If you dont know. Now you know to know.


Penultimate dude.

Tastes Like Chicken?

I was once told never to believe anything you hear, anything you read, and only half of what you see. My Dad told me that, so just like everything else he ever told me, I ignored it completely. I'm a believer. Cant really put my finger on the exact reason why, but for shits and giggles lets just say I have faith in people. So when this nice young man peddled up next to me on our weekly group ride and professed that sardines were super good for you, I of course believed him. He told me why but I forgot...but somewhere in his 15 minute explanation the words "ultimate athlete food" were spoken....that, I know. Maybe not in that exact order..who cares. Sounds good to me....but wait...arnt sardines bait? Or is that anchovies? Salmon eggs?Crab legs...Don't you normally catch edible things with inedible things? You never can count anything out though. People drink goats blood in some places cuz they think it makes you smarter, or more fertile, or something. Watch Discovery Channel...its on there. Each guy has a better solution than the next. One guys says eat peanut butter, the next says cranberry juice. The ones I tend to listen to are the ones that are the quickest. No need to listen to a guy you dropped right? A Cat 1 guy told me about Spizz...so i bought 12 canisters and thought it was the best shit in the world.......until of course I ran out and didn't feel one bit of difference. I heard about NEW XS...which was awesome for about 20 minutes, then I wanted to puke. Lance uses this shit, so it must be proper healthy right?? No...dude crashed for no reason 3 into the Tour of California and couldn't even finish the race, so I'm off of that and going with the sardines.

So these are the ones i picked. I put them in between some bread slices, added some veganaise, along with some fake cheese, and voila....I had a sardine sandwich.

That sandwich made my house stink, and my breath reek. But I feel good and I think it worked?

Make sure you check back next week for another episode of "things you couldn't care less about"

Inspiration

I used to snowboard. I know...laugh it up, but its a fact.  Every  day there came about some habits or rituals that needed to be done before setting foot on the snow for inspiration. First was putting on "The Garden" which if you are old enough, you'll remember that this, at the time, was the shiznit. Never with the volume on though, because the second part of the ritual was getting dressed to the "eye of the tiger"....again..very "uncool" but it was my world, so screw it.  Like Rambo, when he was getting ready to shred the gnar in First Blood Part II after the enemy killed that super hot Asian chick that he was getting hot on. I was too, getting ready for war with the snow? Not so much, but you get the idea.

Remember?.......It started to rain, he ripped her wet red dress, wrapped his head with it, laced his boots, sharpened his knife....and was ready for war. Then this happened........

  Same sitch, but instead of a headband, knife and sick ass boots, I had The Garden, and a Rocky cassette tape, and now that i think of it, I also had some sick ass boots....

Fast forward 46 years. The snow boots, cargo pants, and bleach blond hair is gone. These items are replaced with Lycra shorts, a heart rate monitor, and a bicycle. But just like i needed inspiration when i was snow surfing, i also need it before i ride my bike, and this does it every friggin time.
