Episode 155: my united states of whatever

sometimes life as a rock star is pretty tough. Take Friday night for instance. Monkey and I went out to a book store, bought a simple book, and were simply mobbed as we tried to exit the store.
this was after midnight too!
Since I am on a little mental break this week, I decided to not ride this saturday morning, kinda like I decided to not ride this entire week. In looking at my training log, I think this is the first Saturday in 2007, that I bagged. So instead, I went down stairs and did a bunch of this:
Yes, those are snowmen on my boxershorts. Later in the day, Diane and I went to DRG, which is a nice place to climb, not our normal haunt, but it was good to switch things up a bit.
We ran into Rotten Rob who was pretty pumped about his day of track racing with (i)Paul.
Afterwards, we grabbed a quick bite to eat, and I showed everyone my pecker:
Sunday, I decided to noodle around with the boys for a little bit, nice and easy, not that I am capable of much more than that right now. Since Meanie Greenie, and the gay UPS truck have earned a well deserved rest, I was riding what I lovingly call, the bastard son.

Unfortunately when riding with these guys, noodling is seldom in the picture. They are freakin' fast.

They were going much faster than I can/want to go. My head was spinning.

Still it was great to ride with these guys, what a great group that I have the privilege to ride with. I am pretty damn lucky. This guy was feeling it today, but was kind enough to roll off the back and hang out with me for a bit.


pretty nice weekend if you ask me.
now I'm off to pick crabs with my family. sweet.

I don't know about fat, but you are looking a little pudgy in your new header picture. I guess that's an old picture. You don't look like that now.

Good luck on your 3 week bike tour. I hope you brought the bastard son. Those mountains might be steep.
