MUCK!

As much as my rig loves being detailed for 20 minutes after each winter ride, i'm getting so tired of it. I'm looking forward for my almost certain clear weather ride tomorrow!

Photos and Garmin data from my trip to Europe

Here's a slideshow of all the pics my dad and I took throughout my trip. It was so sweet! I already miss the food, the culture, and of course my parents.

Rude awakening :(

What a rude awakening after being in Bavaria for 10 days. It was so clean everywhere, everyone was so nice, everyone works so hard, they're so honest and genuine. Almost everyone takes so much pride in themselves, their heritage, and pretty much everything they do. I must admit I feel more at home in Germany then here.

watch out, this is gonna make me fast!!!

A few pics

Headed to the Dolomites today with my dad!!!!!!!!!!!!


Here's a few pics. I'll put a slide show up when I get home.

Oh yeah! All set for the big trip tomorrow!

All packed to head to Schweinfurt tomorrow to visit my parents! So stoked! I shipped my board and stuff ahead of time, 23 days ago, still no arrival...I hope it gets there. Chelsea's stuck in school so i'm pretty bummed about that, so is she (obviously), but I hope I won't miss her too much. I think it's the longest we've ever been apart :( 

I've got some great plans with both my parents- my dad and I are headed to the Dolomites for a couple days and we're going to tour the Audi factory too. I'm going bowling with my mom's German ladies coffee club too, BRING IT ON...enheimer!!! Most of all i'm just stoked to see them and relax with them; and second of all, I can't wait for the food! I've got more SD cards packed then a Japanese nerd so i'll have tons of pics to share.  

Looking forward to hanging out with my bud Matthew, a local single track shredder, and i'm also looking forward to seeing my friends at the Sram factory. Last time I was there they were so good to me-they hooked me up with a rig and took me on a bunch of factory rides, on which they showed me just what Bavarian hill country and cobble stone streets are all about. 

I'll be arriving fully stocked with some great Crankskins samples to pass out, as well as a spent XX chainring from Crank The Shield ----> to RETURN! ...lol..

This guy taught me how to ride on the road:
