Ankeny Wiz Kid

On our ride home yesterday as we were riding down Delaware Ave by Walgreens I hear a "Get on the fucking sidewalk" remark and turn to see whom it tis. As I look the young man whom yelled is turning into Karl's Chevy.....well sweet I'll follow this bright individual in and ask why I should be on the sidewalk. As he parks I roll up and ask "Why should I be on the sidewalk?", while taking this photo of this bright BOY

he answers in a timid voice..."I don't know"....WTF?? Then say's to me "your slowing up traffic" in which I replied.."uhm Delaware is a two lane road buddy, if your to stupid to drive around me and my wife then I'm sorry, and you turned into here (Karl's Chevy)....We didn't slow you down"... With that I started to roll away..of course not before calling him a stupid dumbass....yes I stooped that low and I felt much better in doing so. When I got 2 rows of cars away he yelled something and had his arms up....tough guy you see:) The rest of the ride home was all good:) We stopped at a park and played for a little while...

Stopped at the shop so Andy could see how big Izzy has gotten, then boogied home to change bikes and head to the Taco Ride. A good night for the ride we had like 15 mates out.





the majority of us ended up at Giff's for beers and tacos. I have to say it sure is nice with no smoking in the pubs:) After a taco and a couple beers I was off for home. And did I have a surprise waiting for me...

3 gals. of some mighty fine swill. Marko's bruthernlaw is a good guy. I worked on his bike and look what he paid me with:) Purdy funny I had two beers last night after a good effort at the Center with Kent...and I was drunk...spinning drunk...damn whats up with that:)

Teri pulled the train in for today's commute...I was very greatful after yesterdays throw down:) I ate shit this morning too, was going up to the stop light to push the crossing button at Hickman & Colby Drive, pushed the button then started rolling around the poll back to the pavement when BAMB!! I was on the ground...WTH!! My front tire dropped off in a huge hole hidden in the grass....funny shit I tell ya...a monkey flip before work going 2 mph:) Oh well all was good on the ride in:)


Peace

Me Ragbrai Ryde

She's alive and well....

this EA70 Carbon goodness had been laying around the shop too long.....

Taking the laptop in hopes of updating with Ragbrai mayhem....stay tuned:)

This came too me yesterday from buddy Jason's commute....

"I had an interesting confrontation this a.m. riding. coming up R D Ray drive by botanical center hillbilly in a big blue chevy truck tried to run me off the road with inches to spare and gunned his muffler-less POS while doing it. big blue older chevy with confederate flags in both back windows and loud exhaust.

I blew up and chased his ass around the corner on Grand and then West through downtown and he lost me around 7th Street. so I headed back to the Y. then he comes by like he was headed East to begin with, so I run down the steps of the Y, jump on my bike, fly over the bridge, slide sideways onto Locust off the river bridge and chase his ass East up Locust. this pussy redneck starts running red lights to get away from me. I get up to the Historical Building and he guns it to get away from me. whole time I'm screaming and flipping him off.

oh god I am still just livid! worst part, that sweet ass slide I managed to keep under control gave me a pinch flat. dammit. it was an awesome slide and recover, though. ha. especially with a full load on the SUB I roll on. nice big skid on the sidewalk when I walked back over to go to work.

If you see this bastard, slice his tires or his face or think bad thoughts!"




Peace
