back in franklin,nc...i was inspired to head out to tsalli from cara's blog about the 24 hr championships. there are obviously positives to being in franklin which are: 1) tsalli 2) watching eric die of allergies 3) watching eric fall off the bike 4) looking for organic food in franklin.
1) i have to say that generally i am a total free range chicken when it comes to mountain biking. in fact, i never upgraded bikes just because i don't want to feel guilty for never riding. i accepted the tsalli challenge. descender i am not -- i had several 'near misses' on corners that overlooked the beautiful 1500ft drop to the lake below. however, i was impressed that i was climbing like a billy goat on cocaine(i just stopped to image such as site...amazing what goat are capable of on narcotics). i give the descender award to Deleon, who went down hill like a bowling ball in San Francisco. It was amazing. we were chased down by some wild turkeys when we got too close to the turkey kids. they were cute...little bitty guys. eric, aka, i cannot feel my legs mcgee, had considerable trouble after a powerful start. i believe some complications in shifting led him to flip over the handlebars, superman style...and scrap up his various appendages. after it was all said and done i saw some chic about to go in the woods...a true hippie girl, with a skateboard helmet...ya for real, but i'm sure she rocked it.
2) ole eric's allergies apparently locked him up. his eyes this morning were slimmed shut like a newborn. now, this fit in perfectly for my date with the king...bk's coffee and breakfast sandwich w
ere on my list. i know, i know...non-organic...but that crap does not exists in franklin! apparently, this is like the hub of the universe when it comes to organic herbs, and organic dog food...but just plain ole people food never made the list. sorry, i did not have time to plant a garden on my 3 day stay here in HighFrustoseCornSyrupVILLE. by the way, i did let eric know that his allergies are a direct result of a lack of fruits and vegetables. since we have eaten nothing but junk(and i finish off my bk breakfast delight), i can assure you that his stomach is totally corroded with nothing but the worst.
