Well it snowed... damn it. Other than going to town in my truck, I've been stuck inside for 2 days now. The water is flat, no wind. Icy roads...
For those of you that know me, have a great big laugh... Only for a select few.
Anyway, latest news:
The other 2 Dead Pirates are still lazy bums... Seriously, snowboarding? Chasing college girls? Collecting unemployment? My crew have left, it seems, for the winter...
My new bike is up and running. With winter riding, I'm still running it with fenders, sans rack. The original Fisher frame is over 50% rebuilt. I've added a 9 gear cassette. 30 inch tires. Composite rims. Super light and aggressive. I'm still researching nitrogen inflated tires. The reason is we use N charged auto tires on the blocks that haul crab lines in. Work thing... It may work, I'm thinking.
I've probably just given away a million dollar patent...
Ok, why am I excited about today???? It's 30 years ago that, THE ONLY BAND THAT EVER MATTERS, THE CLASH released London Calling. Their music changed my outlook as a dumb kid...
Why The Clash? It was the first time I beat the spandex, metro, French Canadian, butthurt, and feel free to add any descriptions... LONDON CALLING blasting through the headphones. Are ready for the ending?
Boundary Bay was playing that album for the post race beer fest. Epic and karmic.
This weeks totals ; 82 miles, and shut down for 2 days. Looking forward to the rain, and a return to our coastal temperate climate.

I'm sure you'd get injured just as every other non-snowboarder I've made the suggestion too has gone on to do, BUT don't knock the snurf til you tried it brother.
ReplyDeletePersonally,I know the alley, where Jack feeds on the birds of night.... I know, I know, wrong album, but it worked for high speed climb arounds on Dry Fork road......
