Hot Dog Eating Contest

That's right folks, you heard it here first: we're having a hot dog eating, beer drinking contest tomorrow night at our house, 'round 7pm. Be there, or be square. Do it. Do it.

Long Time, No Type...

So, it's been a while but I'm trying to get back into the swing of things again and reappear as a regular blogger. The last few months, as many of you know, have been more than hectic and so the free-time factor was nonexistant. But now, fall is here, the wedding went off beautifully, shop is slowing down, I'm going to have 2 days off a week again, Fruita trips again, margaritas in Fruita again, Dinosaur burger!! Woah, somebody stop me.
Group rides are up and going again after the wedding week off. We rode last night and it was the maiden voyage for the new Ellsworth Evolve. Before we even reached the trail-head, my brand-spankin'-new-never-even-been-ridden bike fell off the roof rack due to Slappy putting it on funky. Luckily, no harm done and we went for a really crazy ride. There were about 8 of us: Slappy, Jimmy Reed, Dave, Tim, Ted, Mandi, and I. We headed off a little late for a pretty steep unknown trail and by the end, I'd crashed, Ted crashed, and we were riding in almost blackness. We're all ok and had a blast by the end of the ride (I can't say I was happy all the way through). We loaded up and headed to Ted's for a few brews. Good night all, in all. Ted, Slappy, and I did have to form a new hiking club (I'm not only the president, I'm also a member) as the three of us did almost as much hiking with our bikes as we did riding them. Gotsta sleep now. 'Nite.
