    Zappos.com worth buying from or not?

    In the case that this is isn't spam, I'm not aware that Zappo's ships outside of the US. I live in Canada now and my gf and I have both bought shoes through them, and we've had to have it shipped to a PO box in the US and pick it up.

    Whats the best beer you've had & why?

    Hi all, Long time lurker, first time poster in this thread. Have enjoyed reading everyone's thoughts on various beers, especially Fatman's opinions and very informative descriptions!

    Whats the best beer you've had & why?

    I'll second the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Sat down to a nice cold one on the couch after last night's toonie ride! If you can get your hands on it in Oz, I'd also recommend Deschutes Mirror Pond Pale Ale.

    CAN 2010 July - Whistler.

    Fire your travel agent mate. I'm not 100% sure about being bike friendly, but a few calls/emails should answer that. I think it'll be a safe bet that they will be more than accommodating given the length of your stay. Fairmont Chateau - http://www.fairmont.com/whistler Westin -...

    Official kentlyn thread

    I'm not jumping into the track debate as I'm moving back to Canada soon, but just so there's no confusion or assumptions, BlackCommoUte is not Adam from the bike shop (who also drives a black Commodore ute). I have spoken to him and confirmed it is not him.

    DH Diamonback aint crap!...

    I'm guessing it does, going by the nick on the top of the shock resevoir. Nice ride mate, but you might want to look into cutting your seat post back a little to avoid it hitting your resevoir under compression.

    Official kentlyn thread

    It doesn't take much to turn Kentlyn to sand yeahyeah! I haven't been out there in a few weeks so I might try and head out for an early morning Saturday ride before heading to Canberra. It all depends on when Andrew wants to leave as I'm catching a ride down with him. Have you found that cowbell...
