what day is it?

I can't believe how fast time flies. It just seems like I put something on here just the other day. Well, I have been back to Ferdinand a few times now for some sweet night riding. My new Surly also came in and has been put together. I took it out for it's maiden trip last Friday. I had so much fun that I am going back again tonight! I can not belive how ummm...... fun that bike is going to be. All I can say is if I ride that thing at Ferdinand every week, I will be ready for my next trip to Pisgah.

I had a good night of bowling Monday after a few weeks of some real bad bowling. It didn't start out too good with a 152. It got a little better the second game and ended up having a 194. I was content with my performance after that game. It was much better than what I have been doing. But by then I had a few beers and seemed to fall into a groove. I knew the third game was going good, but I did not really pay attention to what I was doing. It got down to the 10th frame and after the first strike I noticed that I had several strikes in a row. Not enough for a 300 but still good. I ended up striking out the 10th and finished with a 258 and that gave me a 604 series. I could not believe it. That is only the 3rd 600 I have had this season. Several 500's, but the 600's have eluded me when I got near. The thing that makes me mad is if I could have just bowled my average te first game, I would have closer to 650. Oh well, I can't complain. Let's just see if I can bowl next week.

Here is a pic of the new bike.

where is summer

Man o man, I put in a great ride Sunday. We went to Ferdinand for my first ride of the year. It tore me up!! I guess too much PS2 and beer didn't help. Oh well what can you do?

I hope the weather holds off for this weekend to get back out and ride. Not sure where yet.

Steve finished up in 4th place last weekend in the High school bowling sectionals for individuals and he is just a Freshman. Just wait till he gets a little more time!!

I should also be able to get him out in the woods this summer some too! Speaking of getting out in the woods. I plan on getting my boy on his new mtb this summer. He is sporting a 20" Diamondback. Not the best, but better than what he had. It is not singlespeed yet, I will let him grow some first. He is only 5.
