My brake pads are black, because they match my black specialized.






































If I wasn't working , I'd be riding.

If only. My dear, I work during the day and can't ride most days. I hardly take breaks and often even eat at my desk. I use this as my stress release.

Trust me, if I could ride all day, my handle on here would grow dust.

Look at you, starting sh*t. I have a good excuse for not riding in the lovely weather, it's called work.

Now on to my list of complaints and requests...

1. You still haven't told me when your first race is. Oh wait, you did...and you flaked. When's your REAL first race of the season?

2. You never replied to my email...which makes you a liar.

3. I'm going out to GMR in the morning...blow off the weekend warriors and get some climbing in, you slacker.

I have to take the dog to the vet in an hour. The good news is I couldn't get a partial day sub so I have the rest of the day off. I'll fit a ride in that way.

Speak for yourself... I'm looking at 30 degrees, and a mixture of snow and freexing rain...
