Funday afternoon.


Picked up this gem of a bike on Friday afternoon from my friendly neighborhood rip you off even though you hang out here, send all your friends here, and are friends with us bike shop. Its my new cyclecross bike, not even sure if that's how i spell it? Basically a road bike with BMX tires and smaller gears. Took it out on Saturday for the first time and had a yabba dabba doo time. I was 12 again. Bunny hopping, sliding through dirt, jumping, and running over shit you could NEVER run over or even near on a road bike. This thing is my new favorite thing in the garage. Sunday was a cyclecross race....so I figured what could possibly go wrong..I'll sign up for a few races and see what happens. The fun continued...grass course with tight turns, stairs to run up, barriers to jump over, and a lil tiny patch of mud to ride through. Good good fun. When it was all said and done, I was filthy, tired, sore, and happy. This could be a busy "off season" for me. I mean......the first race I won a beer....a BEER? These are my type of peeps. On top of that, the second race I won....they gave me a BIGGER beer.  The only down side of this weekend was the drunk drive home. (that's a joke mom).
