Quote (&Pic) of the Day

"I say hurl. If you blow chunks and she comes back, she's yours. If you spew and she bolts, then it was never meant to be. "

Chicago

Heading to a wedding in Chicago this weekend. Pitchfork Music festival too.

If you are wondering why there are no pictures from racing or riding it's because I haven't been able to ride for more then a day in a row without a tremendous amount of fatigue. I've been going through all kinds of random treatments to get the adrenal glands going since my iron and hematocrit are fine.

So its one day at a time. Lots of rest. Boring.

Big Wheels

Boulder has a weekly unofficial, unsanctioned cruiser ride on Thursday nights that starts right down the street from my house. I've gone a few times, but this week was different. While I was eating dinner on the porch I heard the ride by ringing bells and yelling Happy Thursday, and the ride usually passes in a few moments. My focus shifted back to my Gazpacho and realized people were still riding by so I went out to look and saw this


That is about 1,000 people riding around on the pajama themed Cruiser night. Amazing.

Also, never ride a big wheel with a phone in your rear pocket. You will for sure break it when you skid and fall over. Not that I know.

My Independence

Riding the Peaks Trail, by mylsef, because I can, and I didn't want to ride with anyone else. Nothing personal. Because its more fun then my road bike and I still get a really good workout.

Running into Dave, who's from the east coast. His two dogs made the ride interesting while we shared a section of trail.

Finally getting my picture with the happiest man alive. About this time last year, I saw this guy skipping up the side of the road. He is a really happy dude. Coincidentally I am now a happy dude. So that's cool.

Overheard in Boulder.

Michael: Some f-ed up dude next to me in the coffee shop just asked me "if I could print out a map...to hell" for him.

Don: Send him a map of Camden, NJ.

Happy Fourth of July

Yup, right on time. It's a Hadley Farmhouse Flashback.

Whitey is a master with fire building.

Aaaannnd for the record, that is me in a bathtub with a fire underneath it. I thought that one up, for better or worse.

Mr. Pigglesworth met an untimely demise with a handful of Blackcats and a little gasoline. Thanks a lot Pat and Andy.

Chris "The Pineapple Head" Kirkpatrick was also destroyed. Its OK though, he wasn't that great of a singer anyway.

Lady Liberty was spared such an indignant passing and was simply eaten.

What can I say, we had a great time.
