Life's tough, it's even tougher if you're stupid.

Guns kill people just like pens cause spelling mistakes, cars create drunk drivers and spoons create fat people.

Super fun article! I'm gonna get me a lighter bike and join in the fun next year.

I learned the hard way to towel off my bike before the dog. I'd rather have a slightly oily dog than a hairy bike.

Beautiful west coast, ocean inspired pottery.

Thanks for the kind words!

I like to have these articles up on the Tuesday after the event but with AIRprentice this weekend it just wasn't happening. Too much going on right now.

Please let me know where we aren't hitting the mark for our articles as well. We're lucky to have our bb denizens as a resource and we're interested in what you have to say - the positive and the negative. If you see any typos or errors I'd like to hear about those as well - that's something we take very seriously.

Thanks again to the Shuttlewhores for inviting me into the fold and congrats to everyone who rode the Triple Crown - no matter how you did it.

Big props again to the vollies who run the show. Great work one and all. Sharon Bader gets the lion's share of credit for the event running smoothly and James came up with the crazy idea in the first place. Without them there would be no Triple Crown.

no because i can read.

Being an agoraphobic adrenaline junkie would be pretty convenient, because you could get your rush from just going to the store to get some milk instead of having to jump off a mountain or out of an airplane.

they also call me "balloon"

I knew the day was going to be in question when some of the whores had finished 3-4 beers before even leaving the old buck parking lot.

I had a hard time catching up at the last minute after finishing the registration.

No shit, we had traffic blocked off on the road to let the riders through out of the Old Buck parking lot, half the team started the Seymour climb - beer in hand.

Sidenote…people had a fantastic time without drinking too! Lets not get the image out there that it's a drinking contest only.
