why you get out of a warm bed

so why would i get up at 5am? this is why. this is the sun rising over brocks gap. not only is this beautiful, but i am listening to some great tunes and between the music and the pedal strokes i am at peace in my head. now that is a beautiful thing! i am also on the way to meet some of my biking friends and they are just a great group of people that i really miss when i don't get to ride with them. when i get done, i will be tired in one way, but ready to get things done. days i ride are always better days!

i do things other than riding

i'm just in a blogging mood today, but tired of talking about riding. so here's a pic of me in our kayak which i absolutely love!!!!!!! it's especially great when you stay in a cabin that's right on the water so, you can leave the kayak at the edge and jump in it whenever you want, say 10pm after a few margaritas. what better time to call your friends and besides, the best cell reception was in the middle of the lake! we were at vogel state park in georgia with our friends cheryl and kevin for a few days of relaxation! we did some bicycle riding, but i'll save that for later, and i rode with kevin on his very cool bmw motorcycle (great roads in the georgia mts. for a motorcycle)!

don't ya just love pink...lol

so after 3500 miles this year, i for sure needed new tires and what would be better than tires with pink side walls? i just love passing a guy on a hill all decked out in pink. not nice, but sooooo fun. come on, you know you love to kick some ass out there! besides, what car could miss me?
