Turn the knob to 11

I asked...


We rent our movies from Bongo Video which is a friendly neighborhood business. One of the cool things they have at the checkout counter is a Magic 8 Ball. Yesterday I rented "Pursuit of Happiness" so I asked the 8 Ball "will my ankle be ready for the race Sunday?" and it answered "don't count on it."

I'll noodle around town today with Sephie and Karen and see how it bears up but it is still tender and I'm weary of icing.

I found this from way back in 1992. Dad took it at the Spring Green race. It was the first race I did here after moving up from Texas. I miss the old neon Diamond Back Axis Team. I think the guy in front of me is Don from WORS. I'd love to see some results from that race.

That's what I was going to say.

Was Don "working together in the singletrack" and "treating you kind"??

that summer I was 145# and a 2 on the road... so the trees and rocks were coming up on me much faster than now. I don't recall suffering on that road as much as locking handlebars at the finish with a guy in a sprint.
