Put your hands together


Took a break from secret training with J. Edgar for a little 
convention at the Lake of the Ozarks over Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Hit Honey Run a couple of times. May be my favorite single speed trail.
The crew that maintains that trail is good.

Watched a little Versus Sunday with the old Tour stages
from the Postal era.
Two things:
1) The pros look cooler sans helmets. They just do.
2) Lots of guys with "blood value issues" were 
doing pretty well

Book Mobile




Received my VeloNews TdF special issue last week.  I feel like a kid at Christmas receiving the Sears catalog.

Picked up up some Schlitz a couple weeks ago to go with the PBR.  Outstanding.  Don't know why either ever went out of style. 

 I am looking for some Hamms right now.  I haven't seen any since I moved from Columbia.  Those cartoons from the 70's are paying residual returns now.

Turtle Head







Went up to Warsaw with the K Lady last Saturday to check out the trails.  Lots of switch backs and deep steep ditches, but nice.  I guess there was a race coming up.

Turtles were on the move.  I saw about 50 on the way there and while riding.

Sunday rode up to Sac on the time machine and did a couple of laps and rode home blown.  I hadn't been to Sac in several weeks.  I thought it looked pretty good, though Skip was complaining about the high weeds.

Here is my obligatory shot of the river and trail by the river for the non locals.
