CAN YOU SEE MY CRACK??? PART 4....................

This story is getting old.

THANKS DUDE...I OWE YA' ONE...

Looks like Maciej might be telling Bender his plan to give the old Bubbster a piss-warm beer hand up in the sport race.

more jokers here.

SCHWINN SIX............


I have invested 2 cans of paint and 2 brake cables in Julies vintage 1967 Varsity. Tires, brake pads and a little elbow grease courtesy of TRTS. A basket should finish it off nicely.

Julie and I missed WORS 3 in Wausau Sunday to hit up the Miller Lite Ride for the Arts. We were volunteer course marshals on the 50 mile route...(although Julie will be quick to point out that her computer read 55.3 miles at rides end) She exceeded her previous longest ride by well over 20 miles....she did use her road bike for the event, however because she'll be lucky to survive the crappy bike ride on this tank.
Make no mistake....This is a coffee shop bike all the way.

You'd think after a nice gesture like making her a bike she'd be my friend on Facebook??..Nope.

TRON WAS ROLLIN' THE BIG WHEELS AT CRYSTAL RIDGE LAST NIGHT......


Really

IS IT JUST ME????.............

Or does this look like some twisted mountain bike version of West Side Story? I think Walls even has a pack of cigs rolled up in his sleeve.

Some pics. later tonight.

I WIN.....IOLA RACE REPORT..........


The Wisconsin Off Road Series kicked off the 2009 season last weekend at the Iola Bump & Jump, hosted in the wooded singletrack of the Iola Winter Sports Club outside Iola, WI.


Having done very little training over the winter, I had fairly modest expectations, but after a decent 15 mile warmup I started to feel a little better about my chances. The weather always cooperates at Iola and it remains one of my favorite venues.


I felt fairly relaxed at the start chute... just checking over the equipment and preparing myself for what was sure to be a tough couple hours after sizing up the competition.


Don said goooo...and I made a conscious effort not to get all snap-happy right off the line. I waited until the first descent in front of the start/finish chute before going to work.


I then settled into a familiar spot for me.... right at the end of the rooted "straight shot" between the pines towards the end of the lap, but quickly got antsy when I caught a glimpse of Rusty out of the corner of my eye.

A savvy tactician , that Rusty.....I quickly latched on as he made his way to one of the most strategic areas of the race course with me in tow... a sandy turn exiting some fast singletrack on the final 1/3 of the lap is where I really started picking off the field... catching one rider after another using Rusty's ho made "tanning-tinfoil-light maker thingy"to my advantage while finding my grove and eventually ending up with the overall victory among some very tough competition.

Thanks to Claire for her time and hard work with all things WORS. She did, however spell my name wrong while giving photo credit.

Keith is spelled B.U.B.B.A.

Equipment specs....

Camera: Cannon something or other

Lens: a pretty big one

Memory card speed : no clue

Lighting: Mr. Golden Sun and Rusty's Golden Tanning Shield

Next up is WORS #2 in Rhinelander and some chick has already waged a challenge thinking she has a shot at the title.... She has no idea what she's getting herself into.

A brand new kit and a super-cool, steel, one speed, locally built pedal bike....
Lookin' at the pictures, you would think I'd be a little faster.
