AAAAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!
Its Mid February and i havent been writing !!!
Funny thing is, i've had plenty of time on my hands ---- i am on the mend from a massive bacterial infection that wiped out about 2 weeks of good work that should have happened
------ I do not know what causes a bacterial infection specifically --- but there are some real all-stars under that umbrella - Strep, Staph, Meningitis, --- that is some Big Time, Big Boy Nasty ---
Trouble is -- i am behind -- Way behind on my base cycling miles now --- and for me in my current condition , base miles are ultra important
This rant is cycling related because there are a couple of PA's nvolved (personal appearamces)
For those of you who dont know , i was slated to lead out some group rides through the Moab "Brand" trails as part of Outerbike MArch 12-15 --- these are flatter trails without a ton of climbing but with enough downhills to make things cook a bit
This ride will be epic , with or without my involvement , -- and i may make it there to run the tap for the kegstand contest, --- but my current fitness pretty much means i will be doing shuttled downhill runs primarilly
That said -- check it out --- all the major manufacturers will be there with demo rides for everyone -- food and beverages (ALL beverages ) are included in your buy in (175 bucks) --- if you dont need the demo rides, its cheaper --- but to get a shot at all the best from Yeti, Specialized, Ibis, Niner, Giant, Santa Cruz, Trek and many more --- for a few bucks is pretty cool
Outerbike Spring
Heidi wants to see you here !!!
My physical condition is still a living, breathing entity (basically, I'm still sick) -- im not driving to Moab in the midst of full Stroke Cane symptoms if i still have no base miles - otherwise -- i will die -- LOL --- but i have another date in April we can all hook up at the Sea Otter -- This is April 16-19
Sea Otter
The Sea Otter is the somewhat official spring kickoff to the season -- for the domestic road, and mountain bike season ---- while Outerbike is primarilly a mountain bike event, Sea Otter caters to all of us --- and i dont care what aspect of the sport you roll with, the dual slalom course is usually sick
Some great pics below --- including an aerial of the DS course --- but for the most part, you will get many many opportunities to blow your lungs wide open here ----
-------------- you might need a few base miles -- but heck, its almost 2 months away ---
Plenty of chicks at Sea Otter too --- but you likely wont pick up any of them --- just come armed with your fitness high and expectations low
Other than this --- i will try to get back with some regularly scheduled straight talk (I have been compared to Oprah) very soon --- but there will not be an IpadAir under your seat or anything
If you like bikes -- make it to Outerbike or Sea Otter! Ride lots, relax lots , and drink lots -- we will discuss reversing these horrible sins later ! -- LOL, but im thinking 25 or 30 miles a day on dirt will cancel out a lot of ills
