Rolling On

GRUMPY's was an absolute blast. Let's just say my spin wasn't to win, not even close. Next time all in, all pain, no let up. Hope to qualify for H2H. Doug represented LCR w/ 2nd place overall. Killer considering there was at least 50 guys going for it? The crowd was as expected, all good, all loud, all beers. FIRST SIGHTING. The 2PM test ride....Scottie & I spent 2.5 hrs at battle creek during storm, w/ 4+ inches of snow. All the way out & back. Awesome. Here's first pic & sighting. "Grey Squirrel" with bomb squad head gear ready for air action, squrrel relitive of sqiurrel jr. on bike.

It's Gunna Hurt

Looking forward to this Thursday down by the river night ride beat down and.......... Grumpy's indoor spin-off. Yeah, the track, fixie, delivery, city slicker crowds are gunna kick my butt, bring it, can't wait. Biking Bar Beer.

Lost it twice, so sweet

This long weekend rode Battle Creek & new Murphy for first time (Virgin!) Never ever rode Farm but saw a 20 min vid of trail, does that make a hatrick? Also hit Mammoth & Leb again, 8.5hrs in 7 days. All on trails, SS 32x17 29'er. Battle creek ups we're hella hard, thanks for the tour Eddie. Amy even got out & hit Theo. To celebrate good times cookies & cream soda we're had. I lost track of how many candy cane cookies magically disapeared..bOmb..forget bout' protien, sugar is king. Only 6 lbs heavier than Aug. sparing weight....

Seattle Sore

Work trip to Seattle/Cascades, ran up a favorite hike. 3,800ft up in 4 miles. Topping out at near 6k we we're above snow-line for half da grunt. Running down for miles really pounds the legs, not used to it....after all bikes are easier on muscles than downhill running if you know what I mean. Other bits.... sponsors lining up. Some killer product hope to get my hands on. More later. My Dad has gone freaky geek on lights. He's building all kinds of home made lights! Let there be light!!! I came home for lunch yesterday & Amy was just returniung from a ride. Yeah! She is getting out this winter!! With more lights Duncan, Amy & fam can get out all Winter again.....

Time to Enjoy Sugar Season

LCR, Farm, Fallout gang started first of many night season rides Thurs night. Not sure what to call group, who cares all good. Although no snow, do beleive it's begun. So, after many falls, a bent rim, total loss of points & 2.5 hrs of pedal'n RivrBtmn the shenanagan's ended. Good beat down, 98th st. to BF Br. & back & forth w/infinite circles. Apres'vu beverage & din din w/Jimmay was so good. This AM, going with RTE roadies for a few. In pic.... on another seasonal note, since up a level...these mugs are hard to come by. Must enjoy! B&T, oh yeah!!
