tinder box

it wasnt very hot yesterday so i decided for a 5pm ride up on the dry creek red butt. check out the grass, or dead grass. if someone drops a single spark up there the whole hill side is screwed.

the bushes are green but check out the fields of dead grass.

i only saw 1 guy on a bike for 1.5 hr ride time, and a dizzy squirrel on the trail. he must have been hot and dehydrated cuz he wasnt moving and didnt care if i bunny hopped him.

i probably wont race until the wolverine ridge, thats fine. im working on a secret training plan for august and sept. in the next few weeks i will be getting the new cx bike together. yesterday while riding i was dreaming of 1 hr cool weather cx races. soon it will be cold as a witches tit and i will be thinking of the hot dog days of july/august.

the cx bike is looking like this, rocky mtn with avid juicys, flat bar, reynolds tubulars, single crank 9 speed. 15 lbs. should be an ass kicker.

so i will hit the trails for 3 weeks and log some solo hours. the next 2 weeks i will call hell week. more on that later. it involves a lot of this, and this.

ahh yes, 10 days of spinach and melon always does the trick.

oh ya i think its barts bday today, or chippo. i cant remember those guys are old any way and its one today and one tomorrow. cant remember which day is which. so go buy them some rogaine.

Looking relaxed on 7/17/07, rockstar interview.
