Trippin'...

Road Trippin' that is... Birthday party on my fathers side of the family this weekend in his home town of Fulton, outside of Oswego, N.Y. I like things that are well engineered. Like Carbon Fiber, Shimano anything, Duct Tape, Zip Ties, and this here 08 Dodge Challenger SRT8. It belongs to my cousin Tim and he took me for one hell of a ride in it. To say it's fast is an understatement. This is mostly a blog about amateur cycling so for those of you who may not know much about cars , I'll explain it like so... If "Tornado" Tom Boonen was reincarnated as a car, this is what He'd look like. Fast, unnerved by high speeds, good looking ( right ladies?), and Total ROCKSTAR! See Tom's ongoing battle with certain recreational drugs. ( Note that I do not condone such behavior, I just read VeloNews. It's not my place to judge anyone... ) So when I got home this afternoon , I immediately jumped on the bike and went for an hour long spin. Felt great, though not as fast as a SRT8 Challenger. Note to self- Buy some TUBES tomorrow on lunch, jackass!

Oh, almost forgot, I introduced my Nephew ( 8 1/2 ) to the classic "Slow Ride" by Foghat and "the Worlds Loudest Clap". What's the worlds loudest clap you may ask? It was my ill-fated attempt to get a spot on The David Letterman Show. How'd that work out for me? Well you never heard of it did you?
