The Assignment

So B-Man's assignment was: Cut a favorite picture out of a magazine and write a sentence or two about it. One old Outside magazine and one forgotten question mark later...

I guess I race a bike on occasion, so that makes me a bike racer. I wonder if he actually thinks I'M COOL? Please don't answer that, just let me have my moment. Thanks!

Speaking of Outside magazine... My web friend and XXC contributor Heidi Volpe wrote a killer blog piece for Outside online. Heidi had the chance to interview Emma and Wes Wallenfels. Yep the kids of Lynda Wallenfels, of one of my fave endurance racers, bloggers and coach type people**. The piece is killer go check it.

** Not that Lynda coaches me, I'm un-coachable in my love of junk miles and apparent contentedness with sup par mediocrity. Just wanted to mention that. I didn't want people thinking that someone with my legendary non results had a coach helping him achieve such grandiose lackluster performances. Clear? Good.

Watched Race Across The Sky tonight. I really dug it. But then again, a bike movie has to suck pretty bad for me to not like it. I'll probably blather on about it at some other point this week here or on the XXC Magazine blog.

After yesterday's 2 hours in the dirt, I couldn't stay away today and returned for another 2 hours of dirt love. The Fox fork on my El M is feeling soooo good after it's servicing. It is just eating up everything and making the E.M. feel even better! Looking forward to spending the day on it this Saturday.

Later.
