good time to throw down on another blog. no real adventure to let you kids in on in my life just yet, except for the fact that i basically have a camel ba
ck tied to my...erhh back...now that i dehydrated myself beyond belief. i have said already that my stupid ride with very little liquids and a whole lotta sun reminded me of my 120 mile romp where the same thing happened on the hottest day of the summer last year with my former Cheerwine, and now top secret team racer, Rachel "TT's are my thing" Gunn. we went out on one of those "suppose" to be easy training rides, everyone ended up showing up in their team kits....my ego vs yours...next thing you know, we're racing like bandits. now for me, it was just a matter of hanging on, since i was panting wildly out of my mouth...losing more saliva than i was putting in Gatorade behind ole Chris Thomas(dangerous beastly cat 1). i knew it was going to be one of those days because chris was talking to me in a normal tone up the climbs as i sucked wheel and sucked the atmosphere for oxygen. anyways, there were a few flats, group accelerations...and next thing you know, its just Rachel TT and me for the next 80 miles...as we prayed. well, i prayed...Rachel was looking down at h
er bike for more gears to magically appear, and we tried to think of people we could call to come pick us up. but since all of them were on the ride...somewhere we weren't because we were apparently extremely lost...we just sucked it up. road home, and vowed to never speak to each other again. of course not until that night when KimBigTruck and i showed up at her house to watch the tour. i didn't have OLN...i think that's a good excuse...plus she has a cool dog. here's more pics of my crazy speed machine down in panama...i flatted instantly out of the parking lot of the rental shop(you can tell in the pic)...too many dognuts....weeee!!!! the other pic is part of the panama jungle i walked through to get to some houses for a bible study. thanks to some all natural, super natural bug spray...i got through all that overgrowth without a bite.
