This week was something else. Nutz-oh work stuff, wasp/hornet/bee stings, swollen ham fists, a 24 Solo coming up and my sanity hanging on by a chicken bone vein. So today felt a bit sick (cough, cough). The way I see it, I was miserable yesterday, typing with a hand the size of a canned ham, and still turned out some serious deadline work. Today. Asses (mine) can be kissed. I really don't even care if someone where I work would happen to see this. I say to you- If you can find someone else to do as good a job as me, by all means show me the door! ;)

So with me "sick" the only thing I could really do was ride. Right? So I figured I'd hit up a little local adventure on the Mamasita. First I hit the Rail Trail for 10ish miles. Then it was on to parts of my normal road loop with some healthy doses of shitty farm roads that I don't dare attempt to ride on the Campeon. After that it was back the rail trail, a side adventure poaching some utility service double track and then back to the rail trail. In total I got in just under 3 hours of riding and 41 miles of just about every type or riding that one could find so close to home. It was a blast!!!

Gotz To Roll The Sick Day

The Urban Hick Graffiti was out in FORCE today!!



Oddly, some of this was spaced 10+ mile apart. NAK was "gay" at mile 15
AND at mile 25. Some people get to take pics of trails, mountains, wildlife, etc.
I get big dicks spray painted on the road. Nice.

41 Miles of Road Dust

Great time in the saddle. A nice mix of all things hick. Rail trails, farm roads, road, quad trails, etc. I had a blast! Plus I got a ton of shit done around the house. Wifey continues to half joke about me quitting to become a House Husband. Some days, I think I JUST might take her up on the offer.

Today I attempted to order THIS bad ass long sleeve jersey for my chilly night laps at Seven Springs next week. But as (bad) luck would have it, it's sold out and now discontinued. DRAT!!!! Oh well. Ghetto arm warmers and vests will get me through another year I suppose.

I guess since I'm feeling "better" I have to go back to work tomorrow. Grrrr.

Later.

You ready? Sounds like you have the course dialed in and putting in some good miles of late. Great course up there. Good luck Bro!

SM is up in air. Hit tree, hurt shoulder/bike, sold my Reg, Xray neg, shoulder improving, bike done next week, now have a shaky lead on a new Reg for sale. Crossing fingers I can get it.

Nice dude. To quote SuperBad:
Seth: When I was a little kid, I kinda had this problem. And it's not even that big of a deal, something like 8 percent of kids do it. For some reason, I don't know why. I would just kinda... sit around all day... and draw pictures of dicks.
Evan: What?
Seth: Draw pictures of dicks.
Evan: Dicks? Like a man dick?
Seth: Yes. Like a man dick.
Seth: I'd just sit there hours on end drawing dicks. I didn't know what it was. I couldn't touch the pen to the paper without drawing the shape of a penis.
Evan: That's fucked.
Seth: No shit. It's really fucked up. Here I am. A little kid. And I can't stop drawing dicks to save my own life.

And before I forget: Good luck w/the 24 next weekend!

You know how many foods are shaped like dicks? The best kinds,

House Bitch, that sounds like somebody I know. It's a pretty tuff job thou, it's not for everyone.

On the Seven Springs thing. I'm gonna be there with 14-15 pep's, so if you need anything before, during or after the race let me know. These are all good guy's (and a couple of cute chic's too) that would be more then willing to help others out if need be.

Pete, sorry to hear about your shoulder! Good luck healing to both you and your bike. Hope you can track down an entry.

Metro- Thanks for the good luck wishes and for the Super Bad quote. Like .5% of kids take pictures of dicks spray painted on roads while they're riding their bike.

Travis,

Thanks! Much appreciated. As you know I'll just be there with a couple bikes and my own one "cute chick";) so if things would get ugly for me bike wise, I may have to beg for assistance!

See you soon. I'll be up there Friday afternoon to ditch my stuff in the Solo pit and check in.

Later.

We seem to have the big dick spray paint problem here, too.
