Dirty Bird

Some good local mountain bike and road events on the horizon, so lots of practice is needed.

Making the transition to the full lycra costume is difficult for many, but once embraced it really is tough to go back. It is good though to keep it real every now and then and rock the cotton. In fact it looks as though The Butcher has a nice cooling system dialed in for warm days.

> Beard induces sweat
> Sweat drips onto cotton tee
> Cotton tee desperately clings to the moisture = cooling effect on body
> Suck moisture out of tee to quench thirst
> Repeat process

You know, like the water cycle. Thats science.

Unbeknownst to the group there was a prize awaiting them at the end of the ride. Dirtiest rider got the dirty bird. However, if it was known that wings from Smoke & Spice were on the line then most probably would have laid it down at any given chance.

Cotton tee would've made for a great built-in napkin for saucy wings.

  8. I was riding with Jamie on Thursday and he said to rely, that we rode a Classic Horse shoe. After he explained it I realized we weren't stopping for a fun game of horseshoes. JLo MTB'ing won't be the same.

  9. Never fall for the horseshoe, extreme weather generally awaits. JLo will be mtb'ing soon. September is looking to be a big month in the dirt.
