woo hoo!

so I met up with Ron today at the park to hit the road. I got there a little early to look at the trail, and to my amazement noone had ridden the trail and the chain at the bike trail head was still there. the one over at the Y for the hikers entrance was down though.So I stretched out the chain a bit and relocked it. Ron showed up and we hit the road. wind blew pretty hard. rode out to interlochen and did some hills.Ron kicked my ass, we did 20.10 miles, with the hills in 1 hr 16 min. top speed was 42.7 mph on the downhill. that was fun.
MMMMM hotdogs.

I must say

We needed some rain but, this kinda sucks and blows at the same time. I know there was zero chance of riding this evening, but it pretty much shot the Friday night ride all to hell as far as trail riding goes. It will be interesting to see how the chain across the trail has worked out as opposed to the caution tape.I guess we get to ride the river path.So my friend Krystin locked her keys in her truck and just borrowed my Element to meet her sister with her spare keys. Its the first time someone else has driven my car since I bought it. looked weird driving off.
Im digging the vitamin string quartet right now, incredible covers of rock music with strings.

random..................... and later.

Hmmmmmmm........

Im thinking................ I dont really have anything to say. Normal work day, at least it didnt rain. Rain pretty much ruined the day yesterday. So even though the weather looked really crappy this afternoon, I went ahead and loaded up for the group ride. stayed cloudy and windy but no rain. we averaged something like 17 and some change, not too bad. Steph( rons wife) nearly blew chunks, Megan got crossed wheeled and fell at a red light. wasnt her fault, she was the unlucky one though. Overall it was an interesting ride.
Maybe tomorrow will be intersting too. I do get to service Megan tomorrow. A/C problem that is.

Ok

so im watching the history channel's show earth after man. Kinda trippy to know that if man suddenly disappeared from earth, 100 years later, there would be talking going on. parrots. millions of parrots kept as pets would still repeat our sounds to the millions of offspring. Anyway,spent the day today watching racing, sunday ritual you know, nascar was pretty exciting, talladega usaully is. Danica finshed top 5 in kansas, still looked hot after the race. Thats really all I got to see today. I'll have to catch up on moto GP. no riding today.

Saturday, I went and did some trailwork at cedar hill on the 12 mile loop with Steve,Brad,Dennis, another Steve and the trail stewards. We did some major work on the downhill that should make upkeep much easier. No riding day, to frakin' tired after the trailwork. but did take a couple of bottles of wine over the the "circle of deaths" house for a dinner get togther. got a little buzzed and found out I really like disorano on the rocks. At least I wasnt the one that ended up praising the porcelaine princess. I did find something interesting to mount last night :)

I wonder if Glenns ever going to update his blog?

Thank god its friday

Had a busy day at work today,but the honda guy called and said the Element was ready so I busted out the day without lunch so I could get over there in time to pick it up before friday afternoon traffic went to crap. It was fixed right, no more noises or anything. While I was standing with the warranty guy, the big sign above the service bay blew out and on to this mini van there to get the oil changed. scratched it up a little but that was it. better him than me. Got the FNR in. three more laps tonight. went to Als to eat and heard a great story about the DICK DOCTOR convention that Lee's wife was at. dick doctor. thats freakin funny.

Thats all I got. man its nice to have my own car again.

finally

I got to ride today. did 3 laps at RLP . all of it.all laps less than 28 minutes. not too bad. ran into casey cole on his new yeti 575, man what a sweet ride. the formerly fun jump at the entrance to ekg is now so fast that two people shot onto the uphill and crashed. Man did I laugh . then asked them if they were ok.
I didnt have anything to say yesterday, so thats that.

sooooo

I didnt have crap to do today at work. so I took the time to remove all the low hanging limbs in the trees in the field next to the house. Some d bag has been tying boxing gloves to some of them to train his pit bull to do running lunges at. he hangs them at head height, so he's training it to attack. so no more limbs to hang them from.
then I got cleaned up and went over to my aunt mary's house for dinner and to hang out with family from out of town. I missed the tuesday group ride but did go hang out and drink a few frosty barley pops at my sisters house after dinner.

thats all I got.
