PrintHappy Birthday Chris! I hope you have a fantastic birthday today, Thursday November 19th. How is the weather up there, maybe you will get a chance to get in a good long bike ride, and your wife and kids will feed you cake. Yes, cake on a birthday is quite a treat. Cake, and a bike ride, and maybe some presents, yes, presents on a birthday can be a nice surprise. Let's all join in together to wish Chris a Very Happy Birthday today! (And thanks again for keeping Podium Cafe a fun place to visit.)

Happy Birthday, Skipper.
You’re one year closer to regular prostate exams (at least “official” ones). ;-P

I am of the age where obsessing over health stuff is socially acceptable. Let’s put it that way.

all I know is when I woke up
the (very old) nurse asked if I cycled as I had nice legs (she didn’t mention my butt)
Moo
That must have cheered you up no end!

I certainly appreciate it.
It’s nice that he has such a large family here at PdC.

That is funny. Makes me feel old too.
Although I think I am older than Chris.

Happy Birthday Chris! This year our gift to you from the cafe is
we’ll let you win the VDS competition for 2010. Right, kids?
Er, says who?!
2nd place is the first loser!

Are you saying you are going to be near the second place?
What do you fear most?
1. coup d’etat
2. putsch
I play to win! ;-)

I hope Crashdan’s visit hasn’t left you too hungover to enjoy the day. ;-)

Nice. You sprung for the tubulars.
Too bad there wasn’t enough left over to upgrade the brake levers…floppy cables is sooo 2007.

Hmm, but it should have some glittery flashes like the Pinarello Dogma methinks

Thats what I was thinking.

Yeah, really.
Every year on my son’s birthday I think, “30 hours of labor, and HE gets the cake.”
It was just a long race--Edvald Boasson Hagen, on the Giro
30 hours?
Jeepers Christ! That’s longer than Gav takes to write the Wednesday Session.
I mean uh... hasn't that ever occurred to you, man? Sir?
Hehehe - you're such a good sport ;-)
But wading through all that Italian conjecture might be right up there with labor. Don’t sell yourself short.

Maybe she's waiting for a piece of B-day cake.

Happy Birthday
May your new year be filled with great rides and memorable spring classics.
No horn, watch for finger.
Happy B-day Chris
you have the same birthday as Larry King, whom I believe turned 154 today.
Look, it's a bird...no, it's a plane....oh never mind it's just fucking balloon boy
And
Richard fucking Virenque. Charming.

Well on the bright side you share a birthday with an American president
namely the great…..James Garfield…so yeah.

Does this mean the Sesh will come out Monday?
I mean uh... hasn't that ever occurred to you, man? Sir?
