Rock racing on the path to........nowhere!!!!

Read the article, you HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! Win or your fired? Now I don't care that there is doping in cycling when done so by the individual. If a single rider decides to possibly shorten his life by doping that's fine. HOWEVER I am apposed to the systematic doping by teams when it's presented as, 'do or get fired' I mean come on what in the hell is a rider going to do when the teams philosophy is win or get fired? They will feel the pressure to cheat. Rock Racing is a JOKE I mean shit look at the jerseys. Hello tribal skulls were soooooo 90's. I would expect this type of crap from Shaun Palmer the loser that he is but jeez. Do you believe this shit!

Long's Peak and Labor Day

Well, we went camping over the Labor Day weekend up in Estes Park just outside the Rocky Mountain National Park. We drove through on the way to Grand Lake and watched the Elk graze and foriegn tourists turn white due to oxygen deprivation...

On Sunday, i got up and hiked up Long's Peak as high as 13500 ft. I stopped along one of the lakes and got a good set of pics out of it. I did the hike not as a recreational jaunt, but a full on cardio experience...Being the air-breather that I am,I struggled to keep my pace the higher I went...anyway, I enjoyed myself as it was a beutiful day...Here are some pics...

Then Kyle & I went hiking in Castlewood Canyon this past Sunday...Check out the Doo on Kyle! It is almost Afroliscious...He is an excellent hiker though and we pulled off 5 miles and 980 vert gained in less than 75 minutes...anyway, here they are:

Anyway, we had a good time and hope to get out on Snowshoes this winter with Kyle...He likes to hit the trails with me...

Until the next time...Bike The Planet!!!

Batumi trip Labor Day weekend.

News, went to Batumi which is located on the Black Sea. We took the night train at 10:30 on Friday and arrived at 7:00 am. We stayed at the Batumi Palace. Very nice place. Built in 1888 as a church and then destroyed in the early 30's, rebuilt in the late 30's as a hotel. Batumi is a port city and also a resort town, it was not the cleanest of resort towns, we didn't dare swim because it smelled like grey water, I guess it was due to the 3 'streams' located up and down the beach that flow from the city drains. We tried the local flavor, the BBQ pork was real good and the cheesy bread is always yummy. BATUMI beer, vomit in a bottle!!!! It made Heineken taste good if you can imagine. We walked around the city on Saturday night but quickly realized that there was not much to look at except Mr. Book Maker gambling halls just puking cigerette smoke into the street. Most of us spent Sunday next to the pool, accepting crazy stares from people who had possibly only seen an american on TV. Overall it was an okay time. You can scratch it off of your 'To do' list though, you won't be missing much.
