Hey you know, I know that I don’t suck. I appreciate all the kind words folks had for me. I was a bit down Saturday, but in the scheme of things, watching slick rick have convulsions from laughing do hard at Old School really helped to put things into perspective. The pumpkin party was a huge success. The copious amounts of fine Belgium beer sure seemed to help too. E-town, Jan, and Rob need to meet Buddy. The thing is about this blog, about me, is this, I’m a pretty passionate guy, I rarely do things a little bit. You can count on me to give 100%, and I use this blog as a means to express myself. I try not to over think things, just blurt out what’s on my mind, and express what I’m feeling. That's my excuse for bad spelling and grammar. I want to express myself, but not over edit or polish my 
thoughts. Yeah, I pimp my sponsors, but even try to be so over the top at that, that it’s kind of funny. ( I heart twin-six;spot;fort;henry's and howard at bL) I am after all just some dude, who likes to race his bikes, and is hooked on cross. So yeah, I was a little bummed out Saturday, but I was damn lucky to get away 
as easily as I did. I could have easily broke something and had my season over. So yeah, I’m still not happy about it, but I am over it. Having good friends, great people around me sure helps. On to Granogue and Wiss. We have a full house this weekend, and lots of racing; it's gonna be great.

It's not a shame there are no mulligan's in bicycle racing, in football you get 4 downs to get 4 more downs until you can score, In baseball not only do you get 3 strikes until you have to go sit down again, but you also get 3 outs as a team, in bowling if you miss all of the pins the first time you can try again and take the rest of them out, in Hockey you can play rebound after rebound until you finally wack that fucker in the net, but if you are too passionate about the game you are told to go sit in the corner for 2 minutes or so until you calm down and play nice with everyone else, Golf, well, it's golf, it was made for cheaters and we all suck at it, that's where the mulligan comes from for shits sake, even board games give you another crack at being a rockstar, like the get out of jail card in Monopoly, But bicycle racing, there are no do overs, none, one and done, that's the mantra, do it right the first time and if you don't succeed, well there's always next week, or next season, that frustration, that passion, well, it's in everyone who races, even in people who don't race anymore, it's a mindset meant and suited for people who thrive on painful physical activity, someone who doesn't mind literally falling on their face getting up and finishing just to say they could, but even if you don't always finish, at least you put your suit on and showed the fuck up and competed. Bad days are Mother Natures way of reminding us who is boss out there. Everyone who knows you is on the DL with a rough day at the races....some of us have been there, once, twice....or 20 something times :)
CHIMAY!!!

See, you processed it, you are moving on. Well done. We have very similar philosophies regarding our blogs/online journals.
Life is good.
Cyclocross is good.
Belgian beer is very good.
