Speaking of Scott, Scott likes Motorhead, and you show me somebody who has a thing for Motorhead and wouldnt love a Lemmy doll, and Ill show you a damn faker.

"Thats the way I like it baby- I dont want to live forever" indeed.

Now, speaking of fakers, CFO just wrote in and said;

"The roads up here finally dried out enough to ride outside today.. it made me feel this gay.

That is actually how I pictured you in my mind before seeing photos...

CFO"

The funny thing is, those photos of me CFO is referring to I was actually resting because it takes a fair amount of energy to be that happy all of the time.

Speaking of happy, The Snake Hawk has a couple of ho-downs hed like to bring to everyones attention.

annnddddd....waaaiiiitttt ffooooorrrr iiitttt......

This one;

Thats North Carolina folks. The one just to the West of East Carolina, and East of West Carolina.
It should be noted that Snake Hawk is the vice president of the CHEST HAIR NOW! action group.
Why should it be noted you might ask?

Because once youve run your fingers through his, it will be obvious.

Now, Speaking of East Carolina there are rumors abounding that theres all kinds of alley cat races happening in Monterey the same weekend as the world famous Sea Otter Classic bicycle extravaganza.
Were here to tell you that the only one that matters is thisun' right here;

Were still not entirely sure that there are actually any alleys in Monterey, but thats nether here nor there. All that matters is that you spread the word of this like so much wild fire. Rick Hunter doesnt throw sponsorship goodies to just anybody, so you know its the real deal.

And speaking of wild fire, heres a spot of proof further convincing us that Hummers are the toughest and most awesomest vehicles on the planet.

Speaking of awesomest, the mountain bike season is nearly upon us and heres a flyer and some info on one happening almost smack dab in the middle of the Golden State;

As if a free tshirt werent enough motivation, Chris supplied a little more;

"Nothing better than a free T shirt. it has so many uses. Like a seat cover for a pre-68 vw beetle, an emergency dress shirt for the trunk in case of job interview or cut the sleeves for a free all-day Gun Show.

And don't forget what wearing a Big Sandy Race shirt says about you.

"Yeah, I race mountain bikes, even though I spend more time at Home Depot."

"I don't buy my clothes at the mall, I shop at bike shops."

"I eat right all week and go to bed at 9:00 pm before race day and still come in DFL."

"My wife has no say in what I wear."

"I won a medal too, but I feel like a tool when I wear it to Starbucks."

"I registered early and race promoters love me."

Everything you need to register for this is right here

Now while a tshirt might be enough for most folks, Chris peppered my motivation with a bit more love;

As I just wrote to him, thats about enough to bring me out of retirement again.

And speaking of retirement, we dont suppose you all remember a ripper originally from Sacramento that went by the name of Sam Cunningham, do you?

Well ether way, we have to let you know that he and his better half have opened up a little bicycle boutique, if you will, that goes by the name of Manifesto in Oakland, and theyre planning their opening bash for this coming weekend.

And just for good measure, heres a photo of Peter happily crunking, or whatever the kids are calling it these days, along side of one of the shops first sales.

Thats enough for now. Ive got gobs more junk to spread around on the inside of your eyeballs, but the weeks just half way over and Ive got so save some for Friday.

Ill leave you with this prized bit of info, and just so you know what kind of badass resides on the other side of this here Swobo blog, check this link, and sleep with one eye open tonight knowing that I could take out 26 of those little hellions, however truth be told, Id imagine Id fair a bit more poorly against these kids.

With a high kick here, and a karate chop there, Im out.
