And I just realized I haven't posted anything since July. I'm a lazy bum when it come to writing so tough titties. I haven't hit the road much at all, but have been hitting the dirt pretty regular. both geared and single speed. Its showed in the racing. Im a little pudgy, even though I haven't been putting the road miles in I have been eating like I was. so there's that. I got 13th place in the first race of the season, missed the second race due to a slight drug overdose/oversleeping incident. got my ass handed to me in the third race for another 13th. but this time I was DFL. Got a 12th this past Sunday out of 25. not terrible in the single speed class, but I should do better.
Ragweed and Mt cedar have been very high. So my allergies have been pretty bad for a couple months now, making it hard to breath deep and ride like I really should. Other than that, I have no excuses to be a back/ mid packer.
the new Gary Fisher frame has not turned out as great as I had hoped. the seat tube is reamed a couple of thousandths big allowing the seat post to slip down during the ride. Sometimes as much as 1/2 an inch a lap. so I have it rigged with double clamp setup. This is temporary though because I ordered a new custom frame.YEAH MAN!!!! A sweet hand built, brazed steel single speed frame. It coming to me raw so I can paint it myself ( its been a while..10 years) with the team colors. Black and white, some scallops, a name panel, and some hand pinstripes. I hope it turns out as good in real life as it looks in my head. may even have it by Christmas, just in time for my birthday.OH YEAH!!
Thats all I gots....... later
