#JPTFU

Hashtag for a title? YES.  DEAL WITH IT.  At least this isn't Faceplant where I'd get a dozen crankyass monkeys tellin' me it be wrong.

Look for those signs if you are there or watching from TV.

No more HTFU... it is now JPTFU

Did you read about his 4 hr training rides in New Hampshire in the 20°F weather? Yeah.  JP synonym for Hard.  JPTFU

Since we're shutting crap in the trailer when down there the trailer hauling machine is getting special JP treatment.  not the full coverage, just enough to be an homage:

Prior to the tape application I did a very quick brake shoe change.  About a minute.  Still rolling along on that old rim with the studs on, yeah the broken flat spotted custom 3 spoke length 3 different spoke gauge rim, ran these pads down to the metal this morning.  The sand and salt and slush work as a nice abrasive compound and on the ice you kinda sort of have to be light with the front brake even running studs.  I've face planted enough.  So I popped some nice fresh salmon pads.  Jack always has em in stock, in every flavor. Why? BECAUSE THEY ARE THE BEST PAD COMPOUND EVER.  unless you like grinding your rim into nothingness.  I'd much rather replace pads frequently than rims.  Those Aztecs I took off were $2 clearance items from REI, I had them, used them. now they are done.  Salmon pads now.

Worlds. Going to be pretty damn awesome.

Can't wait.

Jerry's even throwing me a big f'n birthday party, a FOAM PARTY!  FOR ME.  That's what i'm going with anyway.

Capping off what looks to be an awesome weekend hanging out with friends with a big Birthday party, DJ, and EVERYTHING!

See ya there?
