So after spouting off that I was going to race the Ogden Xterra, I am not. I hate to say I am doing something then not do it. I try not to do it but well this time I did. As much as I want to do it my back is just not having it. If I was a triathlete then hell ya I would be racing, but I am a cyclist and (for now) my goals are on the ‘cross bike. I am stoked that I am finally geting my back healthy and I hope it translates into a big ‘cross season. By big I mean I want to beat Tommy Boy like one of Michael Vick’s dogs. Anyway I will be at XTerra supporting Rachel. She has made big improvements on the MTB and is ready for a break through race.

Tomorrow I flip another card on the lap counter. Maybe I will order this sweet jumpsuit. 818 it is weird how often that number comes up for me, glances at the clock, odometer, lunch bills, surgery bill, weight of steaks I bought. I don’t believe in numerology, but it makes me wonder. Probably hit The Jackalope for some Metal and a few PBR’s then car bombs at a friends house. If you want to come drop a dime and I will give you the address.

I’ll be impressed if you can find that sweet set of old man coveralls in you size. I haven’t found any that fit worth a damn, and I’m borderline normal sized. You’re stuffed mate. Turned out to be the summer of art afterall. Any plans for the 41st. tc
