Quarter Century!!!

at 8:25 in the am today i will have been around for a quarter of a century. not very long when put in perspective, and it doesn't really feel very long. i mean when i remember back to elementary school it seems like yesterday.

anyway my mom had a cookout for me on wednesday, cause thanks to the holiday weekend my schedule is still weird and i have to work on my actual birthday july 8th. luckily the place the cookout was held is at the bottom of my favorite trail. so i got a couple of my friends together and we did a shuttle run to the top of the mountain so we could ride down.

here we are loading up

and here we are unloaded (my bike is the green one)

here is a video of the trail we rode

there are more pictures on Ashleys blog

all in all it was an awesome day

Hit Cove Creek Today

so went riding today. was a pretty good ride. was one of my friends first ride in pisgah forest. here are a couple of pics from today.

heres ashley getting ready to hit josh in the head with a stick.

this one was just too funny to not post. josh enjoying his post ride burrito.

new technology, yay!

well there hasn't been much going on the past few days. watched eclipse again, but this time it was pretty funny. there was a girl sitting beside us and the entire movie she was literally sitting on the edge of her seat and biting her nails. then when something happened in the movie she would get all giddy and giggly. i just didn't realize how much people got into it, i guess

in other news i bought a new phone, its a htc incredible. its a huge step up from my blackberry.

haven't been able to ride cause i have to work. stupid holidays.

Anyway heres a picture of my cat after her bath.

I have a blog?!?!?

Ok so I have a blog now. Why do I have a blog? Mostly just because I have been watching my girlfriend (underthoseneonlights) blog for a little bit. There's that and then there's the idea I had to help me train for a race and possibly score me a set of I-9 wheels.

So in order to train I am going to have to ride more and refine my diet. In my head these two things should help me get the wheelset because I have a deal with Ashley, the deal is if I can get down to 220lbs then she will buy the I-9s for me. I figure doing this publicly and just making an everyday post will be very helpful.
