An Idea for Motivation and Change

So I have been thinking lately and have been kind of bored with same old thing every week, which has kinda caused lack of motivation. So I was wondering if people were interested in starting another short track series like we kind of attempted before. I know it didn't really work out before but it seems like the mtb scene in tally has kind of grown rapidly in the last year. There is a lot of new faces and it seems like more people are interested in racing or crazy events such as the ally cat thing and crazy long rides.




I know everyone kind of has there own week rides and it pointless to do it during the week. Saturday is kind of always a for big group rides on road and off road. So that leaves me with Sundays. So currently I am thinking about either a 8-9am or 5:30-6pm. This way hopefully it stays out of family stuff and conflict with normal park visitors.



Race format would be 30min plus 3-5 laps with the majority being double track with a little bit of single track. There would be only one class to allow for our crazyness to be short and sweet. No prizes! No entry fee! Just Pride and Bitching! The race would have no team, shop, TMBA, and CCC afiiliation. I am talking old school rogue series. I am thinking that I would attempt to have the race at multiple locations. Ihe idea would be to get an email/ facebook message late in the week.



The idea would be to get in a hard short hard effort in less than an hour so that people can live there life but still get a good hard ride in. I want to see some new rivaleries, mix in different crowds and see tempers flare.

Finishing Up The Semester

School ends April 18! Here is a digital version of my rough draft of my outdoor music experience area based on the historical song "dueling banjos."

sleep school work hw sleep

Last year this time I was riding about 5-6 times a week and accumulating 12-15 hours a week. I barely did any homework and squeezed by with grades. I lived in an empty house and was going to sleep at 8 o'clock cause I did no homework and had nothing in my house other than my dog, food, and a bed.

Wow have things changed. I live with my parents again, have a girl friend, and have one of the most time consuming majors in architecture. My life now consist of me being up till 3 o'clock in the morning on average three to four nights a week doing homework. I still squeeze in about 31 hours of work between h2 and sunshine and I am lucky to get 1 ride a week. The free time I do have I spend trying to catch up on sleep. I have gone from being up every saturday and sunday at 7 to make a ride, to sleeping till 10:45-11:00 to catch up. Its weird and I don't like it, especially since that has been my routine for about 15 years. So hearing and reading blogs about rides where everyone shows up or just getting invited and not being able to attend hurts and really bothers me. Because while y'all are riding I having to make a model or draw. The good news is that day light savings is coming, the weather is getting warmer, and the semester is actually pretty close to ending. I have three weeks till sb and then I come back from sb and only have one project after. So hell is coming to an end pretty soon and I will be able to join the crew again.

Snow Bound (by surprise)

So today was the the first day of vacation to north ga (mccaysvile) and there is about a foot of snow at chet-e-cheeto's mtn cabin. It is a weekend of a bunch of flashbacks and trips down memory lane. I was with the smith family when they were searching for the house and when they first moved in. Chet and I basically lived together growin up. We were tallys golden boy juniors and best buds. So this is the first time we have taken a trip together since he started college. So bonding and our egging and encourage ment to do stupid stuff has already begun.

Today is also the first day I have been around snow since I left Durango. It is weird. It makes me miss my boys from my freshman year and it gives me desires of driving sideways and stupid through the snow. To bad I don't have the driving skills of the vermont boys and the colorado mexican, so I am leaving my car on the main road and dreaming of drifting and making it up the icy slopes. O and I plan riding the single speed around the neighborhood with out falling on the ice. On top of that I plan on riding at ocoee through the snow on a winter wonder land ride through the snow.

So the combination of people I have missed spending time with and the combination of my wonderful girl friend, chet's sister who I have grown up with, and my two best friends tyrell and elizabeth. Add some beer in there and a week away from work and its hard to beat.

Bling Bling

Buford Ball aka, lil Skinny, officially became a pimp today. He is now sporting a custom "blackcat" green collar. Yeah you heard right! custom bitches! So hide your female dogs, because they will instantly become in heat when they see lil skinny and his bling bling. Male dogs will either bow to him or run off and whimper when they see this stud running the trails or just when he is searching for a new girl or bone at pets mart. His swagger is at a level that has never been seen before. It will even make GQ member Jim jealous and make Worm cringe in fear. I better not let Mrs. Worm see him!

Even though his swag level is at an all time high, he still has time to read my blog. I guess he knows who fills up his dog bowl. He does look a little bit embarrassed though. Guess my swagger is to low for his liking.

Bike Chain Collar? hmmmmm
