It's All Over Brothers...

The end is near.

More to come tomorrow at 11am Central.

Welcome the new Government Motors.

I Now Know Why I Can't Cut the Habit.

Here it is.

I also found that it takes 12000L to get a negative effect. I'm working on it.

Covering the Bases.

Sometimes you have the thoughts but not the time to fully put down in words what you want to.

Amazingly this cover's my base's in many ways.

I hope you enjoy it. Think twice about the person with the grease and muck on them. They could have acquired a bit of knowledge but are hiding it quite well. Spend the time and read the comments.

Beer of the Week

Its A Sad Day

RIP.

Follow up.

Jesus on My Dashboard

Look closely, Jesus is on My Dashboard .

I knew the boss and I were going to have a good journey after the image above showed up at the start. How could you go wrong with Jesus watching you, right?

So what does this chick have the boss doesn't?

Really? You have to be phucking kidd'n me! Who the hell is she anyway? What has she done for women's cycling? Well take that back.

Oh yea back to the adventure/journey...

How bad could it be anyway?

The boss killing the gravel.

It could be this bad!

Um no road there!

I'm in the hole.

The boss conquered the bridge!

Back to enjoying the beautiful surroundings!

Country folk have jokes too!

Sometimes this is Steve's only transportation....

I will be posting my Jesus imaged Garmin 705 for $2000.

Essence

No gears, no data catcher. The road, no rest. The pushing, no coasting. The pain, no the phucking pain. Good. Bad. Different. But still the same.

OFG. That's it. No more no less.

Beer of the Week

O'Fallon Brewery Wheach

Imagine our smooth clean wheat beer with a touch of peach and you get the idea behind O’Fallon Wheach, our peach wheat beer. Refreshing and crisp, it’s perfect for warm summer weather. of peach and you get the idea behind O’Fallon Wheach, our peach wheat beer. Refreshing and crisp, it’s perfect for warm summer weather.

SPECIAL EDITION: Boonen Blackout Beer of the Week

I hope to God I don't wake up with a penis on my forehead or any powder around my nose! Maybe just maybe I can ride a bike naked and not know it!

Because this will cause a 'Black out'

Rehab is for Quitters...

At what point don't you realize WTF your doing?

Maybe this time his drinking buddies blew the coke up his nose for a joke when he 'blacked out' instead of drawing a penis and a set of balls on his face with a sharpie!

Those are really good friends!!

Boonen puts blame on alcohol problem

Tom Boonen says he may have used cocaine on an afternoon when he had too much to drink. However, he claims to have had a black-out and does not know what happened.

"I do not think I have a problem with cocaine, I have problems when I drink too much. 364 days per year I am good. But if I drink too much, it's exactly like I change in my head," Boonen told Belgian Radio1.

The Quick Step sprinter was suspended by his team Saturday after it was announced that he hadtested positive a second time for cocaine.

"I need help," he told sporza.be. "Someone should teach me to understand what happens when I drink too much."

Looking to the future, he said, "Whether I will continue to be a cyclist? That is the least of my concerns."

The former World Champion received support from Lance Armstrong. According to nieuwsblad.be, the American said, "Tom must look at himself and and say, 'I have a problem, how do I solve this?' He is not the only one in the world who has to resist temptation. I wish him the best and hope everything goes well.."

Could this guy be a little callus?

I thought a couple of you would like the first headline in this report.

Looking like a good time.

Beer of the Week

Mikkeller Beer Geek Brunch (Weasel)

All I can say is don't drive heavy equipment after/during consumption.

I heard of this coffee during my 'espresso hour' with a couple of gentlemen from work. One from Portugal the other from Spain. Very interesting to meet and drink with these men. To bad Spain retired and took his espresso machine with him.

Ahead of the Game.

The official sponsor of mwi is onto something bigger than I expected.

Leagues ahead of the field.

At Nationals this year the cupcake handups were flowing.

At Jingle Cross the cupcake handups were flowing on top of Mount Crumpit.

Finally at the Johnathon Page Cyclocross the cupcakes weren't flowing but the beer cart was doing a mighty fine job of making up for no cupcakes.

I received a fwd:fwd:fwd:fwd e-mail the other day....

“Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen. I’m sorry to interrupt whatever kind of stupid street fair this is, but I need your attention for one moment. I’ve lost my little brother. I was over there buying a gyro and, while my back was turned, he simply dissapeared. So, if everyone could please just keep an eye out for my brother. His name is Russell, but everyone calls him ‘Beans’ for short. He kind of looks like me, but with longer hair and a bigger beard. Oh, and he doesn’t wear glasses. Actually, he doesn’t wear much of anything. Basically, you should all be looking for a big fat dude wearing little boy’s underwear and hightop sneakers. Beeeeeaaaaans! Beans, wheeeere aaaaare yoooou?”

Absolutely priceless.

It won't be long before this is real.

Some new things might be appearing really soon now. Headups.
