    What if a soverign wealth fund cut out all the RE middlemen (banks, RE agents, ratings agencies, etc) and rolled their own?

    Ahhh, I do so <em>love</em> SWF's. I'm sure you'll find <a href="http://www.petersoninstitute.org/publications/interstitial.cfm?ResearchID=902">this</a> scintillating reading.

    Economic Models for Home Prices

    The New York Times asked economists across the country to share the data they use to figure out how much houses in regional markets are overvalued, a calculation that approximates where the bottom may be. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/09/business/economy/09bargain.html?em">Linky</a>...

    The <em>NY Times </em>has a feature on the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/10/fashion/10bikewars.html?ref=fashion">conflict between cars and bikes. </a> The 7 C's have had their own close calls this summer. Anyone else have a story to share?

    ~ The IHB, 7 Circles Cycling Club information, upcoming events and Post-ride reports thread ~

    <strong>Saturday August 9 @ 9:00am - Tour-de-Backbay</strong> We'll meet at San Marco Park which is on Harvard between Alton and Main. Nobody will be dropped, except PeterUK. Showing up late or being named Vic obligates you to buy coffee after the ride. See you there!

    Tour-de-Red Rock Cycling Adventure: A Special Report

    Putting aside PeterUK's rather fanciful account of the ride, I do have to give him credit for knowing how to treat the ladies. The whole trip was first-class, from the accomodations, to the [whining] and dining. He should probably retain his man-card for that. Although, given his pineappling...

    We arrived safely and in <em>style</em>. Nothing but the best for the 7 C's! <img src="http://profette.smugmug.com/photos/344374874_HrNMj-S.jpg" alt="" /> The hotel even had Boddington's on board! <img src="http://profette.smugmug.com/photos/344374942_h9zvG-S.jpg" alt="" />...

    What Gym does everyone go to?

    LMAO! You and your partner are welcome to join the 7 C's on our rides. You'd fit right in. Although, I prefer the hoppy brews. <img src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_CGYQGxEMolw/SCI3G3orngI/AAAAAAAACP8/jZctoYPZZIE/s400/PIC-0132.jpg" alt="" />

    7 circles members... I need your help

    Hmmm, aside from the fact that fixie riders wear pants belonging to siblings, how does one distinguish between these two bikes? They both sound kinda FTL to me.

    7 circles members... I need your help

    "They have no brakes and run via a direct drive mechanism?no slack-legged freewheelin' for our well-heeled trendy types, just a lot of arse-over-tit skid stops and plenty of more-fashionable-than-thou looks at the stop lights, assuming they bother to stop at the lights. And that's kind of rare...

    What Gym does everyone go to?

    LOL. Thanks for the clarification. We have some of those types in cycling, too. We call them dopers though. You should join us for a ride. Do you have a road bike or a MTB?

    Ladies' Night!

    Ladies' night was a blast, and quite a workout. I highly recommend it, but don't be fooled by the pony tails and trashy cat jerseys. These girls mean <em>business.</em> Our average speed was 22 m.ph. The pink peloton charged up hills like Vande Velde on the attack. The ride concluded with cold...
