I can't figure this one out at all. We ride @ Bass River a lot in the morning before work.......Rach, me, Max-the-dog, sometimes Ted and Lee and various "Guest Stars". ( We love havin' "guest stars!!!). It's a nice little trail, fun to try and go fast but also great for more beginner-type riders too. Anyway.......here's the point that I'm havin so much trouble getting to: Max likes to swim in the pond/lake/bay/bayou/inlet/whatever it is that's just down the road from the trailhead so we also end up down there @ the end of the ride. It's bee-yoo-ti-ful down there in the mornings.........the sun shinin' on the water, birds flying overhead, quiet and peaceful........I can't imagine ever gettin' tired of it. I also can't believe the amount of trash and crap that other users leave on the beach! What kind of bottom feeding, low-life, chamois-licking, saddle-sniffing, mouth-breathin', wanker jackhole do you hafta be to leave your food trash and beer cans on that lovely little beach!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I swear that I'll NEVER understand if I live to be a bazillion years old. How could you have enough poetry and humanity in your soul to appreciate the place in the first place yet not enough to keep you from trashing it?
Look.......I know that no one readin' this is responsible. I promised Rach that I'd put it here so she doesn't hafta hear it every time we ride there. ( That sound you just heard was her sigh of relief). And yes.............we leave that little beach w/ our jersey pockets crammed w/ other people's gross trash every time and deposit it in the trash can @ the trailhead. Thanks for asking.
Okay. Rant Mode off.
Bikelife is so good these days! I rode w/ old bud Bret (Math Prof Rock Star) N. this week. We usta work together @ the 'wheeler back in the day. Rode this morning w/ Rach, Heather and Jim, we had a good turnout for the 2'sday night ride and we leave tomorrow for the Montana JDRF ride. The shop is rocking and I'm starting to get glimpes of all the 2007 stuff. I've meet w/ reps from C-Dale, Bianchi and Pearl in the last week or so............lots of cool new stuff. The thing is.......we always say that! And it's always true. And we'll be sayin' it again a year from now and it'll be true then as well. New stuff is fun but it isn't the point, right? Stuff is a means to an end..............the way we get to enjoy this glorious sport and share it w/our friends.
Man.............I'm startin' to sound like Rach! I gotta get outta here!
I'm done talkin' and thinkin' about Phoyld and the tour. Man...........how can we go from one of the most glorius days in the tour to the punchline of a lame Jay Leno joke? What a massive drag. Even if Floyd figures out that his "defense of the week" defense ain't cuttin' it and takes Lance's advice to shut up....................too much damage has been done, too many folks have given up. If he's clean.........it sux for him and if he's not.................it sux for everyone.
So.....keep on truckin', be safe, be smart, earn your right to the road and the trails by behaving properly and maybe we'll see you 'round the shop sometime, eh?
