Or at least I wish I had a Scottish accent. We watched the movie Aberdeen last night. It was good in that indie way. At first I thought I might need subtitles, like a typical thickskulled noncomprehending amerrrrkan. Then when I was able to understand what the actors were saying, it just made me want to be Scottish, particularly when they say the "f-word". Goddamn profanity sounds so cool with that scottish accent. So do the insults. I need to bone-up on my Scottish eptithets.Riding yesterday consisted of my 35 minute ride to work. Didn't leave work till after 8 pm. Didn't even motivate to change into riding clothes...just put binder clips on my work pants and rode home--basically on sidewalks. It was awesome. Won't let that happen again today. The hubs is dialing in his new ride...The hubs is going to break out the new single speed this weekend, complete with new pedals and new shoes. Maybe even a new Rudy helmet (if his hurt wrist allows.) If you see a white/green flash on the trail, stay clear, he's not nicknamed pummel for nothing. Or you might see him dealing with some catastrophic, ride-ending mechanical. With him, either scenario is possible. It should be AWESOME mountain biking this weekend. Mormon trail is on the menu for Saturday so we can cheer on some psycho wasatch 100 runners. In other freaky endurance news, Lotoja is also this weekend. 2 of my teammates are doing that 206 mile ride (seems more like a ride than a race-ok I'm just minimizing it b/c there's no way I could ever do it) from logan to jackson. Hope they're packing the pb&j's and gorp. I'll have to make sure they get the chainmarks on their calves juuuuust right too.
Good luck you crazies!

I have a better ride for you than "just" the Mormon Trail....
Tiff? Mountain biking? Really?
And how are you going to do race-pace-intervals-with-sufficient-rest-while-pricking-your-finger-to-test-your-lactate-level-and-tracking your-aerobic-zone on the Mormon Trail?
Sat. is the 6th -- you should do the Mill D to Guardsman to Dog Lake to Mill D loop -- I bet the aspens are starting to change.
With all this hard core biking Tomas must have thinking of your winter down time. Belligerent drinkin'-n-pukin'!?
i went on hardcore ride today, attacked 3.5 miles of mountainous residential albany terrain in 90 degree weather. It was like trying to breath through a hot wet blanket. Also my back tire feels like its going to come flying off- I guess those $80 walmart bikes aren't built to deal with the mach 3 speeds I break.
I got word today they're going to appoint me as captain for law school rugby team- also made everyone laugh today in my 9am torts class discussing a case about russian roulette. I brought up the topic of constructive intent- Professor was impressed and told me to run with that idea and I said I'd rather just walk with it for now. First rugby game tomorrow morning vs Hartford Connecticut! Forecast 70% chance of rain with some rain and rain
Funny! I felt the same way about the accent when I was flying through Heathrow a few weeks ago. It just sounds so much better than we do. Glad you are enjoying the best bike!
CHELLIE!!! So great to virtually see you!!!! we thought you had forgotten about your friends here in the 801! :))
it's a good job you like the way the Scottish swear, because they do it A LOT!
