Creative profiling: Just add moxy

It's going to be 14 degrees today and I won't be handling any of my computer problems like the comment fiasco or updating. I do have some thing though. My very first reader contribution! I'm please to feature my celebrity friend (she's a celebrity because she does a morning radio show and is rumored to get comfortably sauced every blue moon. Scandal begets celebrity!) , Changela. She's an ice/rock climber who is convinced that, despite my spindly upper body, that I am also capable of doing these things. We may find out... someday. I was unable to find a picture of her climbing anything, but I did google her leaning on this stack of, what I believe are, antique internetz.

Changela: Smart, not tired.

Upon more searching I was able to find (ahem... create) this picture of her in more adventurous setting, doing battle with the king of monsters.

More eye blasters, Changela! Drive him back to his watery dungeon!

Changela sent this clip of some french dude gaping the Tour de France. Thanks!

This is news, I guess. The season is just getting rolling, so events are sparse. Take what you can get. The Oakley rolling (marketing?) Lab is a-coming to the Maritimes. Here's the poster. God willing they will bring some of the athletes/models from the catalog. Worth checking out on the off chance.

Another event that is a good chance to upgrade. If your in the Fredericton area, Savage's bike shop is having their annual bike swap. There's no poster, but here's the info from Kijiji. I wouldn't promote a sale usually, but this a good way to meet up with newer riders and do some of your own parking lot swaps. Everybody wins.

Savage's Bike Swap and Sale!

http://www.savages.ca

APRIL 17th, 18th, & 19th

At the Capital Exhibit Centre. Doors open Friday at noon -

Don't miss this - over 750 new bikes up to 50% off.

Shop early for the best selection.

What is it?

1) The Bike Swap is a way for you to get rid of an old bike or upgrade into a new bike! Bring your bike down and we'll sell it for you! Over 90% of used bikes sell, so, clean it up and leave the rest to us! You can take either 80% of the cash or apply 100% toward the purchase of a new bike.

2) The Sale: We have over 750 new bikes for sale at prices that you just can't get any other time of the year. If you're buying a bike, this is the time to do it. Typically, we have numerous models below dealer cost. Again, it's our way of saying Thank You!

All New bikes come with full one year service and full warranty from the manufacturer!

If you have a question about the swap and sale, please call us at 506.457.7452. We accept swap bikes all year long, so clean that shed out and bring your bike down to us!

I have not been wasting my time in the innernette. I'm working on a comprehensive MTB race calendar for the entire Maritime region. There's some static between the provinces as far as scheduling conflicts and communication. I'm sincerely going to try to quell this a bit, but will probably just make it worse. If anyone wants to help stir the pot before I throw the whole mess at the fan, get in touch.

Adieu.
