os 3.0 and will upgrade it and see if the GPS keeps working after that.
This is really weird as I know users from CLARO in Paraguay and their GPS work perfectly. But somehow mine got blocked. If someone has a clue how this might have happened please let me know. I posted this so other people googling for the same GPS problem with CLARO might find it. Thanks a lot my egyptians friends your work helped someone here in Paraguay as well.

I upgraded to firmware 3.0 last night and I could not make the GPS work again. It now shows the blue ball but with a big circle around many blocks. I tried it outside with a clear sky. Obviously from cell phone towers. One thing to note. Right after I upgraded to OS 3.0 it asked me to download new carrier bundle settings for Claro Paraguay. I downloaded and updated the carrier settings before trying if the GPS worked on firmware 3.0
Can someone please post a working locationd file for firmware 3.0 for testing purposes? I am almost sure that this will fix it as it worked with firmware 2.2.1 after having my gps not working for months. Please help!. Thanks a lot
In the meantime I will try restoring firmware 3.0 from scratch.
It did not work after restoring 3.0. I am sure that the locationd file is the problem as I was able to fix and get a working GPS when using the egyptian patched locationd file under firmware 2.2.1. Can someone please patch or help me patch the locationd file on firmware 3.0?? Please help guys!! Thanks a lot
Need the pstch for v 3 too.GPS fail after upgarding.
Its my first post here. I live in Egypt the last years but I am Greek.
I wait a new iPhone 3g unlocked from my country the next days.
From mobinil and Vodafone eg, I can't have serius informations about my question.
I want to know if I must use for first time my iphone with a greek sim card or with my mobinil card.
I am afraid that if I use mobinil maybe i_tunes block the gps of my device.
I can't understand what they make here?
I know very well that now egyptian Govermant allow gps and all symbians and windows mobiles work weel with gps.
I have also an HTC HD PPC and I use gps with real navigator programs (mireo black and iGO8 3x).
What is the reality in Egypt after the new OS 3.0 update. Work or don' t work gps at the iphone?
If no what is the reason from the moment Efyptian Govermatt allow gps?
Any upddate?
I try to learn the reason why until now mobinil and Vodafone keep banned the gps.
Like we know Egyptian Govermant allow gps for mobiles.
All mobiles with gps they make navigation 2 months now. NOKIA, HTC.
Vodafone sell HTC Diamond2 with gift the Mireo Black Navigator.
Only iPhone continue banned.
So I made a call at customers service, I told them all these and because I am not Egyptian they tried to give me an answer.
They told me that gps will be allow when start to sell the new iPhone 3gs.
I asked why? at all the world it is ok after OS 3.0 and i-Tunes sell Navigon program. They had not answer.
But every one can understand they do this because they try to have more sells at the new Iphone.
I can't understand this logic.
So I didn't buy iphone from Egypt. I order it from my country and will be unlocked because in my country the low don't accept locked devices.
I will have gps and I will can use internet like I want without stupid data plan.
You know mobinil data plan cost 125EGP and give you only 100MB and 500 free minutes.
I don't need the free minutes, I need more MB so as to have my mails at any where.
So I will continue with my business acount, whitch it is free from my company and I will use the 5MB/day they give with 1 EGP for web or wap browsing. It's meaning I will have 5X30days=150MB per month for 30EGP.
I need just my mail and updates for weather. I have wifi at my office and my home. Also all cafe they have internet.
I can do it because my iphone it is unlocked so it will take the APN automatic like made before my HTC HD.
I think Egypt it isn't ready for the new generation of mobiles. Of course the cost talk/minute it is chipper than every other cauntry but they don't want to give real good data plan like in america or europe.
Can anyone help us with the blocked GPS on our 3.0 iphones??? Please help unlock the GPS in firmware 3.0 hacking locationd. I would be willing to make a small contribution or donation for an unlock and I guess a lot of people with blocked GPS will want to contribute as well.

XXVII IUSSP International Population Conference
26–31 August
"Improving maternal health through sexual and reproductive health rights awareness and life skill based training: Experience in Bangladesh"
Farhana Rahman, Ubaidur Rob, and Aftab Uddin Ahmed
Studies conducted in Bangladesh reported a high maternal mortality ratio for the past decades. Approximately 80 percent of girls become mothers before they reach age 18. Lack of knowledge on SRHR among adolescents and lack of skills for empowerment are two major factors responsible for this low performance in maternal health sector.
To improve reproductive and maternal health of UCEP students by providing SRHR education and life skill based training to delay marriage and subsequent childbearing.
Intervention area
Providing SRHR education to 4 UCEP school students. Organized FGDs to assess the need of SRHR education in the save intervention area.
Intervention process
The study was conducted by using SRHR manual for the students with a pre- and post-test survey. The findings suggest that knowledge and attitude of adolescents has changed significantly and those who received the education are more knowledgeable on safe motherhood compared to those who have not. Both vicariate and multivariate analyses identified several key factors which have influenced their behavior.
Considering the importance of SRHR education for adolescents, UCEP-Bangladesh engaged their students in SRHR education and life skill vocational trainings to reduce early marriage and economic dependency.

Not only has he announced that the sequel to his "2001 Maniacs" remake has the new title of "2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams", he has also released three new pictures from the movie. The most important items of note is that Robert Englund has been replaced by Bill Mosely, and Christa Campbell in a milkmaid costume.
In quite possibly the oddest news of the day, The Weather Channel has announced it will be adding movies to its channel lineup. Starting out with a showing of "A Perfect Storm" on Oct. 30th, the lineup shows that it will be a weekly string of weather themed movies. Most notable to us horror fans is Stephen King's "Misery", because of the snow.
From the unexpected and unwanted reboot desk comes word that a script for a new "Crow" movie has been turned in and the studios dig it. Written by Stepehn Norrington who helmed "Blade", the movie is said to not be a remake but a whole new character.
Dread Central has posted a slew of new "Stan Helsing" clips, and I still remain unexcited!
An alternative Denver newspaper is hiring a new reviewer. In particular, they're looking for a writer to review the state marijuana dispenseries and their products. Good luck getting them to meet deadlines.
The King lives on through expensive hair. Elvis' hair, chopped from his head upon his enlistment to the US Army, fetches $15k from a recent auction. Someday, the hair that's quickly making its exit from my own scalp will make me rich.
1836 – Sam Houston is inaugurated as the first President of the Republic of Texas.
Although the film doesn't come out till February I'm going to come right out and say it, I've got "Wolfman" fever. We're two trailers in now, the second of which was recently released and can be viewed below, and I can't find one fault with the film. Alright maybe the wired Gallum looking kid is kind of crappy but my love for kick ass wolf transformation shots outweighs my extreme hatred for all things "Lord Of The Rings".
Take a look at the brand spanking new images and trailer below and post up your thoughts.
This movie is... weird...
Who could kill a child? Turns out most of us, pretty easily in fact.
