So I have a few vices. Like, Bicycles, food and beer. Or are, What once were vices are now habits? I'm a pretty simple guy. None of these vices affect my ability to function daily.

So the mice took advanced soapmaking. I combined  a vice into class and Made an Ommegang Witte soap. City mouse made a goats milk Chai tea soap. You trade bars with other classmates. One lady called my beer soap weird. Good for her. Stay in your Ivory world.
I got a nice gardening soap and City got a almond bar. Shower anyone?

On the food side tried a nice pineapple polenta with a pineapple salsa. The curry for City's "Men who cook" turned out to be a big hit in Pa. Rocked that one.

Riding has been scientific to say the least. Cory and I have been true the program and I can feel it working. We did one of his famed road rides saturday. Now he posted it for all to come. Only 4 "ommegangsters" showed. Some view us as crazy riding our good bikes on dirt and seasonal roads. Way more fun than grinding out hours in the wind on the road.

Your fancy bike can do it.

Blogger is having a mind of its own again here.

City mouse did a nice concert. Jaunty and I made it down for it. Good to see the Tom and Mary again too. Ran into some old friends at dinner. Didn't even recognize them.

Looking forward to racing starting. How are the legs? Where's the fitness? It's all money in the bank towards that goal of a Kross Championship. Haven't even rode the new rig yet.  Right now the Merlin still continues to shine. Single Speed Palooza is only weeks away. Then the genetic freaks will be out in force.

Enjoy Life, Drink good beer, love the one your with.

Listen to Ray Wylie Hubbard , Elizabeth Cook, Robert Earl Keen, The Allman Brothers, Neil Young and Jimmy Buffett. The list could go on and on.  Add in the Band of heathens and The lost Immigrants or even the Bonzo Dog Band.

Now get out and ride.
