Stuff is happening

Did another training ride for the up coming MWI Gentlemen's Race this past weekend.
Its was a wet one and pretty chilly too.
Which, as it turns out, might be a good thing to get used to.
Weather for race day is looking to be wet & in the upper 30 with a chance of snow.
SNOW.
I hate to sound like a puss but I was really hoping for sunny and in the 50s.
Ah well. Fortunately I've got a good crew gathered to do this with me.
Plus I found out today that one of the 8 teams has dropped out because of the "possible inclement weather".
Which of course means now we are guaranteed at least 7th place.
Assuming we finish at all.

The KC Sprints crew has announced a few more dates coming up in April.
Saturday April 10th at the Buzzard Beach in Westport
Friday April 30th at the Replay Lounge in Lawrence
Should be good times. Mark your calenders.

Halloween weekend... its here

Well Halloween weekend is upon us.
Which means all over the place there are "crazy & spooky "things happening in the next couple of days.
Supposedly... I wouldn't know for sure. I don't get invited to those kinda things.
However, I do know about at least one.
The annual Homie Fall Fest in MPLS

If you have the means and time to be there I suggest being there.
If you ride bikes, drink beer, and enjoy fun you won't be disappointed.
Believe me.
I won't be there again this year. I had planned to go but the whole new bike thing kinda got in the way of it.
Ah well. I'm sure I can make my own kind of fun here...granted it might be locking all the doors, turning off the lights and hiding under a blanket.
But hey... I'll have fun. And thats all that matters.
Right?

Have a good weekend. I'm gonna go ride my bike.

Wednesday morning tragedy

In a tragic trimming incident this morning I watched a large chunk of my moustache go down the drain of my bathroom sink.
Damn.
The plan was to keep it until after the Gogol Bordello show at the end of the month but I guess that won’t be the case.
Ah well, we had a good run and it was fun while it lasted.

I miss my Moustache

And here a some of the reasons why:


I had a big twister at this time last year. Its didn't make it this year.

Boo. Maybe next year.

Handlebars... on your bike and on your face

Decided what the hell...
I have the parts, the tools, and today the spare time.. so I took the Peugeot the hipster route

Narrow-ish rizer bars... its the hip thing to do... right?
I also had some flat pedals with toe straps but after a couple of test rides up and down my street I remembered why I don't run them... They suck.




Also decided on a whim today, that I was done with my mustache. It was a hard choice. Its been getting on my nerves more and more over the last couple of weeks. I actually attempted to trim it some what in order to make it more tolerable. But the more I trimmed the worse looking it got so off it came. I figure what the hell... it will grow back.

Besides.... look how pretty I am with out it>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hey its Friday. Get out there and have a good weekend!

A Moustache is a wonderful thing

Ah yes...
I am amazed by the power of the moustache
When I shaved off my beard I kept the 'stache pretty much as a joke
I thought it made me look goofy/silly which was appealing to me for some reason.
I guess I am not the only one it appeals to
I hesitate to say anything in fear I'll ruin it...
But more women have commented on it or started conversations with me because of the 'stache in the last month than have probably talked to me in the last year.
I like this. This could be good.
However, there are those that it simply doesn't appeal to.
Ms. Laura is one of those people. She hates it. Her wedding to Mr. Joshua is next month and I am in it. I am keeping it at least through her wedding simply out of spite.
This might be seem mean, but I am enjoying it so much I don't want to shave it off.
If nothing else it makes people smile.
Why hadn't I grown one before?
To quote Stevil in response to my amazement of the moustache's power:
"Folks will eventually understand how bad ass moustaches are.
Folks will eventually know what we've known all along."

Whats that on your face?

I am the Handlebar and Chin Puff.
How 'bout you?

Speaking of Moustaches...

Thanks Stevil...

Moustache Moustache Moustache

I was recently considering shaving my moustache off
Then I saw the new posting on HTATBL and change my mind
Moustaches and cycling go together like White Russians and bowling
I awoke this morning with a with a new found love for my moustache
Its a fine looking Handlebar and I think I keep it around
