GLORY ABOUNDS:





OFF THE PRESSES:



InterBike – The arrival of the fittest

Wake 0500
Cattle prod motivation wisked me to the 0830
What do you know, my seatmate in 20B, a giant. His globulous flesh flowing deep into myspace…I slid in and prepared for a moist sleep…I dreamed of waking to my hand being gnawed off.

Happily, Jabba remembered a large duffle bag (Molson Export to be exact). He perched the sack on his lap, unziped (the bag) to reveal a stock of chips, nuts, chocolates and human remains…he frantically got to tearing the bags appart and consuming…the sucking sound was soothing and I was soon fast asleep.

I awoke fully intact…apparently I slept through a delluge of laughing fits and play-by-plays as he enjoyed Indiana Jones more then anyone on the planet…crisis sleep training, I am your master.

Collected my bag and was delivered by a back-alley speedracer (along with Benjamin and Courtney of Pedal Mag) to the land of pirate booty…oh boy.

Thanks for covering the lift Benjamin…you see, someone punched out the ATM at the terminal and currency was rare. I swear.

People I want to see, because I like them and they like me:

  1. HOSS TECHNICAL GEAR – Man cannot survive on bibs alone…heman Mark can puke his body weight and still ride the rockies…in baggies.
  2. PRINCETON TEC – We work during the day, the day is bright and the night is long.  Lights make riding in the dark easier.  Savvy?  Justin will give me FREE BEER Thursday night at his…partaay…
  3. LIKIN’ BIKIN’ - This one is easy, Dan wants to buy lots of stuff and I have stuff…Dan wants to help me design a 7/7 29″ DH bike…
  4. DIRTRAG MAG – Karen made the mistake of putting me on the tube last year, after the great stick-up in Napa I doubt the association will be so formal.  Karl and Jeff are still sympathetic…excellent.

People I want to see because I like to buy from them:

  1. WTB – I lost track of what’s news, more tires?
  2. Cane Creek – I want colours.
  3. FSA – Maybe wheels.
  4. White Brothers – TA forks…all the time?
  5. White Industries – Anything maybe?
  6. Phil Wood – Something maybe?
  7. ESI – My happy hands.

And that oughta get me through to lunch on day one.

Effective immediately, I’m taking requests.

ATTENTION:

  • Screw-You-MOUNTAINVIEW’s Race the Night takes place October 4th…begininning at 1930 so you WILL need a light…with course lengths ranging from 14-28 km’s…if you race like weeee Thomas Wood, maybe you should bring two batteries.  Do it, night riding is the new fixed gear.
