Rock star weekend
















Lots going all weekend then came work . I am still trying to figure out what that is. Actually I hate to admit it but maybe 6 months off dose freshen up the batteries and I am enjoying the work and peeps. But trust me I wont get to carried away and ask for full time back. Oh hell no....





I practically rode the wheels off the 29er up and down an around. It seems to rode well to . I went up my friends off Big Flat Saturday after putting a mark on Blue Mountain that I'm pretty sure it didn't feal. They have a little timber space so we decided trying to blaze some Mt. B trail in, well good thought but right now after 3 hours busting a move on many rocks and a billion pine needles it wasn't to evident we had done anything. May some day after many blisters some chosen words and many cold ones.....





Saturday off to the play Rabbit Hole which was well done but pulled on the hart stings to the point of teering, don't tell anyone of my sensitivities K....





Sunday back to the black top in a little tour the French town, up a new loop Tucitac over to 93 , this is a nice extra maybe 5 miles. Then finished with the sweet Pattee C climb and now the legs are a bust this Monday so only a commute to work. My damaged little piggy hurt some even ridding today oh ye that's another story to end Sunday wit ha bang or broken toe. It's all black and blue and twice the size. Teach me to do toe head on into the corner of a wall. I must of bean oblivious from all the sun and fresh air. No amputation yet. Have a good week each and all...

Another week

Oh yea one more week in the books. For those that are steady work grinders these days my hat is tipped. I am still try in to fit this work thing into my schedule but oh my it;s in the way of that nomadic no care ride when I wont do what I wont way of life .
It was really on the frost bitten side this last week right or is everyone in the northwest just numb from all the cold days ? I out side finally on Wednesday but remember I am the spoilt wimp from the south. This dose bring the southern pull back in a biggy way.
Great bright spot of the week was getting my new Felt Elite Nine. Hey I hadn't even rode one of these 29ers i just jumped with peeps research and comments on this bike being the bomb. It is and more. After picking it up at open Road were the crew had created it out of the box with it showing a few druel marks from who knows. Are team NRO got a great deal with sponsorship from the shop and all the other great sponsorship help from all our other support .....
So I headed to Blue mountain trails which was golden with primo traction and other than a huge horse divie here and there and the horse ka ka thats like doge the poop trials at times it was all good for 3 and a half hours cause i just got carried away. This 29 er thing is for real and I would highly recommend it for that next splurge with the next stimulus serge... take care all and spring is maybe sprung............ Yessssssssssssss...

From Chill to descent to the chill again
















All rightie then the Frozen Flat lands turned into a pretty nice weather weekend. My big complaint is the I raced Saturday who said you ever know everything about nothing is right on. I still make piddle like mistakes and take the brunt from myself after. That's usually interesting but doesn't always sink in apparently. I took a fly er with another guy in the road race with a K to go we did get and had gape to the what was so pose to be the end of the race but their 200 was really 400 meters and well game over. We swallowed up like disposal. i ended up withe 4th, not good after a 3rd in the tt. So got a little whiskey and had a shot....By the way don't try this at home. but next day legs were worken and attacks were co min out of them and I had sprint in the end so may Landis has something as long as they don't do the check.





The sea of green did very well it was a pleasure riding some my teamies in the big numbered fast old guy bracket-Good work Squiggly and Blair W. And real nice placings from a lot of NRO peeps.





I started work last Monday and oh my it hurts sort of good it is real nice to be back in Zoo town and visiting with the peeps, did miss a few more than others you know... Already get tin back into the down town grove and the cruisen around our beautiful oasis...I have already bean to Sauwa Dee's and Susi Hana's and to some friends the Neidermans from good food, wine and company. It is all good..... In Zoo Town !!!

The weather might be turning the corner
















Well I hung out in Cheney last night nothing real exciting. Did the reading thing then a movie with a glass of wine. kind of a run away right? Well I was in the cold cave during the night not wanting to run the trailer batteries down with soothing warmth. I managed and could even move some in the morning . A call to T lets me know I am parked in the wrong spot by a bout a mile so I scamper out to the cruiser which looks like igloo. I make those little port holes you know for awesome sight and set out the mile to the new start and suddenly I am in a full twiggle with the trailer trying to pass me-so the road is one sheet of ice in the shaded spots.




I get to the start and meet and greet the sea of green peeps we have on our team now-cool. We finally go on the tt and I am in pain cave mode for it and the road race. I get turned kinda inside out. Start not liken racing much. It happens and I will move on cause that's what we racing crazies do. SO take care and I will share more soon.
