Ouch!

That's what my stomach said yesterday. I definitely had enough to eat. I rode from home to my Grandparents house in Reedsburg, taking the loooong way. I was in Lime Ridge and decided to see where Hwy G ended up as I had never been that way. Well, it ends up at HWY 58 apparently. I hadn't ever been on Hwy 58 before. My feet were cold and the turkey was going to be on the table soon. Where the heck am I, I remember thinking. Well, soon enough I roll into Ironton. Huh. Where the heck am I ran through my head again. So I eventually hit LaValle and then I knew where I was and in a great turn of events I had the wind on my back. I was really moving down Hwy 33 to The Burg. I arrived and got changed about 5 minutes before it was time to eat! Perfect. 2 huge plates of food and 3 pieces of pie later (pumpkin, pecan and apple) my food baby was screaming and kicking for me to nap. I was wiped out and rode the couch watching football and chatting the rest of the afternoon away. Great day for sure!
On another note, big things are happening with my '65 Mustang Fastback. More on that later. It's gonna' be sweet! These guys do amazing work.

The End is the beginning

I'm sure if you've followed my other 212/Specialized Teammates thoughts on life whilst perusing the Internets you aren't going to read anything not already laid out for you about our year. So, I'll keep it short (relatively?).

Chris and Michelle: AWESOME! Thank you guys so much for letting all of us be part of The Family.

Specialized: Thanks for the sweet hookups! Bikes and gear are flippin' sweet.

The Team: What is there to say? Good times and racing bikes with great friends, it just don't get no better.

The Hostel Shoppe: Thank you for your help in enabling our bike fetish.

Our Families: For girl sitting, dog watching, cheering and helping out during the biking season and even now with the impending (and lingering) house projects.

Melcher: For getting me in the game. Nice work.

Sucks now when we don't get to see our WORS friends for a few months but it's always fun to see everyone again at Iola. I like how we seem to pick up right where we left off at Sheboygan the fall before as if someone hit the fast forward button and skipped over the winter like a bad reocurring commercial.

Yea yea

I know Lisa gets as tired of hearing this as she does when I whine about the fact that they put stop lights in on Hwy. 12 instead of on and off ramps but I've been trying to get stuff finished up outside before it gets really cold. I got all the windows in and the whole summer kitchen ready for siding. I gave Darrin a good laugh when I told him we're pouring the floor in our garage this weekend. He told me to take video but I've watched AFHV enought to know that bad things always happen when the camera's rollin'!
Redneck Christmas is coming fast! That is going to be tongue in the ear hot!
