We're In!

When normal people were buying last minute Christmas gifts, fighting holiday road rage and baking, Mike and I were loading a moving truck on X-mas Eve. I'm not going to sugar coat it--it SUCKED!!! I have never been so sore in my entire life. Now it's over and we're living out of boxes. That I can deal with. Just please no more heavy lifting because I don't think I could handle it.


Mike in all of his wood chopping glory

The first night I had trouble sleeping because it is so quiet. No people on the sidewalk, no downstairs neighbor snoring, no cars screeching up the road, no screaming neighborhood kids...Quiet.

Why walk when you can swim?

I had planned on writing much more. However, I am spent. There will be more. I think I just need a nap first...and I have to figure out where all of my work clothes are...

NECS/DHBX '09

The best non-race of the year. Thanks to the mind of Wurster the 1st Annual Dark Horse Beer Cross became reality this past Sunday. Non-competition was fierce. The course favored those who were well-versed in dodging snow people, had the power to get through the snow ball gauntlet unscathed and possessed the mental fortitude to dodge a guy named Rossi in his man Uggs.

The UCI regulation snow people...

Ike's nemesis-The Chicken (or Big Pecker, whichever you prefer)

Where is that chicken?

Don't get too near those flames. I'm not sure if felt is flame resistant.

There are some things you can never un-see. I thought I would share with the rest of you...

The Chick Plate

Days like this make all the frustration and pain of this stoopid sport worth it. This is what it's all about!
