    Best hard rock album of all time?

    I guess it boils down to what you consider "Hard Rock." Back in the mid 60's / mid 70's I would have nominated; Amboy Dukes - "The Amboy Dukes" (with Ted Nugent before anyone knew who he was) The Who - "Who's Next" MC5 - "Kick Out The Jams" (I might be mistaken on the album title though)...

    Liege-Bastogne-Liege

    If I had to vote for a guy with a lot of heart and spirit, I'd go with Danilo DiLuca. The guy will attack at the drop of a hat. The only downside is that he just seems to lack that killer climbing style of someone like Valverde. I'm not sure if Liqui-Gas is on the tour roster this year or if...

    Roadies - climber or sprinter

    I like the flats the best, I'm probably more of a time trialer than anything else. Downhill, I'm pretty much a speed junkie. Some of my highest memorable downhill speeds have been: West side of the Kancamagus: 54 mph Crawford Notch: 58 mph Franconia Notch before being relegated to bike...

    Spinnng, Yay or Nay?

    I did spinning classes weekly for about 4 months last winter. A lot depends on how they are led by the instructor. If it's varied enough that they incorporate some higher tension / low RPM stuff, then it's more effective. Too many of them end up being 60 minutes of 120 RPMs, putting you above...

    is a new discussion on nude hiking appropriate?

    I have no problems if you want to take the boys out for an airing. You've seen one nude guy (gal) you've seen them all.

    Summit Flag Raisings on 9-11

    I'm sorry that I missed it this year. After 3 years in a row, I had to break the streak due to some knee pain from running. Next year for sure!!

    Platform Hiking Sandals?

    ...and it's a little tricky getting crampons to fit properly! :roll:

    Use of non-standard spellings! My opinion.

    It makes you wonder how many of these words may eventually make it into the dictionary. I've been as guilty as anyone of doing minor "reconstructive surgery" to the King's English, mostly on web BBS's like this. Some words/phrases have become so commonplace that integration into the official...
