Wheels & An Iron Chef

Shot over to Tom's tonight to let him take the torque wrench to the Dos Niner to make sure everything is nice and tight for the weekend's coming trashsing. I also got my wheels all set up.

Went to take the bike for a spin around Tom's house and I had a flat. F! Apparently I had a small thorn from my ride a Boyce last week hiding out in my tire and inflating the tire worked it loose resulting in said flat.

When I got home and got it aired up, I took it for a spin around the block tonight and wow they accelerate much faster. OR it's all in my mind. Either way the new hoops feel good.

I whipped up some White Trash Mexican Bake and plopped my ass on the couch to watch some Good Eats and I saw a commercial for Iron Chef America, and the "challenger" looked super familiar.

It took a couple seconds and then I realized I'd seen the dude in an article about Montezuma's Revenge in an old issue of Mountain Biking Magazine. His name is Chris Consentino. Chef and an avid enduro freak.

So this weekend April 22nd tune in to the Food Network's Iron Chef America and cheer on Chris to put a whoopin' on Mario Batali's rotund rumpus.

Later.
