It's been awhile. I'm sure if you read these you say "It sure is" or have given up.

But the mice have been busy. We made it to Belgium Comes to Cooperstown. A fun brewfest. But way too expensive in the end. Plus I had to reign myself in the as I was going race at Highland Forest aka The Quagmire. Panhandle played the brewfest and there was some good food.

Next on the beerfests are The Ithaca Brewfest and then The Big Pour.

We also celebrated Jaunty mouses' successful cancer treatment. How you ask? Why with more food and drink at Moxie.


So it was the return to Highland forest. Pops always said " If you'd move up I'd be on the podium". So I did. Back to the Expert ranks. It poured at the start. So lap one was follow the rain rut. The brakes started to go. Lap Two was peanut butter. No truly no brakes. Lap Three a comedy of errors as I Flintstoned it around the course or looked for things to bounce off the change direction. No crashes. At the end nothing in the tank. Thus the "Hollow Empty Eyes".The "Ommegangsters" slayed it that day. Jeff W became "Delicious" and Katina became Mrs Delicious. Pretty funny story. As usual Jeff's parents were there cheering us all on.
Dougs Fish Fry was a winner on the way home.


The kitchen project continues. DNA really helped with the floor. We three banged it out in six hours. The crazy thing is my legs are killing me. Worse than any race I've ever done. I guess it was all the up and down. Muscles that don't get used.The "Flair" is up for sale. How retro. But no ones biting. Where's the hipsters into this?
We did try to get cook. But we hit every diner for breakfast. Busted out Jaunty mouse grill for a fine meal.
WE took the Strom down to Wellsboro to check on City Mouses possible new digs. Got to hangout with Tom and Mary. See the new scooter. Took a ride and saw the Grand Canyon of Pa.
City Mouse got a little squirmy towards the end of his 270 miles. A gel pad??? Nice work LGV

Kross is kreeping up and that means race promotion duties too. Plus the weekly practices.




The new rig is ready to roll.

Also more pics at the other site I'll try to maintain.


Get out and ride. Drink good beer,love the one your with. OGQ

nice pics - good and muddy...I want to hear about the Belgium Beer Fest. I'm enjoying a Manneken Pis at the moment in honor of my Uncle and Karl.

Hope all is well - we're off to Bermuda for a week! Woo hoo!
