Fear mongering and Ti hording

If you switch sides, just for the night even, you soon see how entertaining and empowering fear mongering can be. It's amazing what a mask and bottle of hand sanitizer will do for the panic threshold of a party atmosphere. Throw in a bottle of bourbon disguised as Dimetapp, watery eyes and some melodrama and you have pandemonium... and all the chips to yourself.

Bronchial harvester of souls

What a race this past Sunday at the Dieppe Rotary Park. The kids were all there and the spirit and panache of the 3rd race in the series was great. Rivalries were footing themselves like kicks on climb up and the juniors weren't kicking there legs over full susers anymore. No sir, they were full on 'cross dogs with the appropriate whips. The course was top notch. Master flag sticker and log layer, Luc, laid a strip of solid gold through hill and vale, both steep and boggy, respectively. I lived, truly lived, when the second hump gave me just enough air drop me into a 4 foot berm to whip me deeper into the pump track. I think I've had a spiritual awakening.

I though about taking pics, but there are so many people doing it better than me. Don, by the way is looking like a million and is already on the trainer. The 2010 SShowdown anticipation is palpable. At least, I'm palping it. I'm even formulating a special Psyclepathic SSurprise for 2010.

Those of you that would recognized me in the pics may be wondering about the full beard after the 1st of Movember. I can assure you fellow mo' growers it's gone now and you had best make the most of the headstart I've given you. Find out more and support the kid here.

Just to throw this out there. Surly 1x1 vs Bianchi S.A.S.S? Huh? Say what you will for a nice stiff frame, but I'm looking for some compliancy and forgiveness for those SS enduros. And then there's these guys SteveC recently turn me on to: Singular out of the UK. The Peregrine intrigues me. Finally a home for those beeeeyouteeful OnOne Midge bars. I'm currently calling a Titec H-bar home for the digits. I'm totally at home with a severe sweep and I don't know how a body would ride rigid (especially around here where buff has no context with singletrack) without multiple positions of respite for one's paws. With just a few more sweet nothings I should have Afrow Craig seduced into parting with his Jones Ti model.

I just figured you would want to see my set up in a nice autumn setting

Shout! Really, get your poppadom on. I don't know where I'll get fed this weekend when Fredericton hosts the 4th Race in the Velo NB Cross series. Info here. I've got a crew coming up early for a warm up ride on Saturday and a handicap controlling BBQ. It's nice to know who drank as much as you when your sizing up guys at the start line. It's been a slack riding week, so my coach is gonna make an intensive plan for me to get the power up and win the game! (What ever happened to Cliff Yablonski?)
