I just like the weekly contest because it gets me to play all the games that I never play. I don’t mind coming in last haha Edited March 27 by a3quit4s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaia Gensouki | 1,075 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I'm still recovering from a cold, so there's not much going outside for me right now. Enjoy it for me too. Instead I played some more Balloon Fight and finally got to phase 20. I could do some more point pressing later on and I think I missed the bonus in one of the later bonus levels. So there's still room for improvement, but I'm not sure if it's worth the grind. But we'll see. There's still three more days to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently on a Trek 700 Multitrack Hybrid that is basically a tank compared to what you're riding, but it works well for what I do which boils down to "road and trail." I've also got a no namer that I Frankensteined and use as a single-speed trainer. I also have a mountain bike that I haven't used much yet that is probably very cheap since I got it for next to nothing and it says "Fear Factor" on it with a picture of a Tarantula.... + a few other old fixer uppers waiting for me to get at them any day now. That Fezzari looks slick as can be. I used to have a pretty sweet road bike, the make/model of which escapes me now, but it would have been light enough to chuck one-handed. Kinda wish I'd hung onto it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda wish I'd hung onto it... The fezzari weighs 19.xx lbs, it is all carbon frame/forks and is soooooooo fast, i was doing 42.8mph down a hill and averaging 15.x mph on the paved trail i ride. I'm gonna be going off road for the first time tomorrow on my mountain bike. Hope i don't crash and burn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
