TUMMYSTICKS

Happy New Year!


My apologies to my loyal fans who actually give a shit about my cycling career - I can't believe I went a month without updating this crappy blog. This winter truly sucks - so much indoor - so little outdoor. As I sit here, we have seven inches of snow outside with more falling. Great sledding, but too much time spent goofing around and not enough time road on the road. Even my commuting is on hiatus.

The riding:

I was able to get out Dec. 31 - so here is the last pic of 2010 (a nice solo ride, about 40 miles) and I was able to get out Jan1 - so here is the first pic of the new year (a really nice ride with Phil and a bunch of ladies of Team Rev)!
The most of the time I have been indoors - hitting Club Fitness or riding the trainer. The cool thing is I have perfected riding the rollers with no hands - now all i have to do is master the rollers while playing Playstation! Tuesday and Saturday at The Hub - some days after school, some days in the basement. The cool thing is I have perfected riding the rollers with no hands - now all i have to do is master the rollers while playing Playstation! I also managed to get out with Isabella to Castlewood to do a little mountain biking - great times.

I am really looking forward to my new bike - Giant TCR Advanced - it is so kick ass and getting some nice track wheels for my track bike. I was just fitted by Greg at The Hub for my new bike. Dave Smith also put together a new travel kit for the Hub travel team. I can't say I am going to be traveling much, but the jersey is pretty bad-ass so I sucked it up and bought one. How cool is this. I hope Dave thinks traveling is the other side of River Des Peres to Tuesday Night Crits! I also finally got my rear Zipp 404 up and running after a year of it sitting idol at The Hub. Now I know why it took so long for me to get the fucking wheel!

Over the month my cycling and party have converged on Ultraman! with Phil and Stephanie - man, did they kick ass. The concerts are rocking this year - up next, I'm thinking Motorhead, Clutch and Valiant Thorr and Borean Dusk, both in Feb. We also had poker night at The Hub - Ron Clipp actually won the night and Devin went out twice - now that is fucked up. And to put a crown on the month - The Hub snow ride. This is one of epics of the year! 7 inches of fresh snow, mountain bikes and bars - what more do you want. We took off at 8:30 - rode around the hood, played no touch and did some snow tricks on some stairs and than headed to "suicide hill" - a super steep hill with some wicked moguls - we showed up on our bikes, people flipped out, a few people said, I'm getting my video camera out for this - and than we rode down. Then to top it off, Devin rode up - That is a Cat 1, Expert class dude! We hit cousin Hugo's for a few pitchers and than headed to Weber's for 8 more! I got home a 2:00, of course woke up the wife, so everytime I started to fall asleep, she hit me with a pillow - pretty funny!!!

Oh yeah - TUMMYSTICKS is where two gay guys lay their dicks on each other's stomachs - now I not to sure how that exactly works - Rock and Dave tried to show us on the snow ride after they took each other down in no touch! - but I still don't get it!
