06.25.05 - giving a shout out'

wow - seems like i have been bloggin' a ton lately.

anyhoo - got a TON of pics from my dad yesterday that he took during big bear. not too many action shots, but have some good photos at the start, end, etc. i've posted a few of my favorites, but all of them can be seen on my flickr.com site here:

SOLOGOAT FLICKR PHOTOS!

I have about 17 pics posted from the race so far, and i'll do the rest of them tomorrow.

in other news, got signed up for conyers later in the year. looks to be a nice venue. booked flights, hotels last night - already registered.

looks like andrenaline will be cool - i was going to do the holiday farm race this weekend, but my hands are not gripping too swell.. and... even though my legs are OK, yesterday was the first day i could sit down on the bike without making some type of adjustment to the saddle. ouchy. i'll find out the details later as to what my options are, but there is a race in late october in arizona.... maybe....

interbike - speedgoat just got me signed up so i booked the flight last night. if you ever get the chance to go, it is definetly worth it just to see the spectacle. as i told a buddy of mine - "bikes, babes and beer - what couldn't you like?" no, seriously - i find it pretty interesting to see how the industry really works, the people involved in making and getting products to the shops, supplier issues, profit margins, supply and demand. i work with accounting software that specializes in pretty much every industry (the software is called great plains - used to work with timberline) but my specialty comes with construction/service type companies. just seeing the similarities/differences is very interesting to me. (so how many software consulting CPA's do you know - that race endurance mountain bike events?) guess you have see it to believe it. it's just cool to walk over to a booth and there is the founder of the company telling you about his bikes/product. way cool.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

that's about it. going to see the new batman tonight and tomorrow jennifer is going to make her double choclate cake which is to die for. it is soooooooooo good.

i like to save a few pieces, and stick them in the fridge. on two very special mornings, i'll wake up and grind up some very delicious starbucks coffee because i am a coffee snob and cannot put up with bad java. i'll microwave the choclate cake for about 30 seconds because my microwave sucks, and just like magic, i have a little piece of choclalty heaven.

i really got to get out more.

speaking of which - i need to ride! and so do you!

peace out dawg.

sologoat out.
