cycling trivialities

well i have officially made it on you tube. unfortunately its not for some great accomplishment but it was good old fashioned fun. the first video is me attempting a log that i know is beyond my skill and talent level. maybe this is something i will work on this year.




this stoopid video is a "to be continued" ...let the anticipation build.

I might never catch a mouse and present in my mouth

Fat Tire Challenge was my first race of the year and also my first time racing this event put on by the same people who do the Peanut Butter Festival. I managed to place 2nd. Not to take away from that but when i finally caught Shane (3rd) towards the end of the 24 miles course he flatted while we were exchanging places and the fourth place finisher Scott Root flatted multiple times. The fact that i finished 8 min behind Travis Saeler (1st) and i was the only one in the top six racing a single speed i am ecstatic. This is a picture i stole from Travis' Blog. The Fat Tire Trophy will have the top three racers engraved in it each year which i thought was a nice touch.. four sides to fill, plus a larger base could easily be added when that fills. looking forward to the next races... only one for sure now is the six hours of power which i will probably race with paula in the co-ed division.





In music news, i have listened to G Love and Special Sauce's new album which is perfect for the summertime brews and bbq's or frisbee in the park.

i was worse than a stranger

its late here and i just decided to post these two pictures. one of my personal record 5 month beard and the other of the mustache i am currently sporting. my first bike race of the year will probably be this weekend. of course i am nervous but looking forward to it.

the past couple weeks a lot has crossed my mind to blog about but now i am just thinking of sleep. happy friday.
