Hulk and I

This is me next to Hulk Hogan. This is what I will look like in 10 or 15 years!

Robert Redford and I

If you couldn't tell I am on the left and Robert Redford is on the right. I couldn't find a picture of myself with my beard and with my eyes open and without a beanie. This is me in ..... 20 or 30 years.

Bicycle shorts

This evening my girlfriend and I road our bikes to the local sporting good store where I purchased some bicycle shorts much like the ones you see here. I bought them for a bike ride that Danny aka "Chumlee" and myself are going on tomorrow. We plan or riding the Legacy Parkway trail. I don't know how long it is but I am really looking forward to it.

I want to get a new handle bar stem and handle bars too, and of course paint.

I'm back!

I have really been slacking! I would like thank Roxy for calling me out. Life has been pretty crazy lately with work school and a special lady. I recently got a new phone that I can go on the internet with so I can make posts while I'm at work and doing other activities. If you still check my blog I thank you for hanging in there its going to get a lot better from here on out

Cottered Cranks

This is a cottered crank. That bolt looking thing isn't just a bolt. It is actually cottered in there and is nearly impossible to remove without a great deal of effort. I finally got mine off after I drilled them out and banged on them for awhile! Now my fixie is ready for a new BB and crank! .... Cotterless of course!

Following a dream

So my last post was about my goal to one day be in the tour da france. I have been thinking about how I am going to fulfill my goal. I was talking with my girlfriend about goals and dreams and we came to a conclusion. If I could get an old racing bike and win with that then I will just be that much better with a new bike like Lance's. So I have decided to sell my "transformer" (mountain bike) and use the money to buy an older maybe vintage racing bike. Then when I've trained and I am really good and start winning races I can get sponsored and they will get a bike for me! That is my plan anyway. I was looking on KSL.com and I found this one
I don't know what size it is but it might fit me. I'm going to do it mark my words people!
