quick update, to stave off the army of crickets

i got to wear my Arrogant Bastard bike jersey to the ER. that, along with my salty, weird-bearded, floppy-hawked face got me a lot of stares. the kind that don't get averted upon return. heh. i was there to see hops who eneded up with 8 stitches to remind her how to unclip from her pedals. it was quite an adventure and deserves a blog posting of its own.

the last three days have made it obvious to me that i'm a yo-yo dieter with a yo-yo diet period of 24 hours.

also obvious: i really loves me the road biking. 2 reasons i like it better than hiking: if you get in a scrape, you can call for medevac and they can get to you without any special gear. you can go much, much farther much, much quicker.

also: my bro told me to watch my speed coming down the tram road. so when it hit 47mph, i was watching it, and didn't miss my new personal bike speed record. man, that's one hella bumpy road.
