Below is my current bad ride travel vehicle. This is sorta an expirement in blogger photoposting with images from my phone as I am too lazy to be that creative. I almost gave this car up but couldn't quite find a buyer that was looking for a vehicle that gets 33mpg. I guess gas is too cheap right now or people have to much pride to get in such a POS. Somethings that I like about this car is that I can get 3 bikes with wheels off behind the backseat, 2 bikes in the bike seat, and 2 bikes on my sweet, no investment, homemade rear rack. I use to hate this car when it had a roof rack but then it came alive when I took it off. For some reason when I did that, my fuel economy increased about 30%. I know this would vary vehicle to vehicle but it makes me wonder about how responsible a roof rack is for the environment when other option exist. Anyway, its cold out and I am going to go warm myself over a nice styrofoam bonfire. Goodnight...

Another day of sh*t
Pretty damn cold today. Yup pretty damn cold. Went to the Bike World Ames roller race. I felt like ass, not sure if it was cuz I was trying out a new bike on rollers or what. Could have been zapped from the drive into the head wind with random hairy ice patches. Either way no biggie. I was glad I went. There was 1 All9Yards guy there so this was a race they weren't gonna control for a change. Its too bad they didn't make it up. I really like those guys. I wonder what they are up to. I'm pretty sure I am gonna get a powertap. I vow not to blog about it. That shit really annoys me. I don't want to know peoples watts, HR's, and Zones. I want to know why they had an awesome day and why they are blogging about it. I don't want to know if they think they are fit and the shit. Seriously though, a show of hands, (all 6 of them). What would you rather hear about? Somebody blogging about how effin awesome they are or someone blogging about how bad their day sucked. I seriously think people relate more to a person having a bad day instead of reading about a person and their wonder twin activated powers. My favorite quote today came from Harper, and he admitted he stole it from someone else, but I still liked it. I asked "how are you Greg?" And he responded "better than I deserve." Aren't we all that way? Its still damn sh*tty cold, and I am awesome.

I think I'll be a dick today
Since I have about six readers or fewer, why not be a dick. I don't mean much offense by it so why not. First off, my hobbies are expensive and putting me in the poor house. Why not sell some quality time with myself to support my hobby. If you are interested in spending time with me while paying for some of my racing let me know. Seriously, other people are doing it, must be a good idea, and who wouldn't want to hang out, go to McDonald's, rent some DVD's at Blockbuster and chill in my man cave. Secondly, not to totally put down the hundreds of volunteered hours that go into planning and administering the Iowa Cup series, as that is a very noble thing to do, what is the deal with leaving all state championships out of the series? Wouldn't Iowa cup be a great way to promote these events? Anyway, I'm an idiot so what I have put above should not be deemed offensive in any manner but could be I don't know. And while I am on my dick mode trend, I will remind everyone, my friend Nick has a tanning bed. I am not kidding..............
