the weird turn pro. - Hunter S. Thompson
Good Old (dead) HST.
the ride in was not nearly as cold as it was yesterday, but then that may have been the deletion of the vest and arm warmers replaced by the winter vermarc jacket and the knee warmers replaced by leg warmers. That and the silent effortless of the Klein compared to the rattly fendered Giant.
The smack down is tonight - and no thunderboomers are expected. We'll see who shows up this week. Going to be positive. No negative self talk. I can stay with the group. I can make it to the end. Phone is charged today for a change. All is good. Even the lack of a good night sleep for the past week or so won't be a problem.

The owners of the Flying Dog brewery lived next to HST, and had a good relationship. So much so that Ralph Steadman does all the artwork for their labels. They made a Gonzo Porter which I consider to be one of the best (if not the best) beers I've ever had. See it here
They also have a tribute page on their website here
wow you must be getting old or all those drugs from your youth are catching up...
I have come to expect a comment from you anytime I mention HST.
And yes, that Gonzo Porter is pretty damn good. I really do like all those Flying Dog beers. Very good drinking even if they do only come in itty bitty bottles...
and if you can't stay with the group, you'll have some company. I haven't ridden for over a week and am getting over a cold, so I'm planning on hanging with the group until the top of Austin, but I'm not going to push myself to keep up when the action starts...
