It's a tit bit nippley out there

2008-01-17T10:06:00.000-08:00

Now that school is back in session I have started riding again but this has to be the coldest that I have ever seen it here in Durango. A little recap Cross Nats went not so well. My break back home was sweet I did a little coaching with some little rippers at ol' Wa Wa chusett. Then I went up to Stowe for a week and hung out with Nate Dogg and did some grooming with him and some of the best skiing I have ever done back on the east side.

Last weekend Dave and I went Skiing at Silverton. That had to be one of the best skiing days I have had, not the best but damn good. Here are a few Pics we took.

Here's a picture of Dave, me and Jed who we met up with at the mtn.

A picture of the scenery

In other news it seems that I will be Graduating this Semester and when I say graduating I don't mean I will walk then have to take classes the next semester to finish up like some people out there. After 5 long years my college life is finally coming to an end.

Well I got to go and ski or ride, I haven't made up my mind yet because the thermometer hasn't hit 10 yet.

Nationals and some cross

2007-11-01T09:24:00.000-07:00

Sweet mustache pic

stolen from Velonews

Well since the last update I have the new cross bike built up and it is sweet and it rides really really well. In all the years I have raced cross I have only ridden a few bikes but this bike is easily the best bike I have ridden. The only problem is that I haven't been riding to fast so having a sweet light fast bike doesn't really matter when your ridding slow, the end result is getting spanked in Gloucester and almost getting lapped. That aside, I raced two weeks ago here in Durango and set up a cool course and actually had a decent race but Travis and Todd were there so I ended up 3rd but I was able to battle it out with Travis for most of the race.

On to this past weekend where I raced for the ol' Fort at Collegiate MTB Nationals. When we arrived to Banner Elk I pretty much had a chubby because it was raining and super muddy. When Ben, Noah and I went out to pre-ride I was just pulling away from Ben the whole time, so knowing that my own team mate was going to be my biggest competition I thought I could maybe win. As the day progressed The rain slowed and a couple hundred more collegiate riders rode the course turning the course into peanut butter which left the sections of the course I was riding fast into speed walking sections. On to race day first of all it was a really early wake up, for some reason I couldn't fall asleep until 2 Thursday night and we had to wake up at 5 so waking up with only 3 hours of sleep hurt. We headed over to the course around 7 and started warming up in the pitch black. When 8 am rolled around the sun finally poked it's head out and the gun went off. Ben and I tagged along by Scott Stewart from Lees Mcrae led the first half of the lap until Scott disconnected from the Germans fierce pace. I knew the race was going to be tough when I would be riding descent and Ben was running next to me going just as fast. So we came to the fire road climb to the finish and he throttled me on the climb and gapped me by 25 seconds in a half mile. On the next lap I started riding to fast for the technical sections so I started flailing and I came through the start finish and Ben had 3 minutes. So on the third lap I rode my own race and came through the start finish only 1:20 down on Ben but at the same time Ben heard I was getting closer so he hammered. On the last lap I was given'er but with at least 60 lapped riders to go through I was crashing a lot trying to get around them and started to take my time so I could conserve my 2nd place and came through the finish in 2nd about 6 minutes down....ouch. But that was good for the team because we had a first and second already. SO I waited to see my other team mates come in and they did well coming in 7th and 12th.

The next day was the STXC. Ben and I got screwed on our start positions and had to start in the last and second to last rows. So we had to hammer through the field and finally on maybe the 5th lap we made it to the group of 2nd-8th. Ben kept going straight through while I had to rest a bit. In the end Ben was 2nd and I ended up in 5th with another Fort rider in 4th who was lucky enough to start in the front row, and Noah rode well finishing in 9th. In the end we garnered a lot of points for the fort helping the team win the team omnium. That night we partied hard and had some good fun I was able to pull out some Break dancing moves which is always a good time.

Well this weekend I'm off to Boulder for some UCI cross races, we'll see how that goes.

It's been awhile

2007-09-30T19:58:00.000-07:00

well school started a few weeks ago. I would have to say I have one of the most relaxed schedules I have ever had. 2 classes and co-op credits for working at RGPs. Not to shabby. The only problem is that I have to write a lot of papers and weekly updates.

Seeing how this is my last chance at racing mountain bikes for the school I decided to do some of the races and try for the national title this year. I have only raced one cross country so far but it went pretty well considering I broke my front derailleur on the first lap. I was super stoked to race our home race last weekend but it was sadly rained out. To me that sounds crazy that a MTB race is rained out but considering where the race is it would have been who ever can run the fastest with their bike strapped on their back. So this weekend I am racing at Grand Junction where I hopefully can get a win to boost the confidence before nationals.

Although I have been racing on the mountain bike I have been riding the cross bike a lot lately, not the new bike but that should be built soon. I have been itching to race cross considering that the season kicked off last weekend, I have been looking at the results and I have been so jealous of everyone racing their cross bikes. So I booked a ticket to fly home next Thursday so I can race at Gloucester, my favorite race.

In other news we got a new roomy at unit 51, his name is Lil' Mig and hes a cat. He's a hyper hypo but he's pretty cool.

What is up with it Vanilla Faces! This trip back to the east coast has been a pretty fun and eventfull. I have been doing a lot of wake boarding and throwing down, I've almost got the back flip down but still not yet there. The racing back here has gone really well I Won one of them, thats my first win in a while, the second race I was second to broderick. I was able to make some money and do some super sick races. Last weekend at Mount Snow I had my best race at a National or nationals race. Great Success! It was sweet to finally crack the top 15, I don't know how I did it considering I kinked my chain on the second lap and had to ride in just the big ring and either 3 or 4 in the back for the rest of the race. Now I'm in NC kick'in it with the WEllZes at a plush pad on top of a mountain. Lame update but I had to do one this month.

new hair doo and bike ridin'

2007-06-08T20:13:00.000-07:00

yea, I finally cut my hair today and decided to stop when I looked myself in the mirror and said "man I look good" and then yelled "hey everybody see how good I look."

Yea I look Good

The Teva games went alot better then Angel Fire so I think I might be able to ride well at this altitude stuff so for once I am kinda looking forward to Deer Valley. Team 3-D finally got new Uni's or costumes so I don't have to ride with me boys hanging out. I also saw Ocean's 13 with TT and The Real One I thought it was really good, one that you may have to watch a few more times to become a classic.
well see you when i see you.

whammy

2007-05-30T19:44:00.000-07:00

yea thats right I finally got the new frame so now I am an official member of the 3-Dorks squad. Its pretty tits it weighs around 20.5 lbs dat's nice!

I raced last weekend at Angel Fire, damn I forgot how high it was there. I was breathing through a straw between every pedal stroke. I haven't felt that shitty and tired after a race in awhile, my bod just isn't used to that much oxygen deprevasion. A couple words of wisdom, don't race at altitude. Sadly I am going to punish myself again this weekend in Vail, atleast I will be able to eat at Bob's place.

We had Winston over for a couple of days and he was well behaved aside from humping Richards leg a couple of times, It must be the red hair extreme resemblance an irish sheep dog.

Now that I have the new frame the old one is for sale its on ebay but if you want to buy it send me an email @ adsnyder@fortlewis.edu best offer goes.

California racing

2007-05-09T10:49:00.000-07:00

Well school has been over with for a while now which I am totally physched about, and I actually had my best semester yet somehow? training has been going well and has finally paid off. The races in California went well I still wasn't able to top my best result but I still had some really good consistant races. Aside from staying really far from the venue in Santa Maria where the 3 of us 3-Ders were the only crackers and the mandatory fiestas that started at 12am sharp and ended promptly at 4am. I finally bucked up and bought my first pair of ear plugs so I could sleep. Anyways I was able to accomplish my goal of placing top 25 in all the national races. In Santa Ynez I was 21st a pretty respectable result and I also finished a short track which I think was the biggest result. Now I know what it feels like and I don't think i really like staying in for 25 minutes, every time i came through the start finish I was in so much pain and I would look at frosty hoping he would pull me but he never did which I guess is a good thing. During the break between the two Cali races i went and stayed at Austins' house living it up in the OC for a few days until I made my way down to Fontana where the Semis out number the population of Ontario and Fontana combined. The races there were a little faster with everybody being there but I still managed to place 24th. I feel as if it was a better results because the whole field was their and I also didn't race like a vagina. There was only one mishap that slowed down my performance and that was catching my crotchal region on my seat and tearing away at my manhood and shorts. Luckily I only lost the group I was with and was able to hold on to a top 25. The next day in the short track a total cluster fuck I was able to have a really good 10 minutes riding in the top 25 then completely mushroom clouding and falling back to 30th finishing 20 minutes of the 25 minute race. All in all it was a good trip and hopefully something to build on for a top 15 at Nationals.

Oh yea the bear has almost cleared out of the Den and heading his himself back to NY and the new replacement is moving in soon. we'll miss our little bear ending our 4 year room mate stint.

Talk about your close calls.

chunck up tha deuce

2007-04-22T20:20:00.000-07:00

yea some how I was second today in the collegiate race. I can't believe I am saying this but the race was actually kinda fun. It never really went to hard which I liked and on the last lap I was just covering some guy because schmitty had a gap but then our own team mate attacked and pulled schmitty in and then went for the win himself so I then decided to go and rolled it in with scmitty on my wheel for second. I would have to say the bear once again wins the most aggressive/went the hardest award of the day. I think he attacked 107 times, I might have lost count around 90 but he still managed to come in 11th.

Tomorrow I have my only final and I think I might start studying a bit now i don't think it should be too tough. Although today I had a group meeting where we were supposed to just do a quik in and out mission but it ended being like a 3.5hr meeting with me pretty much doing all the work, and anybody who knows me knows that I never do school work or try when doing school work. lets just say I don't think our presentation is going to go to sweet. Well next up is the Santa Ynez Norba so hopefully I didn't use up my luck this weekend so I can finally have a big race go off without any problems.

The end is near

2007-04-20T06:28:00.000-07:00

Dude, I am pretty dang excited school is almost out for summer. I am just printing up a paper right now and then handing the little bastard in today. After that I only have 1 exam early Monday morning and then all the rest of my finals are "Presentations" which I am just going to be watching so I would like to say I am dun.

On another note Sea Otter was last weekend and it went well except for rolling a tire in the XC. I was surprised that I had a decent TT, mid pack but for me that's good considering I blow at them, Then I raced the short track in some sweet muddy and nasty conditions that made it fun time to drudge around in the slop and finally finish a short track even though it was the slower heat. Then on to the XC where I was having a good one until about 30ish miles into it where I rolled my tire and then had to re inflate it only to have it go flat on me again. After my shit luck I began to ride like an idiot and chase back on to the group I was with or any group I could find to cover me from the 30 mph head winds but that didn't happen and I had to face them on my own which lead to the inevitable explosion and cramp up, in the end I finished my first Sea Otter not in the best fashion but a step in the right direction.?

This weekend is the FLC home collegiate races and I think that I am going to grace the back of the pack with my presence on Sunday for the road race. For some reason it doesn't matter how well I am riding on the MTB I can't even hang with Clydesdale Cat 5s on the climbs. fuck it.

T-minus 1 until Raceday

2007-03-30T08:39:00.000-07:00

Well the first Norba is upon us. Imade it down to Phoenix with C-Wizzie in a reasonable time with no problems,it was sweet we made it down here on 1 tank of gas although we did have to start putting it in neutral on all the descents but nontheless we made it on one tank. We rode a couple laps on the TT course it is the same course as the Xc 2 years ago, from what CPR (Cody Peterson Racing) says the XC is a bit rockier and a long one. That might work in my favor seeing how I still can't get my heart rate above 165 so if it is a long race then I won't bink and hopefully other people will and i can pass them on the last lap. I saw a couple of the usuals at the venue and it is nice to see everyone again and it makes me really excited to start racing again.

Enough about the race i'm sure you'll hear more later. I only have 3 more weeks of school left for the semester not for life...did you think that I was actually graduating on time. As far as not updating in a while I haven't really done anything to special except for racing in St. George and that did't go well but I did have a good skinsuit to wear. On another note the Bear is moving out at the end of May so if you would be interested in living with me and the workout legend himself Richard give me a shout. well i got to go there are 7 Holiday Inn cinnamon rolls calling my name.

3rd annual Coffee shop ride '07

2007-02-07T15:41:00.000-08:00

Man I love the rest week. Today Richard and I went on the epic coffee shop ride. We stopped and drank a cup of coffee at 5 of the towns major coffee shops.

First stop was Bread we needed a little food so we wouldn't bonk on the ride.

The second stop was the BEAN.

#3 DCC

#4 the corporate cup of coffee @ the BUCK

With all this coffee in his system Richard can squint himself to 20/20 vision.

I also found this cool sign in town.

Then onto the last stop The old D. Joes

After all that coffee i need to take a nap, it will be like I'm doing base because my heart rate will still be in the 140s.

2007-02-03T21:32:00.000-08:00

Anyways theres really not much going on in my life. i have just been going to classes riding and watching movies. When i went skiing on wednesday it was pretty sweet i was throwing down in the park except when i was throwing myself on the ground trying to do some tricks i haven't done in over a year. I plan on going skiing a couple of times during this coming week because it is my first rest week of base. giddy up.

I had to "Borrow" this one from a photographer back home

This one is courtesy of the Bear

Riding has been going well these couple of weeks except for the bitter cold temps we have been experiencing, it hasn't been that cold but for riding it sucks. I have been riding with frozen bottles every day this week, now i know what Sager has been complaining about.

Dave's older brother

Richard Timmons' older bro has been hanging out at the house for the past week and he has turned into quit the little ski bunny. I think the two of them went skiing 6 out of the 7 days this week.

Last night i went to RGPs and did a little hanging out with Chris and The Real One and after closig time we had a few brews at the beerFest that was going on outside the door then we went to the parade that looked extremely similar to all the other ones that i have seen here. The best part of the parade was hanging with chris and watching the people try and go into the mall then chris telling them its locked but as soon as they walk away he opens the door and goes in so the people run back to the door and he locks it again, one guy got so pissed he called chris a "Scallywag" i guess that was fitting seeing how the theme was Butt Pirates for Snowdown. Later on that night the Bear got his Thrasher Bike stolen from outside of Joel's I can't imagine how but i guess it was leaning against the sign really well. So today the Bear and i went on a hunt for the BMX bike around town we decided to get two things done at once so we rode and searched, in the end we didn't find the bike but we did manage to put in 3 hrs of intense town looping. Alright i'm done i wish i could give you more but i can't think of anything good or more boring then what i just wrote.

the bear almost does it.

2007-01-19T16:06:00.000-08:00

Well we had a good crowd spectating.

The bear started off strong downing 3 wraps under 10 minutes. I think it was partly due to the cheers of the crowd.

He then slowed a bit and it took him about 7 minutes to get down the 4th wrap. Then on to the 5th wrap. He needed some coaching so who better then his eating coach.

So by the time that he finished his 5th wrap he had crushed his old record by 6 minutes. thats 5 wraps in 26 minutes. Once the 6th wrap came around the bear was looking like he was hurting.

by the end the bear ate 6 wraps in 44 minutes and 44 seconds and now holds a new record for most wraps put down in one sitting but in the end i was a little dissapointed because he didin't get the 6 wraps down at the 32 mark.

Ohh yea here is a good shot of a real bear eating a wrap.

Well thats it for now.

Back in the swing of things

2007-01-19T10:05:00.000-08:00

School this semester is not fun. My classes are probably the most boring ones that i have had in my whole college career. Besides that my break was a good time, i moved all around the eastside. I spent some time in Mass doing some ski coaching/drinking for about a week and then moved on up to southern vermont and did some skiing if thats what you want to call it. It was in the mid 50s and there was hardly any snow but they managed to put up some rails so i was jibbing everyday. After i was through with southern Vermont i headed on up to northern Vermont to stay with Nate in Stowe. That was sweet, the skiing was actually good, and i actually got in some skinny skiing up the smugglers notch pass. I would have to say the descent down smugglers notch gap was the scariest descent i have ever done on skate skis, the only thing that saved my life was being able to shred some telli turns around the switch backs.

Here is a picture of my little guy doing what he does best.

Last week i decided to prolong my break and put base off for a week so i could focus on my studies. yea right! On tuesday i started base in the extremely frigid temps we have been experiencing here in D-town. On my first ride of the year i almost threw in the towel probably because i did a valley loop. I decided to give it another try on Wednesday and it started to come back together so i have officialy started my training for the 2007 season. Last night Richard, the Bear and I went to the rails on chapman hill and did some jibbing, i was trying to teach Richard how to hit them but they have some difficult rails there to try and learn on. The Bear took some pictures of the rail sesh so he might have them on his site.

On another note the bear is attempting to break his previous record of 5 wraps under 32 minutes at RGPs today around 3 o'clock so if your in town come watch. I have been working closely with the bear on his eating style and technique and i think that he can do it and maybe even more. i will have some photos later on.

Nationals

2006-12-16T17:40:00.000-08:00

Man what a crazy race. I started in the last row, the 17th row 128 position. Lets just say that i had to pass alot of people and piss alot of people off just so i could try to place myself in the better half of the field. After about four laps i hit the total detonation button and fell back a few spots but on the last lap i got my second wind and passed about ten more guys to finally finish up in the early 40s, not what i was looking for at all but with the circumstances i think i did well. Trebon took the victory while poor toodles ended up in 4th not able to hold on the title for the second year after i guess he crashed super hard.

Thompson also had some bad luck he was in the race for third but instead of going around a tree he decided to go in for a closer look. and WHammmy! he still did well ending up in 7th. well thats enough for me i 've got to rest up for the big collegiate battle tomorrow, our chicks did not have to great of races so we have some work cut out for us. wish me luck.

I'm almost there

2006-12-02T18:50:00.000-08:00

Man school is almost over for this semester. I am so excited, after this only two more semesters of this school thing.

The east coast was a good time. i was able to celebrate my bithday with some old friends from back home that i haven't seen in awhile. I did some really fun and hard races when i was back home. The race at sterling was going well until i had some problems with my chain and that shot me right to the back. All i could do for the rest of the race was try to not get lapped. Atleast i am riding well so there is some good news. Another good thing that happened when i was home was that i got my FREE JASON SAGER t-shirt from Colt. All i need now is some FREE SAGER wrist bands.

Last night Troy, The Real One and I went to the new wine bar in durango and it was pretty good but all the wine was pretty expensive. Last night was one of the most expensive nights i have had here in durango.

Tomorrow we habe the Russel the Muscle cross race. It is a very short lap but it is going to be a fun one. There are like 5 or 6 barriers they are going to have out there. So far all of them are hoppable. The bear and i were practicing them today but we both ate shit a couple of times but now we have it down.

here is a pic from a race back home its a little fuzzy though

and one of my dag

East coast here i come

2006-11-15T20:18:00.001-08:00

I am counting down the days until thanksgiving break. I don't want to sound like shriver but school is cracking me. I'm not taking it to seriously but shit it still requires some work.

Well the races this weekend went alot better then the past weekends. So atleast i am starting to come around. The race up on campus was sweet, it was definatly the best race we have had on campus and the crowds fuwget about it they were off the heez, well atleast in the beer garden. Frank the Tank was out there taking some pro photos and Chris and Jen were out there cheering just as hard as a crowd of 100 euros.
here are some pics
This was where mapel was yelling "Kids got Grit"
Richard Timmons's race was on sunday and it was sweet. It was a burly course and really fun. The crowds or entrants weren't half the size of Saturdays race but it still was a tough race. Travis came out ready on a MTB and i would have to say it was much faster. The barriers were set up well and they were easily hoppable so i took full advantage of that and i was able to hop them every lap. In the end i got schooled by Thompson and T. Brown and ended up in 3rd.

On Friday i go back to the east side for my B-Day and Thanksgiving break. There are some awsome races when i get back. they aren't anything big but there still gonna be hard. I sure hope my pilot shows up for the flight on friday.

Well i went to boulder last weekend and it went alright. i'm sure you've read it wasn't the best course lets just say it was flat and sandy. I was snubbed in the write up by cyclingnews, the two Wells dorks weren't the only ones hoping the dock during the race. I heard yesterday that it may have been Todd to blame for this. I am going to go buy a dog just so it will poo on his bed to get him back for Winston pissing on mine and the snubbing me in the write up.

.This week was extremely uneventful besides not having any kids come by to trick or treat when we bought a bunch of candy and writing an ass long paper nothing has happened. Well Tomorrow I am back on the road again with the Bear and i am sure something interesting will happen during our short commute to boulder.

maybe this again while we're driving up wolf creek pass.

We are definatly stopping here again.

I hope that there will be barriers that we can do this on.

I heard that the courses this weekend should be good. Maybe the weather might get nasty i hope. I was looking on Bikereg and the field looks pretty big almost as big as Glowsta.

Wish me luck i'm gonna need it.

Man what a long week. First off Little thompson turned into a man by drinking himself retarded on his birthday no thanks to me. He had to miss class on friday because of it (amatuer).

This past weekend The real one and I put on the cross races, i think it was the best course that we have made up on campus. Thompson is killing it right now, a group of us stayed together for over half the race until thompson attacked and shattered us all and then later shattered colby for the win. I rolled in with the first spot on the extended podium.

You probably already know that FLC won the title again and hagman just schooled the whole field in both races. Man this post sucks i am going to finish now

I'm heading to Boulder this weekend with the bear, so i am sure i will have some really good stories to tell. I am brining a cage and tranquilizer darts to sedate the bear in case he becomes irritable.

Well this week was a little uneventful. I did the shriver cross on saturday and got my ass handed to me. I was really looking to do well, i mean these are the races that are going to dictate my future as a cyclist. The cyclocross group ride actually had some people on it today, so thats sweet.

Tomorrow is a big day, i would like to be the first to wish little J-Thompson a happy b-day.

Its his birthday he can cry if he wants to.

Well thats it, this is the first post i have done while sitting on the "throne".

These guys were burly, they were on road bikes.

WoW! thats all i have to say about this weekend. It was a shock to the system to start cross racing once again. It felt like i was having a heart attack and breathing through a straw while i was racing. All those east coast dudes are nuking right now. I can't believe how fast everyone is riding. If you messed up in one corner or slowed on a straight away a group would come flying passed you going 100 mph.

The first day of racing was a struggle, for the first 30 min of the race I looked like a retarded kid trying to hump a door knob. I was hovering in the mid 80s for the first half and then i finally opened up and moved up into the 50s where i finally finished. The next day was a little better but still not any bit of a performance that i was looking for. I tried lining up earlier for the race then the day before because there were about 110 guys racing but When i got to the line i was in the last row again. I was there 20 minutes early! But anyways i just tried to go fast and move up as much as possible and i ended up in 35th so not bad.

It was definatly nice to stay at home and see some friends and also see the family. I saw my "Puppy" who is like a year old but is already 105 lbs, hes a big dude. He went to his first cross race on sunday but he got loose on a straight away while watching the womens race and he attempted to chase down one of the ladies that was in the back of the pack. The girl flipped out but my mom got a hold of him and controlled the situation. Thats enough for now i have to start a paper for tomorrow.

I have received a couple of comments that are not suitable to post, they were quite threatening so i decided to update.

I am not going to bore you with my summer. it was pretty uneventfull and full of disapointment. I've got some funny pictures from when Perry lived with me for a couple of months but thats about it.

Here is a picture that summed up my racing this season. If you can't tell i am extremely pissed not because i was riding like shit but because my bike kept blowing up. In this photo my crank arm had already fallen off and i had already rode 1 legged for half a lap until the pit.

Anyways this school semester is packed with working at RGP's, classes, and trying to have a successful cross campaighn to make this season a halfway success.

On another note the new house is sweet and is holding up. Chuji moved out finally this weekend and Richard Timmons is now the new inhabitant of the Bears Den. I am headed out to the East side this weekend to gloucester for the first USGP. so hopefully that goes well. I have no idea how my form is so it will be a good guessing game out there.

well its been awhile. I really haven't done much since school has been over. I actually some how made it out of the semester with a 3. I was worried that i was going to be on academic probation.
After classes ended The Bear, Tokyo Joe, and I moved into our new place at Parkside. Its a pretty pimp pad. Lets just say it taint no 1145 but it has its own character like cleanliness and space. Just today i finished moving all my stuff into my room.

The race down in Fontuckey was a good one. The course was way better then what i had heard but it was still a crazy power rider course. The longest climb was on pavement. I finished up decently but i am still not pleased with the result. hopefully being home and training there for awhile will help me out for the next upcoming NORBAs. After the race we headed to In and Out for a awsome post STXC meal, i haven't ate there in awhile so it was what i might say a Treat? Yesterday before i flew out of the O.C we went to the Oakley head quarters and checked out all the cool stuff they have there and we got to see some top secret new stuff thats coming out.

After just flying back to D-Town last night i am headed back to the airport to fly back home tommorow at 6:20 am so i better try and hit the sack.

Seriouse Texas Buttcrack

2006-04-25T18:36:00.000-07:00

Today i had one of my finals, i think it went o.k. Now i only have two more left. I also went for a little MTB spin today in the gulch. And yes, it was off the hook.

I went to Seriouse Texas BBQ for taco night with Mr. T-Hop himself. While we were enjoying our tacos Joey says to me "hey look over there" and just while I'm taking a bite i turn around and i see this huge Butt Crack grilling me. OHHH Smack.

In other news i heard Sager is in town. This time I think it's for real. I wonder if he would want to go MTBing tomorrow?

Schools out for Summer! Well sort of. I just have three finals this week and then school will be out for the summer. I think i may have pulled off my best semester so far. I think it might be in the 3s. Last week i was on the Todd Wells program or on Bob Villa Show this old Apartment. I fixed up the holes in the walls and then repainted them so now this place actually looks O.K. I can't wait to move into my new place, its gonna suck having to move but it will be totally worth it.

Yesterday i put in an awsome 2 hour race pase effort out in the gulch, i didn't think that i could re-enact a race simulation that well. When i woke up this morning i was in pain all over, so i know i did a good one. Like I daid in the last post the trails are just perfect right now I couldn't imagine road riding instead of MTBing with these superb conditions. I haven' heard how the boys faired at the collegiate races but i bet they did well. The tour De georgia has definatly been an interesting one, i am sorry to say but i had a feeling Floyd was going to get the big W.

You have got to check out Bryce's website i just saw last night it is one of my new faviorites.

It's been a week

2006-04-16T20:03:00.000-07:00

Well i am almost dun school. I have a debate with LeeRo this wednesday against the Master Debaters of or class, i think were in trouble. The trails here in D-town are tip top. I have put in 18 hrs of MTBing this week. If you haven't riden the Cheney trail i suggest you ride it, i don't care if you are a roadie its better then riding Kuhl's mom.

Today i suited up for the home race in my Gary Dean outfit. It consisted of a cut off sleeve white shirt, tube socks with work boots, daisy dukes, my mullet wig with a trucker hat. I looked good. I also finally put to use the cone we found on the road last fall, it was a good cheer leader megaphone.

We had dinner at the wellz's tonight, it was good. I didn't get as drunk as i wanted. anywho it was good to shoot the shit with people that know your name.

SEA OTTER

2006-04-09T21:03:00.000-07:00

Talk about the worst luck and working bike in known history. The one word that sums up the weekend is poop. The super XC was nice and muddy, i was loving the conditions but my bike wasn't. During the first lap i lost both of my brakes i was trying to stop with metal against metal and from my experience that doesn't work. I lost alot of spot because i had to run the descents and on the track i couldn't make the tight 180 degree turn so every lap i would almost smash into the cement wall. The TT went ok i didn't have any problem besides myself. The short track started out really well. I was trailing right behind Walker and Trebon for the first 2 laps until yet again i lost my brakes. I fell back a couple of places and then yes i lost my shifting so i fell back very quickly and got pulled. On to the XC the first lap was descent i made up some spot and i was feelling reasonably well until psssssssssssssss. I flatted but then i fixed it and kept rolling. I didn't really start making up any spots after the flat because i was so cold after stopping in the rain so i was riding in the 70s and the again booooom. I rolled my tire, i started walking and waited for someone to throw me a tube. I ran into a course marshal and he gave me a tube so i fixed it and as soon as i started to roll again i heard the course marshal call me in for recieving a tube from someone else not in the tech zone so i was DSQued. i finally finished Sea otter but i was disqualified. Besides the racing the only thing i have been doing is my 20 page paper due on wednesday.

Life after cycling

2006-03-29T21:22:00.000-08:00

Today while i was studying for my two tests tomorrow i was thinking about what i might want to do for a job when i am done riding my bike. I thought of the three things that spiked my interest and decided to share them with you.

I think that i would make a good replacement for Batman when he retires. except i would have to cut my hair.

Or a Mexican Wrestler. I don't think i would fit in in the WWE but i think i could manage in Mexico.

And of course i thought that i would make a good stunt double for Chuck Norris but then i got to thinking and remembered that Chuck doesn't use stunt doubles. So I thought that i could become a mini me for chuck or a semi full sized clone since Chuck is 10ft tall.

The weather here in Durango still has been shitty, so i went and did a sweet town loop and called it considering that it is a rest week. I am definatley looking forward to leaving town to go and race in Cali but i have been checking the weather and it looks just as bad.

well i think it would be good to call it a night

Rest Week

2006-03-28T18:33:00.000-08:00

I feel like such a lazy bastard compaired to everyone else with a blog. I read everybody elses blogs and they all raced this weekend and kicked ass. i would first like to congratulate Big man Brent Bookwalter for killing it at Redlands then i would like to congratulate Andy Guptizzle and Johnny "Big Legs" Hayes on a job well done at Redlands. On the MTB side of things Big Wells won in Puerto Rico with a strong Sager placing 3rd. Man i want to race badly. Well The "Sea Donkey" is coming up soon and for some reason i am looking forward to it this year.

Hopefully Kemper pulls through this year with supplying me/us with our new rides at sea otter. Rumor has it that we might be getting our new costumes. If you don't know the way of Devo then you don't understand that we sometimes don't get our uniforms until August. I am not expecting much though.

I am finally done transition and now i am on a rest week so i will hopefully be able to get all the school work that i have been putting off for all semester done. wish me luck.

ohh yea how about that whole spat between The real one and Red Eye. Man

Another week down

2006-03-19T16:49:00.000-08:00

This is what i have been doing all day but mostly in sweatpants.

Man i have been OTB on the updates. This week was my second week of transition and i got-R-done. Friday night we went out for Guptills birthday party at Skinnys after that we ended up at Joels. When we were at Joels we had a nice little nook in the corner of the bar so once we were seated i decided to get Guptill a drink and when i came back there were three more dudes dressed in all green and extremely shitty standing with our crew. In the begining they were calm and nice until they introduced themselves and one of them told us he was from Canada and everyone in an unconciouse act laughed and like every proud canadian he took that to heart. So he wanted to take on 7 of us at once, so i was game. After awhile of threatening us and telling us he was a cage fighter he and his buddies left. Then they came back in even more pissed then before only because "someones girlfriend" thought she was a cage fighting bouncer and tried to make them leave, so of course that pissed all 3 of them off. Just as things are really escalating the ral bouncers came over and broke one of there noises and they finally left. So in the end it turns out there was no brawl just alot of laughing like little school girls afterwards.

I did the D-town group ride on Saturday and that was so-so. All the town folk and college kids followed RMCF out the valley thinking that was the ride but they were on a easy ride so needless to say it was kinda lame riding fast through the valley. I kept the heart rate at 160 on the climbs so i wasn't staying with the big boys (Rolando) but i was feeling decent. Joey T and Kuhl had a little spat on the ride, that was funny but that story is for another day. Today was a rest day so i am sitting in the same position on the coach that i was in at 10:00am this morning, and i still have alot of T.V to watch.

Suited up for the ride and ready to become a MAN

The bears Down

my steed after the ride

Today Da bear, the two goonies, and i did a sweet little ride around town and to bread on the mountain bikes. I haven't seen this much snow fall at one time here in Durango. It has been snowing for like 3 days straight and it is supposed to snow for another 3 days. Just think last weekend it was 70 here and now it is barely reaching 25. The one good thing about the snow is that it makes the roads nice and slick for some fun driving.

Damn this weather has been excelent for riding. I am very excited that i stayed in D-town for spring break. The trip to moab last weekend was fun, we got in some good riding and some really good burn lines. So now I have a good base tan for the snow. It was also nice to ride with Mr. Big time himself Jason Sager. He is a funny fellow. I also received my annual Monticello speeding violation. Chalk another one up for this guy.

My parents were also in town earlier this week which did put a damper on some fun during spring break, but there is an upside because we have been looking at houses and stuff so i won't be living in 1145 for much longer. Also the bear let the Goon squad stay at the house for the rest of the break and last night they got krunked. Chops thanked us for staying here by loosing it all over our bathroom.

Lazy Bastard

2006-02-23T19:25:00.000-08:00

Well, I havent really been keeping up at all, I have been to busy being lazy, I let me tell you that takes up a lot of time. I got my new bike this week. Been putting some serious miles on that bad boy. It gets about 15 mins per charge so I figure that will get me through a NORBA. I raced Valley of the Sun last wek. IT went okay nad finished 16th overall. Maybe if Adiga could ride a road race he could win some KOM's. Looks like Joesp is not doing the moutnain bike stuff anymore. What a fag. Also I got some Scary Fast gloves if anybody wants some sweet stuff. Send me and email.

POOP

2006-02-22T20:34:00.000-08:00

Lately i have been having a lot of experience with that word. First off today i think one of the employes (Tokyo JOEL) at RGPs put some Laxitives in my wrap, because during my ride i had to stop twice at bathrooms and when i got back from the ride i had to go again. Also our toilet is clogged and Troy threw away the plunger.

On another note i am almost done base, i am counting down the days. My road bike might not make it till the end though, she is dieing quickly. I broke my front shifter this weekend when i was on the trainer and now i need a new chain and cassett. I think three seasons is good for a road bike.

I went mountain biking in the Gulch yesterday, man was that muddy. I can't wait unitl they are in good riding form again because i am getting fried riding the road bike. Speaking of mountain biking i think The Real One, Troy and I are going to go to Moab for a couple of days during Spring Break. I also got a new battery for my car because the damn thing just would not recharge or jump start anymore. Thats It
I wonder if Perry will update or give me a call because frankly i am worried.

This sucks Read This. Silver still aint bad.

I'm so confused

2006-02-16T19:47:00.000-08:00

I have been facing a really hard decision tonight. I am torn between watching the mens boarder cross or the Walker Texas Ranger movie, its the one when Alex and Walker get married. Right now i am switching between channels to see if the BX is on but when its on i don't know what i will watch. I think it will be the boarder cross then back to Chuck.

Today i went on a MTB ride in the Gulch. It was o.k. There are still alot of moist spots out there, and when the gulch is moist it tends to be a slow and demanding ride. Aside from it being pretty muddy both of my pedals broke off of thier spindles so i had to pedal while pushing my feet inwards so they stayed on the spindles. It wasn't that bad though i only had to ride like that for an hour and a half.

Tonight we stopped at the Wells residence on our way to Shitty Market. We went and picked up some candle holders that Troy really wanted so we loaded the box of them in my car. Little did i know there was one filled with colorfull sand, so when i cornered it spilt all over the back of my car. BEEAAAARRR!! Damn you and your stress relieving candles.

Man i haven't updated for a while. Nothing has really happened this week. I have been putting in a lot of T.V time lately now that the Olympics are on. It's pretty sweet that both the men and women pulled through in the Half pipe. I was kinda pissed that Gretchen didn't get the gold because she is alot hotter then Hannah. I can't wait to watch some of the Nordic races, they are going to be fast and furious. The races probably aren't going to be as crazy as a Nordic race against Joey and chris though.
Today was a Rest day so i did nothing. The biggest and most energy i exerted today was getting to my car and starting it and then driving down to RGPs. It was an effort starting my car today because the little bastards battery died so i had to jump the little guy. That was the first time since i have owned her that she failed me.
Base is quickly coming to an end. Last week i put in 24.5 hrs. that is the first time that i can remember to date that i actually went over on my hours. only two more weeks left. In case you wanted to know i finally cleaned my room, i can see the floor now. While doing that i got all my laundry done so i have alot of clean clothes. well i think i should end this one i am starting to sound like todd.

WARNING The pictures you are about to see may make you sick. people weak in the stomach should not view

2006-02-07T20:00:00.000-08:00

I found these in the National Geographic. they were shot by a brave photographer who encountered this bear while it was eating during mating season.
These amazing pictures are of the bear shattering his old record of 4 RGP wraps in one day. Today the bear pulverized 5 wraps in 32 minutes. I had one big wrap today and i felt really full but the bear of course is a different animal.
Well this weekend was a good time. You probably saw pics of the parade on the real ones site so i wont post any. Actually the only float that I remember passing bye was the float with the girls and their glowing PANTIES. Everything else is a drunken blurr. After the parade i went home early with George, i was afraid that if i did go out i would have awoken on the floor of the lost dog at 4:45am getting swept up by a bouncer. Both Saturday and Sunday i rode early in the am. then went out for a ski at purg. The park there was o.k, i was able to huck the usuall tricks that i normally do, so it was a good time. Today i started my second block of base. Gidddey up.

i cant seem to stop drinking wine. now that the injuried bear has come back into town he has been a bad influence. I have had a bottle of wine already and still on the way. I have to say the bear is pretty banged up. He looks like he was attacked by a rabies infected koala. We are planning on getting krunked both days this weekend. i am going to be hurtin' on my rides this weekend. Good thing that i am on my rest week. Tomorrow is the snow down parade so we are having a little get together with the RGPs gang so i know it will be a good time. so far this week i haven't done much but i think i will have some good stories from this weekend and maybe some pictures?

Torino watch out

2006-01-22T21:02:00.000-08:00

i would just like to congratulate to people that are really close to me for making the olympics in Torino. First off is my latest Ex-girlfriend Lindsey Jacobellis who qualified for the womens boardercross a while ago but sadly the decision was made today and she did not qualify for the half pipe yesterday in NJ. The other one is Andy Newell, one of my good friends that i went to school with at stratton, he qualified for the sprint and team sprint in cross country skiing. Watch for their races because both of them are going to take home some hardware.

in other news i rode with Chad Wells and Bryce Glovatsky or something like that. We went and rode the road apple coarse, man that coarse is long. The funny thing is we went down there for warmer weather and less snow but it was colder and more snow then in town i guess we should have just stayed in town. Also if you have been reading about the bear then you know that the poor little guy can't sleep, i guess when he gets back in town he will be doing some hibernating for a few days. well thats all i got today.

2006-01-21T18:48:00.000-08:00

Yesterday i went out and put in a little over three hours on the MTB. This base season is awesome the weather here has been incredable so it is easy to just go out and put in the hours on the MTBizzle. Half of my hours this week have been on the mountain bike.
Last night was megs b-day at carvers in the vip room. Kuhl, Chopps and i decided to go down with some beer bongs in us before we went down. The party at carvers was of the hook the beer was flowing like wine and there were just a bunch of people there. Afterwords Red eye, Amanda and I went to Joels where we threw down, red bull and vodka was the choice of the night. Later on we found ourselves at the Lost Dog. Around 1:00am they closed the club early on us because some dude ripped a urinal out of the wall and flooded the front of the place. good thing that happened or i would have been out until 3 am. This morning I woke up with that still drunk feeling so i sat on the couch for a little while longer then usual which resulted in me missing the group ride. Once i got a little more hydrated i decided to go out the valley, i planned to ride up to purg but since i was Houston swirving and still seeing double vision i decided to just call it and finish up the valley. Since the ride i have been on the coach going in and out of naps between jean claud van dame movies. well see you later

Mr. CLean, Mr. Clean

2006-01-15T16:02:00.001-08:00

Holly Hell what a day. Remember what 1145 used to look like, well totally forget about that because it now looks sanitary. today we rented a carpet steam cleaner from wally world. I decided to take on the job of being stanley steamer. The floor is nice and clean, the kitchen is clean, and my bathroom is clean. I feel like a Desperate housewife.

Enough of that talk, yesterday was such nice weather it was definatly in the 50s for awhile and not that windy so the real one and i did a record pased bayfield- ignastio (record pase for us during base). Today on the other hand we where not as blessed, I awoke to flurries outside and snow accumulating on the ground. I was only lacking one hour to fulfill this weeks total, so i decided to not ride. Instead of riding i did the cleaning thing.

Last but not least last night when i went grocery shopping i forgot my credit card when i was checking out so i told the cashier i would be right back. when i went running out to my car i noticed a blonde haired punk trying to rip my grill off of my car so i yelled and began to sprint after the kid but he had a good distance on me so i couldn't catch him. His friend was parked in a silver a4 just like mine far up in the lot in a good position to get away so you guessed it he also got away. Don't worry they never got my grill fully off. It fits on my car fine still but one of the tabs is broken. who would guess in Durango some little wankster would be trying to steal grillz.

i haven't updated in a long time so i guess i owe a happy christmahanaquanzikah to everyone and a happy new year. i had a good break it was filled with many good stories and adventures alot of them i can not write about. Once i made it home i borrowed gertrude again. in case you don't know gertrude she is a 1985 red chevy 1500 with a mean 350 v8. She can leave a mean patch. On the drive home with gertrude she all of a sudden got really loud so i pulled her aside and discovered that her exhaust came off. So needless to say i was on the side of the road for 45 minutes trying to unbend the exhaust that was wrapped around the rear axle. For the next couple of days it sounded like a monster truck was pulling into your drive way.
Besides that i did alot of skiing, it was good fun. Stratton did not have that good of a terrain park but i managed. The week after christmas I helped out with the race team. They have a camp during christmas where kids from surrounding mountains come and train for the week. I helped coach the 9-11 year olds and that is always fun. It is sweet when you get paid for skiing with a bunch of little kids that rip.
New years was a good time. i went as a guest of the honorary guest at the millionaires club on stratton. The party was sweet, i had filet mignon and plenty of shots of grey goose to wash it down. That was a long night i didn't go to sleep until 3:45.
On the 4th i flew with some friends to Orlando, Fl to bring the motha fuckin' rukus on Disney World. We were supposed to go to Cancun but the hotel we were going to stay at was destroyed by the old hurrican. But we still had a good time. We went to Pleasure Island at night and almost all the parks during the couple of days. We got booted out of the Magic Kingdom for being to wild in the haunted house i am never going back to the kingdom again. Universal was probably the best it has some cool rollercoasters.
I got the first day of base done so one down and i don't even know how many to go.

10 things you may or may not know about Chuck Norris

2005-12-13T21:17:00.000-08:00

for all you that hate on Chuck Norris read this and you may change your mind. This took me awhile to type so read it.

1) Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. too bad he has never cried.
2) A man once asked Chuck Norris if his real name is Charles. Chuck Norris did not respond, he simply stared at him until he exploded.
3)Rather then being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead decided to punch his way out of his mother's womb. Shortly thereafter he grew a beard.
4)The original theme song to Transformerswas actually "Chuck Norris more then meets the eye, Chuck Norris-robot in disguise," and starred Chuck Norris as a Texas ranger who defended the the earth from drug dealing Decepticons and could turn into a Dodge Pick up truck. This was far too much awesome for a single show, however, so it was divided.
5)Chuck Norris once shot down a german plan with his finger, by yelling, " BANG!"
6)When Chuck Norris and his family play Oregon trail his family does not die from cholera or dysentery, but rather roundhouse kicks to the face. He also requires no wagon, since he carries the oxen, axels, and buffalo meat on his back. He also always makes it to Oregon before you.
7)Chuck Norris can make a women climax by simply pointing at her and saying "BOOYA."
8)Before each filming of Walker Texas Ranger, Chuck Norris is injected with 5 times the lethat dose of elephant tranquilizer. This is, of course, to limit his strength and mobility, in an attempt to lower the fatality rate of the actors he fights.
8)Chuck Norris does not sleep, he waits.
9)Chuck Norris took my virginity, and he will sure as hell take yours. If you are thinking to yourself, "Thats impossible. I already lost my virginity," then you are dead wrong.
10)Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs.

again congrats to the wells bros. you guys kick ass.

this weekend was off the chain. first off we won the the collegiate national omnium on saturday morning. then later on in the day my boy mr. national champ himself Rude E. Bear dominated a certain 6 time national champ for the win in the U-23 class. then a couple of hours later the big man himself Toodles McDuff Wells won his second national title. the only thing that sucked about the whole weekend was that they cancelled the collegiate race on friday because of snow? i thought i came to race cross. so the race was rescheduled to saturday in the am. so that meant i had to race two races in the same day. in the collegiate race i started back row and had to fight my way through around 65 collegiate riders and ended up in 7th not to bad but i wish i was in the top 5. A couple hours later i raced the U-23 race and felt fantastic for the first 25-28 minutes. i managed to make it up to 5th place until i hit the wall, really hard. i started to crash into anything i saw. so i pulled the plug. anywhoo congrats to the wells family. i think i might change my last name to wells. their cousin is kinda cute.

After that then finally my season will be over. i can't wait to not ride so i can go shred the nar nar back home. After some soooper sweet days of jibbing on some rails I'm off with some of my high school friends to Cancun, mx for a couple of days before i go back to the wintery tundra of Durango to start base and another semester of school. well thats all i got so I will report back with some CX nats results.

weekend racing

2005-12-04T12:30:00.000-08:00

The racing today was pretty aiight. The bear was on the attack he was laying the wood to shriver, grant, ransom, and yours truley. The coarse that the bear and i setup last night was kinda fun. it seemed much cooler when we were setting it up. We had a really long stair section on the course which seemed like the right idea at the time but it resulted in me jacking my ankle on them. I stepped to far into one of the stairs to far and then kept running so i caught my ankle in between the stairs. After that i couldn't really pedal with my right leg and there was no chance of me dismounting without crying like a little girl at her birthday party. Anywho i will still give you a race report.
On the starting line the front row consisted of birdman,shriver, me, troi, grant, ransom, and barthel. Right from the gun a fierce pace was set by the bear then quickly followed by shriver then trailed by grant and i. After the first barrier section shriver attacked like a mad man then dropped his chain so it was the bear and i on the front with grant just a little off my wheel. 3/4 of the way through the lap shriver caught back on with grant and i with the bear two bike lengths off the front. it stayed this way until we came around for the 2nd lap when i was passed by the gruessom twossum. Shriver caught back on with the bear who was looking cool and relaxed. this stayed the same until the third lap where the bear got a little gap on shrive-dogg and grant gapped me off. (On the third lap is when i shoved my foot into the stairs and tried to keep riding but failed so i pulled the plug). Coming around for the fourth lap the bear had a larger gap which got bigger and bigger this is what happened for the rest of the race. The bear won by a convincing amount. For the second place race shriver was caught by grant and surpassed. Thats when shriver pulled it i think? so grant was the 2 spot and ransom was third. well thats it. i think the bear might snatch 2 national titles in RI.
in other news i can finally get onto the internet with my new computer thanks to the computer expertise of the bear.

you can see me in the left corner
the pictures are from the 21st and one from sterling.
wow i haven't updated in awhile. i couldn't get any good picts from back home because it was snowing or foggy but ohh well. thanksgiving was good but not as good as DR. Franks from what i hear. the race i did in sterling was cool it was super slick. there was about 4 inches of snow on the ground. i started the race in last place and pretty much ended up in the same place. i was up there for awhile but due to the race being just one single track line and me crossing wheels with every person on the coarse i quickley became a factor in the back of the pack race. besides that i finally met the mid atlantic king fergie that guy is an animal, he raced the masters came made the podium then raced the elite race and was in the top 15. dhoood. when i flew back here to durango i was met by the bear himself at the airport who escorted me back to 1145. when i opened the door to the house it smelt like man sex in there. thats probably because kuhl and troi inhabeted the house by themselves for a week. when i got back i was quickly reminded that i missed the three hour lab for astronomy mark another D in the books for this guy. today troy and i did a little effort at folsom park amn the bear was unleashing his trademark bear attacks on me all day. i am hurtin for certin. well thats it?

sorry for the no updating after the big night but i couldn't see straight until today. i am at the local starbucks stealing the internet from some old lady next to me. first of all my big night was awsome. i got extremely krunked, i couldn't feel my legs. after steamworks we went back to our lovely palace of an apartment and hit some beer bongs. then we went to joels where i proceeded to lose my lunch in the bathroom after i was feed way to many drinks. after that we went to the L.D. and got down like...well you know who. i pulled a night at the roxberry when two girls at a table pointed at me and told me to come over so i looked around me then pointed at myself a few times then i went over. after talking to those bitches for awhile they asked me to buy them drinks and i said "Fuck no its my birthday you should be buying me drinks" then i left and danced with another fat chick.
The next morning i hit the airport to fly back to this snowy tundra. i raced on sunday and did pretty decent. i was dangling off of the back of matt white and legendary jose huseeby for awhile until i tried to take this one tight corning to sharp and washed out wich lead to me riding like an idiot for the next three laps so i ended up in 5th. i have some pics of the mud for Mr. Protour but i lost the cord for my brothers camera so once thats found there will be alot of pics. i also met a kid from N.H. named josh who reads the site so i know at least one person reads this site.
Today i awoke to a snowy tundra but that was ok because i was over the ladies place so i didn't ride. there was like 3-4 inches of snow on the ground before dark fall. i plan to ride tomorrow because troy guarented me a top 5 at sterling this weekend and i don't want him to look like a lier now do i or do i? i wonder what the real one is up to? a little todd wellism for you.

Seniora Burrito Suprema

2005-11-18T17:01:00.000-08:00

This morning I decided that today I was going to try and eat a Burrito for every meal. It started of right with a nice bacon breakfest burrito at the school cafateria. The cook there is a little slow, as in retarded, kind of like the way a certain little buddy looks, excepet this guys is acctually retarded. Not that they is anything wrong with that. So I order my Burrito and he askes if I want bacon or sausage. I told him just bacon, but when I get it, it was sausage. Whatever, so I eat it anyway. Next was lunch and made my way down to Baja Fresh, for those of you who dont live in California or Nevada, sucks for you that you dont have them. Anyway, off to Baja Fresh. So I go to order my food, and Carlos is there to take my order. Well I cant tell if Carlos is a dude or a chick. He/She wears make up plucks its eyebrows and has sparkly lotion all over him/her. He/she kind of reminds me of Kuhl on a friday night. I am getting of topic. So i get my Burrito Ultimo w/ Steak and no veggie mix, and add guaca. Delish. So now I am debating to go to Senor Fresh or Pacito Mas for my dinner Burrito.

A couple years ago I had a sleep over with my dear friend Antonio. I was looking through old pictures and found this. It is a little X-rated so if you dont want to look, than dont look. I cant figure out what is in his hand. I remember it smelling kind of funny.

Troi Willz

Gary Dean

i came back from my second ride today and these two guys were hanging out at my house. i actually know one of them, the guy with the mullet-hawk is the one and only troi willz the other guy i still don't know. today i did the group ride, it was huge there was three of us; bartman, mr. carroll, and me. it was a survival of the fitest out there. first one down was bartman, he crashed going into the barriers and bent his seat. then carroll went down also going into the barriers but he put his foot in his front wheel and flipped over the bike and bent his wheel. so i did some more laps and called it a day. later on in the day my mullet wig came in so kuhl and i decided to go and get some cheap ass suits at the thrift store for my B-Day bash. its gonna be off the hook. ohhh yea yesterday chops crashed jumping barriers again and bent another pair of bars that 2 in 2 days.

criss cross gonna make ya jump

2005-11-14T15:24:00.000-08:00

i wish i had some pics of the race but i don't. you can find pics on the real ones site. the race went shitty. i pulled the plug on it a little before mid-race. it was a good time watching it though. troi needed to make some chimmy stops during the race. he just jumped off his bike and ran into the dorms that we were racing around and unleashed the fury into some poor freshmans bathroom. i think this happened a few times. we also saw the emergence of chops mcguilicutty onto the cross circuit. chops hopped the barriers on the first attempt and went huge on the first and almost missed the second barrier but made it. but on the second attempt he hucked the first one and shorted the second which led to him breaking his carbon bars, this guy is a trooper so he finished the race with the right side of his bar only held on by the tape. showtime won again. with troi winning the fastest laps with shit stops award and chops winning the dhoooood award. Shat miver is awarded the Showtime showoff award for his preride crash into the barriers while trying to show the girls how to do it. And last but not least the dipshit dive award goes to ransom for smashing into bartman even though he had like 15 meters to stop and slow down to avoid him.
i ordered a sweet mullet wig for my birthday party. its gonna be good. its coming up quickly, i am going to be the big 21 on friday. we are going to tour the bars and the lost dog. the games are going to begin at steamworks then the bars then to the club.
well see you later

Mid-Life Crisis

2005-11-10T18:54:00.000-08:00

So I have decided to never ride a bike again...However I do have some pics from a recent Clippers Game. I am not a big sports fan but when the opportunity arrises to enjoy the Clipper s from the 5th row, I am all in. Here are the lovely pictures....

I love her...

Welcome to Perrys tower of love... may I intrest you in a HEYO!!

Biggest belt buckle I have ever seen.

This is what Adigga's hair would look like if he grew it out!

So here is the story behind this...check out the dude in the background. We were on the subway coming back from the game... and the guy in the backgroud start talking to us. He starts going off about how he just won the lottery and is going to be a millionaire soon. He told us that we should become his frineds now so that when he is a millionaire, we werent just his friends for the money. I know your thinking what a kook. Me too. It gets even crazier. Hold on to your seats. So he asks us what stop we are getting off at and we tell him Lankershin and Hollywood. Which is for real the stop we were getting off at. He tells us that we are liers and that we are going to hell. These were his exact words, "You guys are lying, I am God I know when you are lying and you are going to Hell now, hope you bring your sun block." Can you beleive that. He is out of his mind. At this point we decide to take a picture with him in the background because I wanted to put it up on the website with the story. So we get off at Lankershim and start heading out up the stars. He then follows us all the way to the parking lot, and tells us that we are destined to die in a horrible way for lying. So we are like what ever and get in the car and start to drive off, we see him run to his car and try to get in, in time to catch us. So as we pull out of the parking lot we catches us at the stop light and throughs a soda at our car. As the light turns green we pull into the street and a cop sees what has just happened . He pulls us both over ans asks us what happened. So we tell him the story , and then the cop comes back and tells us that his man had escaped from the local mental institute. CRAZY!!!!

i don't know what to say

cross gut sucks

2005-11-08T15:40:00.000-08:00

on friday there was the disco inferno at showtimes house, it was off the hook. the best thing there was the real one breaking out the coveted "T HOP". the ladies were flocking towards the T HOP. i mean who can't resist a kid hitting his head on the ceiling dancing like carleton from the fresh prince.

i also raced the first annual shriver series cross race on sunday. the race was a good one. it started off at a slow pace, so i had to attack and pick up the pace so there weren't any ya whos left. i held it and the shrivedogg off for a lap and a little bit untile i flatted. after robbing a tube from some kids saddle bag i jumped back in with the group jockying for third. this group consisted of kisses kuhl, bartman, and birdman. i sat in for a lap, until i had to grap kuhls wheel because he was gapping the other two off. we were hard charging for awhile until three laps to go kuhl flatted meaning i was flying solo for a lap and a half. then on the last lap kuhl popped back in and sat in for a half lap then launched a very seriouse and very fierce attack which gapped me off, i almost managed to pull him back in at the finish but i still didn't have enough. so i ended up in third, kuhl was second and shriver was numero uno. the funny thing is after the race shriver cleaned up and put on a hat, some fresh glasses, and a fresh skinsuit for the podium presentation eventhough these races do not have podiums? i guess it was showtime.
your right that was a little to much shriver in one weekend.....for anybody.
well see you later

this is what happened

2005-11-03T21:11:00.000-08:00

2005-11-03T18:57:00.000-08:00

man you think you know somebody but then they get all upitty on ya. so i went into rgps today and i was told tommy d couldn't even remember my name. he called me the kid from vermont. i guess i am going to have to be like the real one and take my name of the tommy d fan club list. shit! i ride for the same team that got the kid started. i guess his link might have to be removed. i am going to have to find a new hero to look up to. i guess cunego will be my new faviorite.

crazy weekend

2005-11-02T15:51:00.000-08:00

To start off kuhl and i made an industrial sized beer bong (it can fix atleast 7 beers). So we put this baby to use on friday and the end result was hilariouse. Kuhl took a really long nap at dinner and then he finally arose when the check came and started leaking information that was 99.9% false but the funniest stuff you have ever heard. On saturday after recovering for half the day and sleeping we woke up and kicked some kittens to stay sharp then went riding on the mountain bike for awhile. later on that night we did some stomach stretches by drinking some more beer and went to a halloween weekend party in our starsky and hutch outfits. Now on to sunday where we went on a sweet cross ride and then decided shouldn't drink anymore for atleast a week so we watched some movies and got some well needed rest. while all this was happening our other two roomates where doing something productive. Troy was 3rd on saturday crushing jesse anthony and on sunday with the rest of the field able to stay on there bikes he rode to a respectable 15th. And johnny kicked some ass at collegiate nationals placing 5th in the stxc and having back and bike problems in the xc but ohh well. and the team was second overall not riding to expectation but still good. Good job fellas. up top there are a lot of pictures from the races and weekend. later adigga

TDUB!!!

2005-10-30T12:05:00.000-08:00

Congrats to the little buddy for 3rd at USGP, and kicking Jesse ass. How is it that Troy can turn it on like this during cross season, but rides like the Masters Women 40-44 riders during the MTB season. I mean come on, this kid is crazy.

Weekend update with your host adigga

2005-10-23T09:48:00.000-07:00

Pics from the donut contest
So far this weekend has been pretty good. Friday night was the last day of joeys birthday week. We went to china cafe where tokyo joe works, lets just say I drank my beer through a straw and when I left there was a big wang drawn on the steamed up windows. After that we went to a party at dickless dubs house it sucked the only good thing was that we met some pro hoes and a freshman sukanut rider tried to fight me. On Saturday we made an early rise for what you might call the first cross race of the season. On the line there was a huge field, we had record numbers at least 7 it was like a world cup start. We had such riders as shat "im so blown" miver, troi "Aww Fuck" Willz, Chris "im a alcoholic,aka kisses aka redeye" kuhl, joos, the 2 token old guys and me. the race started with a fierce pace with only the shrive able to hold on, to his own pace. The group behind consisted of the bear, red eye and me, our group quickly shattered on the second lap after a freak bear attack, kuhl and troy survived but I was a casualty. Once word spread about the attack, animal control stopped by but quickly fled when they noticed that the bear was loose and looking hungry. when they left the race stayed the same till the finish with the collegiate cyclocross national champ showing how he took the title. Once we came back and cleaned up kuhl and I decided to go and get 12 donuts each and see who could eat them the fastest, and of course I lost and blew because of my small esophagus, and kuhl having small bird like lips he was able to eat so quickly without fatigue. kuhl ate 12 donuts in 38 minutes, I could only stomach 6.5 donuts(I know i'm a pussy). I had to bring in the drooling stray bear from the park in to eat the rest of my donuts. After that it was nap time and then off to the wells residents to have some of megs excellent mexi lasagna. Thanks Meg. For today there isn't much planned I think it is mostly a recovery day. later adigga

Sailing the Seas in Bulgaria!

2005-10-20T18:43:00.000-07:00

It was a dark cold day out on the seas, wind blowing in my face, Tdub hold my balls. You see, the Butt Pirate just got his new boat the Slippery Seaman, and all his merry men went with him on its first voyage. I can remember it like it was yesturday, Captain Kuhl holding the ropes on the starboard side, Adigga stearing the great big, long, hard...ship. He has so much control over such large vessals. Sgt. Dick Steele was manning the crows nest looking down at the wonderful men that had been choosen with him to man this voyage, they had been hand picked, hand selected by the great Butt Pirate himself. The butt pirate only chooses the best men to take with him, because he has to be able to fall back on his men when the times get tough. and rough. It had been over 3 months since they had sailed off from Whore Island trying to reach Bulgaria...and to no ones suprize the men were starting to miss their ladies. Tdub was the first to crack, he made a move on Captain Kuhl who to Adigga's suprize played along with his Shenanigans( side note... Hey Farva whats the name of that restaurant you love, you know the one with all the crap on the walls). Meanwhile Sgt. Dick Steele was admiring the great view of the moon that night... but to his suprize the moon seamed to move back and forth wildly...and then it struck him, it was Captain Kuhls ass..and another...who else could it be than Kuhls "little buddy"... Part two next week

Operation Blackout!

2005-10-19T20:11:00.000-07:00

So I guess that I have a lot of drinking to do, casue addiga and kuhl are already sloshed from the real Joeys bday. Ourlittle Joey is just turning 20. I remember the first time me and McNasty got him drunk at Mt. Snow like three years ago. Then we went to the grundle room and slept together. Man, I just heard from Captain Kuhl this morning. Shit last time I saw Kuhl he had a bottle of wine and then went flash dancing in Portland with some chick. We got some numbers but those chicks wanted nothing to do with the Kuhl-Paolini A-frame. Ohh well next time. So I got my tattoos yesturday, lets just say it hurt more than the time I saw A. Craig and Dabrie hold hands and going to the creek. Now if you will excuse me I have a date with Ashlee Simpson.

joe joes bday

2005-10-19T12:29:00.000-07:00

happy birthday to the real one the big twentizzle. you've just grown up into such a gay little guy im so proud. joeys party is at steamworks at 7:00 if your not there.......your not there.

shitting fest

2005-10-17T16:50:00.000-07:00

well the home race has come and past. not much to say besides i had the worst of luck possible this weekend. first off in the short track i opted to race the cyclocross steed and then the inevitable happened and i flatted. on to the cross country what else can i say but i had the chimmies and had to pull aside and poo my brains out 3 of the 4 laps. i finished but not good enough for the ever so demanding one race qualification standards for the flc cycling nationals team. in short im not going to pa. there were two cool things that happened yesterday 1. walker texas ranger the movie was on and it was almost as cool as i had dreamed. and 2. kuhl punched a guy in the face. all that aside we have succesfully made it halfway through the school year and that means i am halfway done college. later adigga

Cross Sucks

2005-10-16T20:01:00.000-07:00

So I have not riden excepty twice since nats and got sucker punched into doing a cross race, lets just say that I rode like adigga at mtb nats. 40+ national champ Mark Noble was throwing some bows and taking people out in the sprint, sent the guy to the hospital but Noble still won the race. I got some pictures from the fires.

I rode anyway, cause I am a rebel.

My house is right on the other sid eof the hill, got evacted from my house at 2 am.

miller man returns

2005-10-13T20:10:00.000-07:00

for my first post i am gong to give you a recap of the week and upcoming events. first off two nights ago i had a kick ass dream about me and chuck norris kicking some ninja ass in a small town in japan...to make a long story short we gave each other a big high five at the end of the ass kicking fest. last night was the bike derby in ol' durango were you can even find a drunk olympic mtber trying to hit the high mark in the bike toss. and a room mate or two doing a kegstand. tonight was/is tiaa/crefs own dan bowman's bachelor party the end result is still undetermined i'm guessing rudy the bear is going to have to go to the vet again and get his stomach pumped. This weekend is going to be huge, first off the mtb race for collegiate is here in durango, 1145 is going to have to represent. josh bezecny (CU) is going down. THErealjoeythompson isn't racing so he is going to host the beer garden during the xc. After the races there is going to be a huge rager i don't know where but it's gonna happen. we already bought our beer which consists of 60 miller cans and 8 guinnes for the four of us at 1145. hence miller man is returning..........adigga

Rob!!!

2005-10-13T19:49:00.000-07:00

So a couple months ago I went on a ride with Johnny Omara(40+ Nat Champ) and formal World champ Joey Erwin, like 1990 downhill something like that. We also went out with this guy named Rob. He is the founder of Canyon Cycles. Anywho so we head out it is like 100 degrees out, no joke and start riding. Rob is the weekend warrior champ and he says that he is going to take it easy today cause he is a little tired from last weekends ride. We hit the first climb no problem and everything is okay...little did I know that Rob was about to through down one of the hardest attacks I have ever seen in my life! he starts going like he is armstrong himself and continues to drop the hammer. Me and Joey get dropped like a sack of shit as O'show goes chasing after him. So 10 mins later me a Joey get to the top and Rob and Oshow are gone. We head down the hill and catch up before the next climb that is even hard and longer than the first. Remember it is still like 105 out and tht is HOT. So we hit the climb and start heading up, all of a sudden Rob starts to make another attack, except this time it is out the back. His shit hit the fan quick. We start looking around and dont see him anymore. Little did we know he passed out under a tree and sat there for 45 mins trying to cool down. He said he was so f---ed up that he decided to quite bike riding. He hasent riddin his bike since. Poor Rob. Adigga is MIA.
