Hills from Hell, with fatmarc presented by Uncle Jan.
Someone asked me why all of a sudden this ride had new life. I replied, "whose scared to do a hill ride with a guy named fatmarc?" he nodded in agreement.
I can't believe I'm saying this, because generally I don't enjoy the road, but I really enjoy this ride. It's fast, it's dicey, it's damn fun. Basically it's like this, on any given night you have 15-20 folks show up, of those folks I know that 14-19 of them climb far better than I do, and each week, you just throw it all out there and see what happens. The best climbers in our area, and well you know, me. It's really fun.
Tonight's edition had a pretty nice cast of characters: E-town, Dan the man, Jeff C, Wes the Conqueror, Uncle Jan, CZ, UD Rob, UD Justin, Rob (ntntamfmb20), Postal Dave, and Dr, Destruco (Rob C) and Matt (run forest) met us along the way to inflict a little pain and then rolled out. (hope I didn't miss anyone in my oxygen deprived state)
I got dropped on the wall, and blew sky high in the neighborhood. I stole a sprint or two. It was fun. It hurt a lot. I'll be back next week.
Jeff is riding for a team out of new york: DKNY, yeah that DKNY: doesn't get any pimper than this kit:

There were a number of UD alumi on the ride, we were all lamenting that there was no team when we were there, but we were very happy to have these guys along:
After the ride I stopped over to see Fort James. That's a lie, I was there to see his new daughter, Fort Isabella. She is beautiful:
I got to hold her. I love to hold babies. She thought I smelled badly, because of course I did.Dinner was fish tacos, and half priced nachos with Jan, Rob, Wes, and Monkey, who slipped out for a mtb ride earlier. It was very good.
stay in school.
respect.

*not sure why I feel like I've said this several times already today, but....*
babies ALWAYS smell worse than men.
...and fish tacos.
word life.
I think my cousin rides for "U of the D"
I love babies too, my youngest baby is now 12. Fort Izzy, great name man.
Suki - you rock harder than Gridnak.
James welcome to the Fatherhood club. She's cute.

your hood?
I did not check the map....
but University of Delaware and PA sounded like your turf
Congrat to Fort James. Also, thanks for taking E-Town back. During his New Jersey working vacation, he rode with us and kicked our asses.

cute picture of little isabella !
Wonderful picture of James and progeny. Couple of more night classes and maybe I'll take a stab at watching the start of the Hills From Hell ride..........and follow it down the road.
