Tapering or is that Tampering

Well the plan is there for a taper but I'm thinking I'm more tampering with fitness than actually building it.  

The bikes are ready, the mind is ready, but the legs not sure. 

 The back well that is the question.  After doing six repeats of dismounts/mounts, then a good quality stair run on Monday the back seems to not want to lighten up.  Yoga did some good for tonight but tomorrow will be a new day.

All I know is the yesterday's beer of the week was absolutely awesome.

CCCP #4

Well the biggest crew showed up for the last of the Crusty CycloCross Program editions.  A couple new victims showed up, Sheabutter, little c, mikemike.

karl's jr explaining to Sheabutter how he warms up his saddle for the leap of faith

mikemike telling little c always were a condom on your head when you go out

As usual all things started out good....then, well it went to shit, fast.

The first lap was a hot lap then....

mikemike double flatted

Then pouted as he started fixing his flats(Oh yea the rest of us kept riding)

Then Tulip decides to flat.

Now the real race starts....

All the while the rest of us... well we rode

Sheabutter and karl's jr are riding really strong... so look out at the next race fellows.

Shout out to heeman 3rd place in Masters 30+!  Good job!  

Just make sure you ride that good when you come down here!  My A game will be dialed by then.  I promise!!!

Beer of the Week

my wife inc in da house

It's quite amazing how many people stopped us and told us how neat, cool, interesting, and eye catching our kits our kits were at the Planet Bike JP MadCross.

Here is some evidence of how much attention we garnered. 

Hopefully the next shoot will be from the podium from one of us.

May I Grab Some Excuses From Your Big Bag, Bitches?

I'm going to throw out some lame ass excuses for my absolutely shitty weekend of racing in Wisconsin.

Lame Ass Excuse #1 

 I got fuckin lost on the way there and had to get a handicap room for my punk ass

Lame Ass Excuse #2

I got a fuckin flat 43 miles from Milwaukee....I changed it in less than 30 minutes.

Lame Ass Excuse #3

The fuckin tire store didn't have my exact tire in the Milwaukee region.  Thanks that set me back a few hundred bucks to get four new tires. Oh yea, the emasculator helped me out..... immensely. 

Lame Ass Excuse #4

Some jackass thought it would be funny to sell me a headset that wasn't compatible with my Orb...4 hrs on my feet sweating the details of fixing the POS was sweet!!

Lame Ass Excuse #5

Picture is worth a thousand words!!!

Lame Excuse #6

I wasn't feeling the new Orb so much...to much pressure in the tires...course was to dry....I was suckin major ass...Bike switch in pits....I FALL DOWN!!!  That happens when you turn off the switch.

Lame Excuse #7

I was doing really well Sunday but.....

All I can say if it wasn't the good friends...Heeman, my wife inc corporate sponsor, paulski, dr. giggles, mo, and mo's parents I would have wanted to commit hairy karrie.  So to but it simply I'm ready to race now.  I hope to have excised the gremlins.

Random thoughts or comments...

If you put your head on it you own it!

You should just get a skirt to go with those tires!

Have you ever seen a Klien Air Head?  Yea???

You guys try this? How about this?  Why not try this?

Why do they call you Crusty?  If you ask another question you will find out!

Turn off the switch.

I'm here to save lives!!

Why aren't you racing today?....I couldn't make it out of bed today......Oh yea but you didn't race till 2:45.

Here is some celluloid dump

CCCP #3

Yep I'm behind on posts so here we go!

Tulip did his best Ulli into the trees with the "Oh shit no brakes routine"  although he did not go over the bars he did make it interesting later with a good digger on the dirt curve.

karl's jr was killing it during practice until the root grabbed his foot.

Unfortunately karl's jr pics won't load up.

I felt like shit due to the excursion the boss and I had at the Flying Saucer.  Yep, the new hang out.  Looking forward to planning a crazy night on the singles with drinking and riding coming soon.
