A2B 2010 DOUCHE BAG OF THE YEAR ANNOUNCEMENT COMING SHORTLY

The guy in the big ol white pick-up truck is a contender for A2B Douche Bag of the year, and a very very late entry into the sweepstakes as this just happened yesterday right here in Colorado, however, he did not win the 2010 title, that has been reserved for another Douche Bag to be announced shorty.

ANOTHER RUDY PROJECT PRODUCT REVIEW COMING SHORTLY...

How Rudy Project saved my nose...coming soo.

NEW PAVEMENT WEST OF GYPSUM..........

This has been a bizarre winter to say the least. After the winter of 2009/2010 saw us freezing our proverbial asses off last year, for what seemed like an eternity, with virtually no good snow to ski until the very last couple of weeks of the season in March and April, this winter has been off to a big start in the mountains for snow with very mild temps. So mild in fact it rained for four straight days here in Eagle and up Valley, which for me is a blessing, as I truly do not like the snow much anymore, nor the cold, other than to ski occassionally. So I was pleasantly surprised on a bonus two hour road ride yesterday (three days in a row in Decmber? Insane) to find the new stretch of bike path west of Gypsum paved, and it was sweet, and interesting, and right on the river, and Martin J. Erzinger proof. Hit it.
I'm going for a ride...

 

 

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME....SOMEONE HAS MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE

I went to my mail box yesterday and pulled out the stack of catalogs and bills which appear everyday anymore thinking nothing of it. This morning while sifting through the pile of doom, I came upon this gem, and I smiled, for it reminded me of a similar scenario many many years ago. I have not received one of these for years, but low an behold, this is what you get in the mail somehow after paying ALL of your bills WITH late fees on time for the past two years. An offer for an American Express Gold Card membership, with the first year annual fee of $125 waived. Apparently, the folks at American Express see me as a "live one" that they can get even filthier rich off of, god bless them during this holiday season for bringing so much cheer and joy to my life.

Here is the reason for the smile. In 1981, just prior to graduating from college, I received an approved gas credit card (remember those things?) from Chevron. IT WAS FREE FUCKIGN GAS FOR A COLLEGE STUDENT! So guess what I did. go ahead and guess, I dare you. Well, myself and good friend at the time Steve Jaffe, jumped in my 1974 Mercury Comet, and drove across the United States of America for nine weeks, and put every ounce of gas on that credit card, and I was STILL in college. We went everywhere, played golf at Pebble Beach, watched baseball games in every city that had one when we passed through, went to Tijuana, Banff, The Big Easy, San Antonio, Tucson, LA, San Diego, Portland, Seattle and Colorado (which became the reason I would move here two years later), just to name a few,  before heading back to the east coast where we both had relatives to refuel and then back south to Florida, in large debt. I've got a jillion pictures from that trip, and do not think I have ever been credit card debt free since that day. So thank you American Express for bringing back that memory, but I do believe that this time I may have to pass, you bastards. Ho Ho Ho Ho!! Merry Christmas!
 

MARTIN J ERZINGER SPOTTED DRIVING IN MONTREAL..

However this can not be confirmed due to the fact that he did not stick around after allegedly drving through this intersection...

LET'S GET BACK TO HAPPY FACE....AND CX

Ok, enough, like Dave said during our conversation yesterday, we just have to move forward and let the absurdity of the hit and run case go away, and concentrate on changing things the next time we can vote. It's done, move forward. So, with that said, we had a great day of Cyclocross in Lyons on Saturday which helped determine the overall Boulder Cyclocross Series points winners. With double points on the line there was some FANTASTIC racing. And better yet, Dave Towle stopped by for a good part of the afternoon to hang out with the crowd, racers and at the announcer's table. Dave reflected on Nationals in Bend and spoke of how what a fantastic vibe and scene the Coloradan's represented while there, and that it truly was a state team effort up dere in the great northern country, wish I could have made the trip.

That said, the first stars and striped made an early appearance when Gage Hecht came to the line in our Junior field proudly wearing his National Championship colors which he dug very deep to earn...Katie Compton, Nicole Duke, Ashley Zoerner, Matt Pacocha, Jonathan Baker and Pete Webber were just a FEW of the Colorado riders that opened up there HUGE cans of woop ass in Bend. Very well done indeed...
