if this doesn't make you grin

well I dunno



okay i'd guess if it doesn't bikes and fun aren't your cup of tea...

maybe it is the sound track, or the ridiculous level of talent...

but holy shit i had a big shit eating grin on my face after watching that...

Everyone seems to be posting it - linking to their preferred source of embedded media, a MTB mag web page usually - clicks clicks clicks, traffic traffic traffic...  i try to just go right to the U Toob channel or find it there - not better I suppose but end around in a way, they ain't paying me to promote their page, or i don't feel compelled to support them that way...

Maybe it is the music -def the music- probably have to be a GenX to have full impact of the song, you probably bought the CD, like I did...  I probably bought it used from Flat Black and Circular above the bike shop after getting paid in cash for the week... 

Gotta keep track of the time - likely to be distracted, forget to allot time to eat lunch and be shoved right into a 2 hour training session w/o food...

Van is fixed, so quiet driving it now, wishing I'd done it before the drive down but i guess if we had it might not have precipitated the purchase of another vehicle. So who wants a Volvo? Seriously. No one.  Garage said call Jack's salvage - might get $2-300 from them but feels better to get it in the hands of someone who will keep it intact for a little longer. Yeah yeah - just a car...  ugh

Well - that's better - still hungry so I'm taking that as a sign I didn't over-eat, but then again I didn't have breakfast.

Still have a few more minutes to get everything ready.

And attempt to wrap this up...

oh funny thing last night - went to check on what USAC MTB cat I was, (2) and found my license pending. WTF?

The opt-out but just kidding not going to actually let you opt out doesn't actually do anything but take your money. You have to go in and sign a waiver. So, they can take your money but you can't use the license you paid for w/o jumping through more hoops.

Got better. Turns out I'm using an old app...  but there's no notification in the old app to suggest you should get the new one... nothing...   and that one says why your license is pending.

If it wasn't kind of important for racing I'd love to have nothing to do with USAC. I suppose I could choose to race only EFTA events, would mean no CX other than the unsanctioned races or buying one days, but there is some rule about one day USAC licenses for former or current holders. Sigh... 

Got the new app though - signed the waivers... and turned off the auto-renew. Will be interesting to see if it gets turned back on before next year.

okay - out of time
