Nightcrawler to Snowshoe not Austrailia

Saturday- arrivied in Leb lot before 7:30AM. Lot empty. First quiet solo lap very hard as I sunk 1/4 inch the whole lap(on pug). Twas a thick shag carpet ride no matter what the tire pressure. Lap 2 with LCR gang was freaky...no more small ring...no more work. WOW. It froze solid and went from punchy work to crunchy in an hour. Lap 2 some of us trudged farther into X, 2pin & Fox completed. Sarg marched XX after Scott & Ray stomped. By end of lap 3 I was worked. Amy went for a ride with Teel to Theo. My plans to hit surly brewery for first time thwarted. I had to head home to kiddo's so Amy could ride, it was only fair. Amy & I topped the day off with a snowshoe (she used her xmas present). Nice lake mtka hike with her sister & husband. Good times, good sushi & more exercise!! Today I'm riding Theo w/my pal Joel. Since he's from Australia now & hasn't been on a pug, we'll show him Sota snow treats to re-aquaint w/MN nICE (picture). Next weekend Pug Race #1 at Hillside. Oh about "nightcrawler", saw a live one at Leb!!

Let it Snow

Murphy last wknd was a 3 hr workout. Yesterday Theo stomp, shovel & sled-pull worked well with Alta & Leo. Theo was awesome fun last night on PUG. South hwy 55 loop messy, North is good to go. Happy Holiday's.

Three Degrees No Hillside - Not Denied

A rendevous of 3 musketeers December 14th, 6:30pm. Theo: Frozen, Crunchy, Ruts o turbulent LOUD. The legion of doom denied us, "sorry we're closing due to the weather." Hands we're numb from futzing w/bike lock. I thought legion Ma's we're tough cookies? 20 min later 7 degrees F, hands came back. We left 2pinz for dead (went home.) Stairmaster & I pedaled straight into the wind for JJ's Clubhouse. We chowed & did multi liqui-fuels. Momma sqrl stopped by to offer a lift in the truck. We said NO, cause we're tough sisters. With little persuasion waitress gave up her blistex (obviously thinking hot boys, or idiots). When we stepped out of JJ's into 3 degree snowblizzard we giggled & danced. It was killer light snow, deep enough to soften many out-of-medals activities. In revenge, stairmaster went down on a straght away derby. Goat wouldda been proud. We we're seeking n destroying many drifts, ramps, snow piles ect. Who knew landscape around Home Depot & Office max would have so much to offer! We pedaled into sqrl driveway just before getting too cold. One frigg'n pugger good time!!

I rode it & don't see any issues. Geo good. Some carbon. I'm good now right? 2009? Riding various bikes each week. When I ride...missing something...gaining too....my fat hurts!!

Homie n Hillside Halloween 2008

The PUG Enduro (4 laps) at Hillside was solid on PUGSLEY SS 32x18. Worked out as perfect PUG gear for Hillside dirt, good for Theo too for that matter. Friday night & Saturday twas no ride zone as was family spook time. Amy, the kids and I did yard work, pumpkins, finished costumes. Duncan had a friend over on Halloween and played severed head in a huge box. He totally freak'em. Check how mom did his look. The kids are old enough where they do there own Halloween thing, as shown in pic, carve their own. Oh yeah, biking, the 3 hours over previous weekend on SS 29'er, then a few short lunch breaks on PUG at Theo opened and set me up for Hillside. Results....my legs basically hammered non-stop. One of my stronger outputs this year. Weird. Sort of like the attached Kittty picture. Which Kitty had enough fun?? The after race pumpkin smashing sure was fun. I'll be test owning/riding a Selma SS soon, report up next..
