Fat

I feel like I am getting fat. Sounds like a chick. Damn, why is there so much stuff to eat this time around. I think it goes back to caveman days when you had to eat everything in the winter when you could cause you never know when you are left with nada. Man I am trying but all that I see is cookies, pies and whatnot. Anyway, back to work baby, rollin in the red truck, already picked up some OT too, sweet! Daddy's got to pay the bills, and get a new bike! Feels good to be back to work, but I have to get rid of this work-o-maniac thing though, need some Barco time. Damn I just need to chill.

Rode coyote solo yesterday, hit it hard felt okay. Still need to fine tune some mojo though, did some intervals and it always feels like each time you feel like you are going faster but the timex says do it again snail boy! Rangers were out, but they were cool. You would think they would be bugging the people humping in their cars, not some cyclists. It always surprises me when I see people get some afternoon delight. I can just see W and Rove doing the breakback ridge thing in some park in DC. Kinda funny. I am feelin the need to race though, two weeks no race, just when I am getting my grove baby. Watching my Euro cross porn tonight. Those dudes are freaks, so fast. It beats watching the surreal life 2 marathon, which is what was playing at the ol' fire house tonight. That show drives me crazy, some serious stupid people, I guess they are gettin paid though.

Well, happy new year, I am heading down the coast to chill with Toddco and Timberly et al. Surfing, drinking and of course the bike. See you next year.

Peace.

Freeeedooommm!!

Okay where to start. First off the Doc did not get tossed, he laid down some serious Catholic guilt though. Something about risking my life trying to save some else's life, bones cracking, cause of the screws and rod in my leg, blah blah blah...... I don't know, but he did sign me off to go back to work. I do need more surgery in May or June. Whatever, if I miss another cross season I will freak though.

Speaking of which, EPIC conditions this past weekend. Rain, wind, mud, biblical man! This is the kind of weather that everyone talks about, but when the caca hits the fan, everyone curls back up in bed and says it was to nasty. You have got to be kidding me man! I drove all the way down to Ord in a downpour. If it would have been sunny at the start I would have been pissed. Bring it man, rain, cold, mud. That is it. The pretenders stay at home with the lattes. Mr. Dugast hooked up nicely as well this weekend. I managed to take a 5th. Some hoedad was bugging me though. I would be working it, pulling for a lap, and dude tells me to pull through. I told him I did last lap and he says, yeah but I wasn't on your wheel. I say, yeah well you caught me so it must have worked. Every lap he did that. Until he dropped me. Wheel suckers. Next time dude you get the Belgie turn signal! Dude was bugging me more than W was bugging moveon.org offices. Anyway, Granny won the race so we were happy. Shout out to the bad boys of cross, Granny, Cylocrossboy, and Velojuice the 3 musketeers of mud.

Went for a ride with the champ to day. Homeboy about killed me. Rode around Stanford, bunny hopping every log on the campus. I went over one log and was so far up on the front wheel I thought it was melon smashing time. Somehow, the god of one legged gimps was smiling on me and I was able to bring it back down. That and I bunny hopped a five foot snake that was out in the trail. Needed some TP after that one. I don't know if it was a rattler or not but I wasn't checking. The broke pieces weren't feeling so good. That's okay, free love baby.

Chedck this out, my 11 year old daughter and 9 year old son go for their check ups today. The Dr. says little man should hit puberty next year or so, and that my daughter my be another two years before she hits puberty. I hit puberty at 16, he hits at 10 ??? Go figure. That and little man will be about 6'3". I guess I better start being nice so I don't get my ass kicked in a couple years. I can blame that one on my dad. Time to drool on the pillow. Nighty night.

Dr. Tossing

Remember in the 90's, they had that that politically incorrect sport of midget tossing? Maybe it was the 80's, which shows you how old I am. Anyway I may have a new sport of Dr. tossing, cause if holmes does not clear me for work, I will toss him out the window. I know I have said it before, but I am reaffirming it tonight. I got the whole anxiety insomnia going on thinking about it. Talked to my home boy Timberly tonight. We were bonding about how cool being on the line is. The desk stuff is killin him. Must be tough looking at Socal surf everyday, taking surf breaks at lunch. Damn, socal rules, bikinis and waves 365 man. Not like here. Flannel and fog.

We do have cross though, CCCX on sun. Sat. is the rodeo course in the east bay. I am going to skip that though. I gotta go teach some 9 year old boys how to play hoops. That'll be good. Do you know what the attention span is for a 9 year old? Let's put it this way, Cheney has more patience at a NAACP rally. You got to love the latest W spin though. I mean does that guy have any credability anymore? Let us not digress, CCCX on sun, Mr. Dugast back on glue, lookiing good. Gonna roll down with the Champ. My man took 2nd at Nat's. Not bad, though I know he was jonesin' for 1 higher. Next year Buddy, next year.

Starting to get holiday fever, except I am not sure what to get the bride. 16 years in the saddle and I still don't know what to get her. Any ideas let me know. Can't win that one. Unless you get diamonds, and hell no, I ain't going that way. Threw in a pic of the killer rabbit. He is most def the King of the kitchen, little mofo tear your ass up you creep up on him.

Oh yeah, how about survivor? My girl Dani won, except what a freak show man, when they go to the Hollywood shot they all look like they had some nip and tuck done. I didn't even recognize them. I am a sucker for that show, I don't even know why. Same crap every season. Cross baby Cross. gotta stay focused. Gonna go out hard on sun. see what happens. Stay tuned. I didn't even talk about Tookie! Don't get me started on that. Fight the power!
Late..... VJ

Thank God for Cali!

Today went out with the Boss, rode around did OLH, Kings what not. That old feeling is coming back. I am still as slow as W doing fractions in math class but, I felt good. I rode the old Redline CX bike, which will now be known as the Yugo, cause after riding around on my Lapierre Ultimate Cycle (yeah it's a plug but it rocks) it felt like a Huffy after a year on a Morman mission in Ethiopia. Time to throw that thing on Craigs and unload it. Did I mention the weather was freaking perfect?

Well the Boss is coming around homey lost 30lbs last year should be flying by May. I just hopes he doesn't figure it out to soon cause I'll be chasing his backside all over.

Well the big news is, besides getting Mr. Dugast back on track, the weather at Nat's was crazy, (www.pedalpushersonline.com) did you see the pics from CX nat's? Geezz, where is that thing being held, Alaska? Thank God for Cali. You can keep that "changing of the seasons" crap, I guess this was the best year to miss it. Here I was feeling sorry for myself for missing it for the first time in three years. The Champ better have his game face on for that one, my man races on sunday, it better start getting better in a hurry or there will be a serious beer shortage in the greater New England area. That's the best part of Nat's is the fact that after the race you can get stupid drunk, and usually on 2-3 beers. Cyclists are such light wieghts. Works for me though. T-minus 6 days till Dr.'s appointment. I wonder how much jail time one would get for hitting a Dr. Not that I am a violent man, hell I am a lover not a..... Yeah, that one was cheese city.

My man Cyclocrossboy gave me some props in his post on the Lapierre - Ritchey blog. I love drinking with that guy. I am looking forward to not bring stupid someday. Random thought, but today I did one of those things where you go "damn, am I that stupid". And that is coming from a guy who ran into a Harley while on his bicycle at 30 MPH. Well I won't say what happened, just trust me it was dumber than W at the Crawford Ranch spelling bee.

I can't wait to see my SoCal boys. The Tarter trifecta, the three amigos, Rodknee, Toddco and Timberly. Fine beer shall be poured, good times will be had. Hang overs manditory. Well this is taking entirely too long. Mini Me is almost done with his movie. I swear he goes into a trance when the tube is on. No wonder we don't have cable, yeah I am old school baby, antenna on the roof and 5 bitchin' channels. Who has time to watch TV when I can be riding. Rock on!

Double Trouble

Oh man, back to back and time to get back. Rolled it Sat and Sun at Coyote Point CX this weekend. The champ took a nasty tumble on Sat and went bad mechanical mojo on sun. Damn homey I am feelin for ya! Next week my man, eyes on the prize. I went full on redline for all 45 minutes both days seeing Elvis everywhere. Sunday I went numb on the last lap, but after battling with Sean for two days in a row I managed to get even on Sun though. The ego is a patheticly fragile thing and mine is the worst. But, I got my CX fix and my legs are rocked today. The after party was rightous on Sun, fun and drink had by all. My man Patrick hooked me up and bailed out my sad crying booty when Mr. Dugast went sideways on me, bummer. When a $100 tire gets jacked and its as worthless as W on the debate team it can make a man act like a little bitch. CP was in the house with the Bazooka cam catching me with drool all over my face, I can't wait to see those. My man is turning into a serious Cyclo Herb Ritts. Anyway, watched Never Ending Story with the kids last night. I don't know how I missed that 80's epic back in the day, but, what a freak show, the flying luck dog-dragon? That and a horse named Artax? Oh well, the kids liked it, the wifey couldn't take the G rated suspense, that was funny, but that is why I love her (CYA). Anyway, my energy is at all time low, got some serious track hack, with snot flying all over. That's what I get for the late CX fix. Oh well, speaking of drool,time to go drool all over the old lady's pillow.
Nighty. Night.
