In My Hotpants Jam

I thought I was super tired, then I heard that slap bass and woke the hell up. Now I'll never get to sleep.

Race Mechanicin'

This weekend I will be at Blue Lake doing race support for the Rev3 Triathlon. Today we spent the day doing race tunes/check overs. Tomorrow we will be neutral support. It will be interesting to ride in a car while the race is right beside me. Then I get to jump out anytime there is a problem and do some quick fixin'. Uhhhh, yes.... It's pretty bad ass. I was surprised to see how many people traveled far for this race. I am not familiar with Tri races so I didn't really know this was a big deal. Who knew? I wasn't the only one from our shops who went to represent. I brought the newest member to our family, Muck. He is wrenching over at our sister shop, Fat Tire Farm.Muck has had a lot of experience as a race mechanic and does the Hawaii Ironman every year, so it was great to have him to work with. My friend, Jason, also joined us and checked in bikes as they came and handled the general order of the repairs Muck and I had.

The year I was born.... I raced out of my mother's birth canal and into the world. What? Ok, I will be the first to admit, that made me sound like a weirdo.


Muck, fixin' shit.


Jason, being awesome.



These wheels were the Embrocation colors. I love them.


One minute I am fixing bikes and the next...
....I am stand mashing. What's that? Oh, just this thing you do to where you mash your face off while the bike is still in the stand. Hence the name "stand mashing". Geez.... it's like I have to spell everything out for you.


Muck and the timid valve extender. Come out extender.... we won't hurt you.

That's one way to do it

Gripshift on TT bars? I love you Portland.

Oh, what a party!

I don't know what more to say.. other than: dancing in sand isn't as easy as you'd think AND not all Bassets need to be supervised, including mine.

Holy Shit Jam

I love it...... kind of makes me want to hump. Get over here.

Rubin Field... Mr. Radtrue

It's good to have the little guy back.

The 4th

You know it's a party when you burn your girlfriend with fireworks right after she asks you to be more careful. She still loves me.
