Stuff.

I did it! I got out on the road bike this morning. For the last couple of weeks I have planned to go for a road ride, but when the time would come I would mtb, run, or the gym. Not today...I road cty road 8, is there any other?

Last night was the mtb night ride. We have not had the numbers like last year, but still having a blast. I think with October being so wet a lot of people have written it off. But no...it's still on so Monday at 8:30 at the North Loop.

I am starting to figure out what I need/should do to prepare for my upcoming North Shore Winter Ultra. I am still signed up for the 88 mile bike portion. I think I will keep it at that and not drop down to the 48 mile option. Not having done a race/event in the middle of winter (January 2nd) on a snowmobile trail I really don't know what to expect. I am pretty confident in my ability, just not too sure what my brain will be telling me. I hope we get some snow soon so I can get the Pugsley out and see how it performs. I have been riding the Pugsley a lot lately and am really happy with how it feels. But for 88 miles, I am not too sure.
I have been toying with the idea of doing the Tuscobia winter ultra too. It's about a month early and 75 miles. The decision has not yet been made.

New Sport...for me anyway.

With baseball over I have nothing to watch in the evening. Flipping through the channels last night I stumbled upon MMA/UFC on CBS. I got pulled in. It's pretty interesting to watch. The heavy weight bought was straight out of a Rocky movie. Fedor, a Russian, is the dominant fighter. Brett Rogers was working at a WalMart now an upcoming fighter (10-0)...from St. Paul. He made the first round and actually looked good, from what I could tell. About 30 seconds into the second round Fedor knocked his clock!Yeah...blood.

I Suck.

I suck at blogging.

Y'all Coming?

Monday night mtb ride. 8:30pm at the North Loop.
Sweet.

You Talking To Me?

Gotta love Halloween and Mohawks! We'll see how long I keep the hair cut.

Damn Long Hair Hippies

Custom Work.

Brian wanted a trailer to haul shit behind his bike. Brain is a true commuter, in that he buys groceries on his bike, runs errands on his bike, etc. Looking at what was available Brian decided to build his own. It's bombproof. It carries me with no problem. It's light and tracks very well. He even took the time to make sure is was balanced...damn. Anyway it's pretty cool. Check it out.

I don't think there are too many trailers sporting xt hubs and ceramic rims, but this one is.

Later.
