How Does It Work?

Well that has been the question since we finished our dry creek project. Well here you go....

You can see that lower corner is filling up.

Amazing to think that water is showing through 4-6in of sand and gravel. But it works that is for sure, proof is in the puddin baby!

Nice little build up from our and neighbors side drains.

Here is the reason for the water running along the edge.

I'm now going to route our side drain and the neighbors together effectively eliminating the build up this side. Yea, I'm doing really soon. CX is coming.

Hookie, Chiggers, and Moto

Hookie:
For the first time in 13 years I played the above mentioned. That's right, stuck it to the man! Rolled out undercover, incognito, ninja style with the masses of smokers. Not one soul noticed. That is until later when the man texted:

"Where you at?" the man

"In the loo" crusty

"They are looking for you" the man

"Be down in a couple" crusty

"How is Broadway?" the man

"The best as usual!" crusty

"Why didn't you tell me you were leaving?" the man

"I thought I did, my bad" crusty

Chiggers:

The trail gnome hasn't been out at BS Lake at all. This is what happens when you want to see if maybe, just maybe around the corner might be cleared. No such luck. Trail gnome sucks! I'm in living hell right now, and I look like an animal.

Moto:

That's how I run my cyclocross bike. Please send me the reasons why I'm stupid for setting it up this way. I've heard them all. I don't care. I like it that way. Suck it.

I must admit the first few sessions of CX are a challenge after riding road, mtb, and SS for so long during the 'season.' Grabbing to much 'front' brake on a downhill is a sphincter factor (as in you couldn't shove a sewing machine needle in my arse with a sledge hammer) of the utmost degree.

Other than the above mentioned sphincter factor everything went well. No undercarriage damage, rusty but not ice required. Always a good thing. Starts, well I need more practice. It is always a shit grin ride when the CX is brought out. Good times are to follow. I'm patiently waiting for these! Next week the ordering begins for the 'new' parts. New season, new races, new expectations. On pin and needles for it to begin.

Silk Weaver

I have found a new occupation after todays ride..

I'm getting into exporting silk from the spider webs I collect during my rides.

Holy Shit Bat Man, it was absolutely horrible ride today. More than once I endoed as I heard a little creature tapping around inside the helmet. I will have some serious nightmare's tonight. My creak n fail had so many webs on the front of it that looked like cracks in the headtube.
Then to top it off I had two flats. The last one resulting in a nice hike of four tenths of mile hike.

MotherF#$@er Process was at deafcon 5.

It was back to good old summer. It felt great when I flatted in the woods as I stood in a poodle of myself melting in the humidity. I love summer! To bad my ride was cut short. I was looking to put the whole trail in which would have been 20miles instead I threw in the towel and ended up riding the road back. Suck. 15miles cutting out some trail. Double Suck.

All I can say is HTFU.

MotherF@#*&er Process

New terminology for a practice at which I've become top notch at...

if the process should break down multiple times the language is elevated one level at a time until it reaches the MotherF*&%er level. Bad things happen at this level. Bad, really, not lying.
