Stupid Hurts

It really, really hurts. Back on the 9th I made the mistake of not watching where I was going on the way to work. I had made it all the way down the Mount Vernon trail, on and off the metro and down Telegraph Road. I was say maybe 100 feet from the door at work. The construction crew who is doing work on the lot at work had placed lumber across the road. Yes a 2x10, dangerous eh? Me being the smart person I am was looking at the construction site. The board came out of no were and bit me, I hit the deck.

Didn't think much of it, some scrapes and bruising. I went to get up from my desk at work and what the fuck my knee won't bend. I pull the ice off and it looked like a gopher trying to push its way out of my knee cap. This is no where as talented as

Tommy Garrison's

dismount from his bike on a trainer, its pretty damn close though.




Docs saying 6 weeks, its been 2. I can bend it now and make it down stairs like a sort of normal person as of today. Cuts are healing, so its coming along. Still no riding for 3 weeks now. Buh bye fitness, if I had any.


The Jake The Snake is about ready to be assembled. Lacking cassette, chain, brakes and a bottom bracket. Money is dictating the build. Can't ride so no rush.

Where did the time go

Well January went by in a blink of the eye, February is already upon us. Scary stuff. Got 75% of the stuff I need to get the road/cross machine built. Skimped in a few places but I can upgrade later. Riding is starting to pick back up. Did 60 last weekend with Pat Phillips. Rode the WOD out to Reston and took the CCT back into Alexandria, I bailed at Van Dorn ST and hoped a metro....yes HTFU...whatever.

Been commuting still, went down to Hains Point yesterday on the way in and hoped on the Noon Good Pain Train. Hung on for 3 laps and the pace was still going up, fenders and lights got some funny looks. Good workout, going to make it a regular thing for me.

No racing in March did some research on the Michauex Enduro, and well no reviews on the trails + Zach Adams = I will not be attending. After last years cluster fuck, forget it.

Niner needs work, it currently needs a new front tire, brakes bled/rebuilt badly and the fork looked at.

Welp thats it later folks.
