This is the most exciting Grand Tour since the 2002 TDF. I am loving every second of it. Media Zone might have something to do with it. I can watch the Giro every day live on my desktop. Crashes, controversy and the passion that the Italians have for the sport makes it the best. Next Thursday will be the first real climbing stage. It will be blown apart.
Yesterday was my last day of mandatory classes. I am going to continue to go to the AA classes because I have made friends and it helps me keep a strong head on my shoulders. I have never been a group counseling type of guy but after these classes and some true self-evaluation I am accepting my humility and working for a more complete and rounded me. I know I have said this several times but when horrible things happen the outcome can be a revelation.
Next week we will have the Lala mom as a houseguest. She is just the cutest, sweetest little Mayan. I am excited. I hope she can handle the Wrath of Lilah.

Ouch. My bruise is a painful knot of fury. Every step is a jolt of pain. I am doing a ride on Saturday and I hope it heals by then. I am in the middle of regaining my cycling base and I dont wat any set backs.
Dave is building up Lara’s Raleigh with Ultegra, Brooks Saddle and top brakes. It will basically have the same set-up as mine with the exception of the Ultegra upgrade. She is going to have one sweet machine. She has been riding the bike in this archaic configuration for months and it is going to be a world of comfort for her after the upgrade.
Jonah is going to go and purchase one sweet ass machine himself tomorrow. He is getting the Bianchi Milano. It is a retro urban cruiser that has some super sweet details. I am excited to have him join the nola bike gang.

The roads of NOLA well at least downtown a rough path. I delivered this Monday and Tuesday for a friend who owns a delivery buissiness called Cyclone. It was crazy, fun, full of danger and lucrative. I dodged taxis and Bourbon Street drunks like a pro.Strippers eat alot of delivery food and are great tippers. So I am lookin at new bikes because that is what I love. Willcore sent me a link to a company called A.N.T. I now know what I am working this extra job for. Beside the exercise and keeping me away from idle hands, I am going to save up to build a bike like that.
