hasn't hit me yet

fixed gear or single speed? 42 x 16 should be nice. either way there will be losers. single speed or fully loaded touring , there will be hills. i guess i could just get on with it

59 days until ragnarok...

long have the sagas foretold of this twilight of the gods. the rooster will crow, the great serpent shall be be unleashed and the ship shall bust it's moorings.....after the battle asgar shall rise again from it's destruction

back to my reality:

• i have mainly engaged in the 'mental preparation'
• i have an adequate but not ideal bicycle for the trek
• i have been kicked off the team...as if...

too much time off the bike!

i'm getting that fucked up feeling. i raced saturday, took sunday off, rode monday and tuesday haven't been on a bike since tuesday night. so i guess i'm hooked again. i'll most likely be calling in sick tonight since the boy has diarrhea and i'm not feeling so hot either. should i go out riding once things get settled.... only time will tell when i can get my next fix.

gorilla cross = texas funeral

that's all i can say, hope i get enough whiskey in me....texas whiskey

The most popular brake for 'cross has traditionally been the old Mafac "Racer" brake which has been around for decades. It features brake arms that stick out almost horizontally from the brake boss. Designed at a time when there were no mountain bikes around, this brake works very well with road levers.
