A Fresh few Haiku s

#38; Mid afternoon nap makes heavy body weightless i sink to feel flight

#31; Spring fever kills me with its beautiful flowers pollen dust and wind

#05; Why would i want help from an idiot like you who lacks awareness

Haiku #25. Early morning bike thru the Tenderloin Fast down hill saves my white ass

under my covers

i caught a Wicked ass cold .If this combo doesn't work next step is the docs office.. ....I could just be a pussy, cause I haven't had a cold in half a decade. Guess lady luck ran out . Fuck it who needed her anyways, I'm better off alone, feeling like shit and drunk. I'm coming around to think, if I feel like shit and I'm drunk ,must be the combo kicking in.

Hockey on bikes

Flying his colors on the Chamiza. Bill is super self conscience slave to fashion when it comes to trail clothes,that explains the Steal your Face hockey jersey with the kick boxing shorts over his lycra.

Starting out on the Chamiza we ran into this guy .

Steal your face, Robert .Soon as Robert split ,Bill asked me, was that a Bandolero cause he has a Turner?LMAO.
My first Dead show was right out of High school .A summer job gave me some spending money, a friend had a chevette and we had tickets to Rochester,Foxboro and Philly.After the second show the LSD no longer would kick in, so, I abandoned ship out of sober boredom.Gave my remaining ticket to my friends to do with what they wanted . And waited for my crazy hot girl friend who was a exchange student to come home from Denmark.No boredom with her,she came back with a case of psychofrenia multi personality weirdness. You see, she was the reincarnation of George Harrison's girlfriend when he was a teenager ."You know,before he was famous that's why you never heard of her {umhem cough}, I mean me ",she would explain and then break into this cockney/U.K. accent when the other side came out { I'm not making this shit up}. I was young and could tolerate her harmless craziness in exchange for some ass ... I had the patience of a saint .--* note to self * crazy gf story for future.

The Hockey player coming up {s.t.i.l.} meadow. stil = Steeper than it Looks

Me trying not to over shoot the corner.

That grin says it all,I think he's planning to give me a body check /round house kick combo.

Well on that note

You may need a morning jacket

Nice weekend ride with Tim and Anthony.

Anthony zooming on the Borrego trail between Aspen Ranch and Rio en Medio.

Tim coming around a corner.
One of my favorite local loops is Pacheco canyon over to the Rio en Medio trail especially when you add on Nambe and Rancho Viejo in the mix. Too early in the snow melt to ride the later.None the less we fully enjoyed our Sunday.

Tim cleaning trail that connects REM to Pacheco Canyon .Right before this shot I was coming thru and my front wheel stuck in the stream and I went endo.Ouch, bruised my thigh and will be limping 'til Thursday.
