Saturday Sundries

Woke up at 6am and was sitting outside drinking a mocha waiting for the Jeff at 6:30. I am not a fan of early mornings. By 7am, we were cruising through Wilderness and at roughly 7:30, just went down in a 'S' curve, the victim of wet soil and matted leaves. Kneecap to top tube. We cruised it in from there. I am convinced I am a jinx for those who ride with me. I come away unscathed from the Dave and Corey head-on, then Jeff gets the rug pulled out from under him. It's like I am a riding version of Murphy's Law lately.

Cameron is sitting in the 12th spot at Moab as of about 10 minutes ago. His teammate, Nat Ross is in the lead.

The new cross rims hit the shop today. Hopefully, the hubs will be soon to follow. Time is running short.

I cannot believe how much I am enjoying riding the single speed. I am really looking forward to cross SS style. And with the way I ride...

Bring it, don't sing it. Biatch.

Sox rode again today. No falls, nothing but flow. I think maybe being a year older sits well with him.

Corey, you get called a Gimp and can't pull out the pulp fiction quote? So sad...

Cornbread said...

No quote cuz it was too easy.

Endurosnob said...

so your idea of a great comeback is "bring it, don't sing it?"

Did you watch "You Got Served" last night?

"You can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?"

This is exactly why I ride by myself, I can't blame anybody and nobody knows when I crash...usually! I'm not up to many movie quotes but it seems to me what we have here is a failure to communicate!

rockd said...

The hubs are here as well, what you need is a wheel builder and I think he back Wednesday.

Endurosnob said...

Rock, how's the healing process coming along? You need to ride with us more, not less.

rockd said...

Amen to that, I am looking forward to riding more not less. The Doc says I don't need to see him again until he works on my shoulder (about 3 weeks) so I'm looking to ride until then, then I'm off the bike for a couple of weeks or so. I figure I have met my deductable for the year so why not get all of these things fixed, heck I'm even going for the colonoscopy or how ever that is spelled. I want everything in order for TransIowa. The battery is on the charger I'm game for about anything, except the creek crossing, I'll walk that one for a time or two.

Endurosnob said...

Sounds great, Rick. I am running the creek to get ready for cross anyway. Jeff and I have been taking off from my place at 6pm on Mondays. You should join us.

I'm putting it on my calender.
