So Hot Outside

Well the heat has hit the east coast hard the past two days. Tuesday it was close to 95 when i left for my ride had to be 99% humidity also. It was a rough day out there. Did a TT effort hopefully seven springs will not any hotter than that. I don't know if I could take it with the aero helmet on. As it was on a 3 hour ride i went through 6 bottles. Yesterday was even worse I actually waited until 5:30 to get out on the bike. Today I have a big day of driving planned. It seems like no matter where I have to go if i get in the car i end up spending @ least 45 min of drive time a day. Today I have to go to the verzion store to return my LG Chocolate phone. It is worthless right about now. It ghost dials somehow i have no idea how considering the call button doesn't even work. I knew it was only a matter of time being that schmity's Chocolate has already went back 3 to 4 times. I figured there was no way I was going to make it two years without harm done.

Mafia Hitmen

Canada Again

Made it up to mount sainte anne last night. Well i made it my bike wasn't so lucky. I met up with christin and his farther for the trip up which is almost becoming the norm to head up to canada every weekend for some type of race. Christin straps my bike down and we head on the the thurway up towards the boarder. We are on the road for less than 15 min when this mafia Lincoln navigator pulls up next to us telling us to pull over. We pull over and guy says how my bike came flying off the rack and hit his Navigator. These guys look liked they had just walked off the set of a filming of the Sopranos. The one hit man said for get about it at least 30 times in the hour we sat on the side of the road. Maintence transported my bike up to our location or at least what was left of it. I'll post pics when i get back home. After about 30 minutes with the trooper we continued on our way. I will be racing on a borrowed bike this weekend thanks to matt operman and john rourke @ Gary Fisher for setting me up with a bike for the weekend. Here are some pics from the last 2 weeks..

It has been a long time

I have been lacking on the updates as of late. Well since my last update I went to my cousin wedding and then headed up to canada for the tour de beauce. Unfornatley for me I ended up getting a little sick at beauce. Which meant i was hanging out in canada for a week. I got back home last night and finally got back on my bike today. Went for an easy ride with chops and even got on the bmx bike for a little while. I have my fingers crossed that i can do another ride tomorrow and try to put some type of form together for the world cup this weekend in canada. This will be my fourth weekend in canada since i got back to ny a month ago. That is about it tomorrow i will try to do put up some photos from the past week or so. Also some time this week I will try to get over and take some pics of chops and crew at the trials. He has some sick jumps he has built up 20 foot gaps that are way taller than me.

Work

Well my rest week is officially over. It has been uneventful except for tuesday night i went down to the city with a couple of friends from high school and went to the beer garden in queens. It was an outside bar in the middle of the city which was cool to see. Thursday I played my 1st round of golf of the year. It didn't go terrible i just play on a par 3 course because i was running out of time. After that i checked out the state qualifiers track meet at the track i use to spend every afternoon at in the spring. I only got the to see the mile of the events i wanted to watch.

Friday it was off to work at mariners, bar backing from 2p.m. to 2.30a.m. Saturday I woke up around 11:30 on the bike @ 12 to work @ 2 out @ 2:30 a.m. I won't lie my body is so worked over from that. I did more lifting in that 24 hrs stretch then i've done since chops and i built the jump up at the school. I was also suppose to go in today but thank god it was raining in the morning so i didn't have to go slave away.

Insteaded I head out on the bike for a easy 2 hr ride. The hellish weather is back on the east coast. The rain jacket came out twice only for about 15 min at a time but it was a complete down pour. This week i will be back on the bike logging in the miles getting ready for beauce. Also my cousin is getting married this weekend so i will be off to that on friday get back sunday night then off to beauce on monday morning. I wonder if snyder worked over landis at the teva games. I saw jungle jay took the W which is awesome he is like the king of the CO races.
