THE CAR WILL ALWAYS WIN!

Now i ride my bicycle alote, pretty much every morning up imigration canyon in salt lake city around 7:30 before work. There is a 3-6 foot bike path up this canyon and down which to me means plenty of room to give cars a chance to go up this canyon with out having to worry about hitting one of us. I havn't figured it out but bike riders and this means people on fixies to weekend warriors think that the second you are pedaling you can run a stop sign one moment and blow through it the next. They really think they are above the law. Now I hope I am saying this with people knowing that I HATE DRIVERS WHEN I AM ON MY BIKE. I get yelled at, pushed off the road, things thrown at me basically all of the above for riding in traffic legally, and all i am saying in this entire thing is, bike riders move over why are you riding 3 and 4 deep up these canyons. riding bikes is not about catching up on your neiborhood gossip on the way up. Ride single file, stay out of the way of the cars because I think we all know one thing. THE CAR WILL ALWAYS WIN!!!

A Rowing Confession

Now I was watching the olympic rowing and there is no way they are that smooth and I can't even make this thing work that is when a little research went into this entire operation. I little mounting error. Some may say goofy or regular I say I put my oars in the Oar Locks backwards and it was causing some major problems. Now that that is said onto the next subject because rowing just got so much fun!

Row Row Row your Boat...

I have always wanted to do this. I like riding bicycles, I lived in Europe for a bit and saw the queens university team rowing every morning for about 4 months and that was amazing so I finally purchased one and no the Olympics really didn't inspire me to finally do it.



I Basically had no idea what I was doing. I tried getting in the boat. Now that was a trip the bottom of this thing basically is shaped like a bowling ball. Then I just went for it and could not get the boat to do anything that I wanted it to do. I tried going forward, backward, even tried just to get back to shore. I was telling the boat to do something and it wasn't listening.

I went home, went to sleep dreamt about it, woke up at 6:30 a could not believe it but I was sore. my back, shoulders, arms, abs, it was amazing, so I jumped in the truck because i hate being defeated and tried again. Let me tell you what an amazing morning on little dell reservoir in salt lake city Utah. Calm water, no one around me and a boat I could not control the day before and I started rowing it. I will be Honest a canoe with 3 big beautiful women in it could of beat me in a race but i finally started moving.

Besides golf and skateboarding this has to be one of the most difficult sports I have ever tried. But it has been a 12 hour period so maybe i will start getting the hang of it by the end of the week.

Now it has been a few days it is now Friday evening I launch the boat the wind is coming out of the north west and there are white caps on this lake. Now I don't know if you know anything about these types of boats but sculling and white caps really don't go hand and hand so I do it anyway. I row up the lake and am really feeling good. I turn around start Rowing down, my oar catches I loose my grip the oar goes to the side of the boat and splish, splash I am taking a bath. What a trip and what a blast but scary as hell when you are 50 yards away from the shore can't get back in the boat, and the wind and current is really sending you farther out into the lake but all turned out okay or this would have never been posted.

ONCE IN HIS LIFE TIME

Dave MIRRA, You know the king of the bicycle, not the tricycle the bicycle, the thing with two wheels on it. The size of tire he rides is not the 26" or the 700c but the 20" bmx tire for vert, street, dirt and so much more. Yea the little kids bikes that we grew up on. The Bicycles we tried so hard to jump but for some reason could never figure out how to get them to get higher then 6" off the ground with our fantastic bunny hop plus the heighth of the curb we were so stolked on jumping off of. Well it looks like he moved up the ranks and I was there to witness this. This is Dave Mirra's first attempt at jumping another fantastic vehicle and I thought you would all like to see it! This was the Saturday before the X Games in Salt Lake City, Utah just down the street from RememberDelaware.com where i work and spend alote of my Time.
