beautiful cross, do not fade into the night

I do envy those hard dawgs of winter ~

they that hibernate during the windy springs of rain and NRC sweep,
they that dust off wings and pump up lungs for late summer squashings,
they who's strength and resolve build to to meet, head-on,

the sleet that freezes hands,
the cold dark soul-sucking mud
reaching for you, through drivetrain
as purgatorial demons might
in some nightmare moment of chase, flee, devour.

And the glassy, classy, free-flowing days of road racing all too soon infest my psyche. The speed, oh ... the pure speed ~ calls to me, beckons, demands me pay tribute.

and i do.

Though satisfied with this past year, there are still scratches left un-itched. I find myself ... reaching for them.


somebody slap that hand.

no way. scratch away, bro. cross is definitely a hoot, but my body keeps reminding me that i am a roadie.

your frame is one step closer to being a reality.

and i have renewed hope that this crazy experiment might actually work....

Jezz.. we haven't even had any Turkey yet and the road is calling out to you already huh?

I feel you though, pure speed is an addaction for sure, better than any crack and you might just live longer because of it!

Mud, rain, snow, mud, rain ,snow..

this is the mantra.....
