Ride N Drool

Official Ride-N-Drool two wheel semi-pro mpls night life training schwagger. Teel gathered a bunch of local yahoo's to Ride about town, giggle, consume this and that. We did a treasure hunt at boom island and landed at secret base near theo for a swell time. CT even had Twin 6 and other swag to hand out to patrons. I kept asking how to win and was simply handed "looking good for jesus, fix-it-kit," did I do something wrong or right?

Yes there we're woobly peeps riding the dark streets of mpls last night. Good times...

Hillside Last PUG Snow Dance

Duncan on video after 1hr 47min. LCR PUG podium sweep. Hot Tub great, eyes still feel like clorine. Seriously. That & stomach issues am B4 race, all mess’d up ya'all. Not riding since Wed. for Sun. race & arriving back in town Sat. after air travel gives sludgyness. ...PUG RACE you say? OK. After dueling Goat around parking lot laughing and breaking cone ettiquitee, led a pretty slow warm up type race/start. Any, AND EVERY LCR sister in range yelled to gooooo faster Squirrel. Not often they see FG & I so close ahead. It was a fast group LCR training ride, fun. 2 fun. Soon enough it was points and pain time. Early into section 4 Larry said, I can lead if u want? I said not yet n pushed it faster. Jimmay yelling/collecting points and a Pirate was a reeling. So up a notch we went. A pull here and/a bobble there but FG basically was always there, on wheel, waiting for “the” moment. A few times almost happened but I hung on-trail to finish with a careful lead & win. It didn't seem like a fast race. Other than the stress and comments of Sarg right there waiting, pretty un-eventful. Hope I didn't jipp ya too much FG! Felt great afterward and had fun riding around lot on logs etc, after a hot tub of course. Thanks Zilla the crowd thrilla. The whole squirrel fam was there as wes Teel and other friends. LCR fiends went out for grub, all good, all good. Out. OH yeah, the bike picture was the overall race series trophy (courtessy of flex sauber), fixie, a ticket to road rash no doubt. I'm game. P.S. the trophy comes back for next years' PUG series winner.... CLICK THE LCR POSTER ABOVE FOR RACE PICS

Not Quite Hooky

Wouldn't it be nice to get up at 6am then in 10 degree weather bike the lakes? Since transporting change to street clothes, extra bike clothes, pug tube, fuel, pump, tools, & all water......do it on bike loaded half as much as this gal. Wouldn't that be nice? Still then, continue to Ft Snelling and over Mendota bridge as sun rises bright? What about then going south to 494 bridge, avoid, continue south on pilot knob past 35E to Leb? Nice, NO? Change gloves in the sun in empty leb lot; head in for laps on PUG you pedal? Wouldn't tit rule? As hands finally warm again realize u gotz 2.5hrs more in the woods? Grand? 4.5 hrs outdoors in 10-20 degrees surviving seemed perfect challenge to me. Finally, get picked up for lunch eat a chicken breast sandwich like it was a pea. Once home build a set of 29'er wheels w/your friend as payment for ride. While legs signal deep vibes, vacumn the whole house, load dishes, clean counters, grab kids sleds at Zilla's, & work on sled course w/kids. Wouldn't be nice?!!

Hillside COMMANDO PUG Fest 08

The 1st annual PUG Fest Race couldn't have been better. Near 30 degrees, 20+ PUGS, 76 racers total, kids & spectators having good times. The race itself was a frick'n snow march. The snow was soft from near 3 inches new a few days prior. The snowmobile efforts did a little yet generally course was 1-4 inches of mash. If you know Hillside you know how the 20-40 foot hills are many. Try jogging all them with a mountian bike or a PUGSLEY! Hardcore. Like I said, couldn't have been better. Those whom lift weights or commando that sorta style did well.

My Dad broke his chain, Duncan was too sick to race. Amy and Teel did just fine spending an hour out there before calling it good. Janna won womens, and Jessica finished the tough race in style. Alta and Leo sledded until cold. Nami, Rick and even Rene come out! By the way my Dad was the oldest racer so he got a mug. Look at the name on the mug, how did they get that right????

My race was swell. Happy to come out in the money. I hammered off the start going for hole shot, got it. Led most lap 1 pretty convicingly. Don't get me wrong, was working way hard. Literally much running with 25% of my body weight being PUG bike-a-push. It was taxing & kept wondered how Larry & Jimmay we're fairing behind. I knew Larry's plan & still pushed ahead trying to create the biggest gap. Anyway, weight & commando style took it's toll... I started fading thinking about how long could actually keep pace. Larry caught me at start of lap 2 when I almost went OTB's leaving bike in snow 10 ft behind....he had his chance. I let Sargent FG go by (instead of hopping on and blocking). Was able to stay on wheel until mid sec 4, lap 2. That's where the running uphill w/PUG really got me. Cramps we're beginning to twinge. By section 1 it was cramp management, Josh caught me. I was able to get really close to him in sec 2 before finish a few times but cramping with each effort. There it is. Larry #1, Josh #2 & 3rd for me 25 seconds off 2 place. Not bad. Jimmay kicked butt strong 4th. Other Pictures Results VIDEO Later all!!
