I have decided to come out of the closet.

Saw this gi-normous snapping turtle brute before I got past the city limits. She was laying eggs. I made her deal, I would not bother her, and she would not remove my fingers.




















As Jimmy Buffett would sing, "I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise"






















Today was a warm one. I drank 200 oz's of fluids, Still felt woozy towards the end. Rode 65 miles of gravel travel. I hope I can fully recover and do her again tomorrow. It is supposed to be 90 tomorrow. Seems I am still getting used to the heat and am effected by it more then I would like to be. Had good energy, pushed the pedals hard up to the last 10 miles and then my zip got zapped.



























Open letter to Mr. Floyd Landis.

Dear Floyd,
I have decided to come clean today. After 30 miles saddle time in today, 100 oz's of water, and lots of gravel dust, I spiked my Mountain Dew with a 5 hour energy boost, and I doubt if I am peeing clean right now, with my caffeine levels being so high. Thank you for giving me the courage to come out of the "closet"
Your biking brotha,
Dave
