Halloween

I know Halloween happened a long time ago...

but this is what i looked like on that day, i kept my eyes closed the whole time.

Kailey was Jane i was Tarzan

fall

Its the first day of fall and its 60 degrees outside and raining!
I slammed my finger in a door the other day, haven't done that since i was about 5 years old.
Ok time to go ride in the rain.

race

If you thought Lance's comeback was impressive get ready to be amazed. OK that was a joke but i did race camp eagle a few weeks back.
I forgot how hard racing bikes is.
Somehow i got second.







I also did the super d race.
got 1st.
super d state champ.
yay.
check out the bike, its dads.
how bout that sweet blue jersey? nice huh?

;l

Well it's been a little while but hey it could be worse I could have a twitter account that I never update.
I figured I should let everyone know that im alive and doing well... ok see you around

Merry Christmas

I made this picture to help spread some holiday cheer, whatever that means.

Merry Christmas!

Love T

uhhh

Haven't paid to much attention to the site lately so here's a random post for all the bored people out there, i call it 3 things awesome about Smithville

1) The movie Hope Floats was filmed in Smithville, and was released at theaters across the nation on May 29, 1998. I still haven't watched this but it must have been good.

2) On December 2ND 2006, at the annual Festival of Lights, Smithville broke the Guinness Book of world records, record for the biggest gingerbread man ever, measuring over 26 feet. Cause everyone loves big food.

3) The late DJ Screw, Pioneer of Screw music, the style of dirty south hip hop known for its pitched-down lyrics and chopped-up beats was Born in Smithville. I'm working on getting the name Smithville officially changed to Screwville.

Wow when i put it all together it makes me think maybe this place isn't that bad after all

One thing i have noticed since I've been back in Smithville is the insane amount of no trespassing signs i see while riding my bike out in the sticks. i can understand not wanting anyone to come on you land but don't you think the 6 no trespassing, 3 private property, and 2 beware of dog signs might be a bit of overkill? i think some of the people out here just need to relax a little no ones coming to dig up your guns.

off

Whats Up with Tristan?
Well right now I'm in the final leg of my off season, usually during my off season i try not to touch a bike for about 2 weeks but that all went out the window when my car was rammed by a teenage driver. now i have a black eye but thats from a non car crash related freak head butting accident.
More latter when I'm doing interesting things.

Q & A

Q: isn't that a picture of that guy who won that race in France like 12 times or something?

A: ya, something like that.

Q: isn't he coming out of retirement so he can win it a few more times?

A: no, actually he's coming out of retirement so he can race out at rockin' hill on Sunday.

My boy Tristan Cowie is tearing it up right now i just read on cyclingnews that he won both the short track and XC at collegiate nationals last weekend, its good to have another Tristan around to pick up my slack. im thinking i may do the dirt dirby tonight, we'll see.

picturegraph

I must not be very photogenic because it seems like every time i look at pictures from races i can find pictures of everyone but myself, its sad. i started the race this weekend with the idea that it would be smart to get into the single track first and it paid off, people were forced to take my picture.


People probably don't take my picture because they know I'm just gonna steal um like i did with this picture taken by Rudy, i cant stop.

?

its weird but the only logical way that i can come up with for the reason the trails out at lake Bryan were made the way they were is, the people making the trail decided it would be a cool and easy idea to just dump a bucket of paint on a cow and let it walk around running into trees and thus marking the trees for where the trail would go. normally this would work just fine people make trails that follow cow paths all the time but what i think happened that ruined everything is somehow the cow got into their alcohol supply before he was sent out, so he was completely sloshed the whole time he was making the future race course. Its just a guess but it explains everything so wonderfully

nomas

State road race is over and you know what that means, no more road racing for a few months! its only exciting for like the first month then i get bored and start counting down to the next race. i still have a few more mountain bike races to do before I'm completely done for the year but only one of them is over an hours drive from My house so I'm not stressing to much.

Thanks to Kathy J. for sending me this picture of some pure sufferage during the palo duro hill climb

Americans can take comfort from the fact that not everyone in the stock market lost money yesterday "Campbell's Soup: Lone Survivor of the S&P Sell-off"

wait I'm not sure that makes me feel any better.

i haven't been posting to much lately so to make up for it here you go, a beautiful picture of me sleeping amongst the stars, or they could be star shaped fireflies I'm not really sure.

Enjoy.

So theirs been a whole lot of nothing going on in this blog thing, I've been riding a little and racing a little but not to much else. I'm doin' a little more racing this weekend, maybe I'll come out of it with a story to tell.

I think i have the fast starting and finishing thing down, now i just have to learn how to not slow down in that part that comes in between those two.
