That video right there folks, is what I base my entire life aesthetic on. People in Speedos falling down into piles of flower.
Pure gold.

Now well have 'A Day in The Life of a Folsom' part duex from Scotty.
"Took this pic of my Folsom in front of the BK bridge. I liked it and thought you guys might as well.

Have a good one

Its nice to see the good old Folsom is getting more quality travel time than I see.

Shawn the Hobo Girl dropped her cut and past, home-made style SSWC report on us. She writes;

"So, two years in a row I ride this lovely course. At first I thought the Scottish hated us, but then I realized it was tuff love and I grew to love this course and that was not just because I met up with the British ladies I rode with last year who supplied me with energy drink, half of a bottle of whiskey, which we finished and then also introduced me to the boy who I made out with the previous night; this led to the second year of me making out with someone on the trail during Worlds. I think I have a good track record for that though. I heart Scrumpy Jack, cider in a two liter bottle. I guess a few bars in Glasgow wouldn’t let our motley crew in, but I wouldn’t want to travel with anyone else now. I had the best crew to travel with! We drank Scottish Memosas in the morning/early afternoon and went riding and then got home a quarter to hell each night/morning. (One of the crew coined the phrase quarter to hell and I think he was a genius for it, but I thought he was a genius before.

The best was when DJ led a ride and we ended going up someone’s driveway. I will follow that guy anywhere because it is always fun. We found our way to a wee pub so I guess we found the right way round the round abouts.

I guess I made out with some guy in the 7-11 in the crisp isle, but my crew has yet to produce these photos and I don’t remember it. Oh, well, they tell me he was cute and Scottish. I hear the UK.

Next year it is in yer country-close too. Watch out I am gonna bring my posse of girls and we can drink you outta house and home and will ride or fall off anything trail you bring us too.
Luv, xxoo Hobo Nutter Butter luv"

So there you go. Its almost like we were there in the flesh.

Bob the world traveler sent this on;

"Yo Stevil,

In the spirit of the good ole USofA why get the itty bitty Kona when you can have one of these. The double downtube and top tube is badass.

I'm in India for a month for work. The bummer life is keeping me connected.

Years and years ago, Eric Zo had organized an impromptu fixed gear race around a running track in San Francisco, and our friend Peter Haakon Thompson crashed and broke his collar bone. To get to the hospital, Eric offered to give Pete a ride in a very similar whip as displayed in the photo from Bob.
If memory serves, Pete graciously declined.

AK sent this on about the one I affectionately know as 'The Joan Jett of mountain biking', and her devastating injuries received at the Jeep King of the Mountain finale in Beaver Creek Colorado at the start of September.
Go by and send her some virtual love. The girl is tough as nails, and we have every confidence that shell be whooping ass again in no time.

And while on the topic of ladies, some Southern Belles got more haps in Hotlanta. The full scoop is over at Atlanta Girls on Bikes.
'Clitoral Mass'. I love it.

Welp, due to sickness, injury, and scheduling conflict, the DFL cross dress #2 has again come and gone with nary a sight of a Swobite to be had.
Listen closely... The heart, shes a'breaking....
