The ride this am did not go as planned. For the first time in a long time I had all kinds of mechanical problems.The chain was skipping over the rear cog. That means everytime I put pressure on the pedals I had problems. The climbs were rough but otherwise I was able to do the ride OK. Hit the Starbucks on the way home and all was good.

I replaced the chain and rear gear and will give it a try tommorow. I need a new digital camera for posting pictures on the blog of general stuff as well as future pics of the brat. Hint Hint.

The weather is absolutly awesome right now. Tommorow I will be raging out on our local 24 hour course on the single speed (cant wait). Thanksgiving was good and like everyone else I ate way to much. I could use the ride to get all that turkey off.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Turkeys in the oven.

The tour went really well. We were able to get Christina in under 5 hours which gives her platinum for men as well as women. Not to bad for a barley 17 year old. 404th out of almost 4000 people not too bad.

We are having Thankgiving here and I will do the usual brine turkey thing I do. The gravy and rolls will also be on me but that is it. Everyone else will bring a dish to make it complete.

Alright it is here! The tour is in 11 and a half hours. After this weekend we will have a week or sow of down time to get ready for Christmas. Then the real busy time begins.

Thanksgiving will be at our house, as usual. So be here early to get a spot at the adult table.

Todays plans:

We went to the doctors office this am and everything is good and on scheduale.
Put the finishing touches on Nasal Drip Harris' room.
Put the trash out.
Get the road machine ready for the tour.
Go for a night ride tonight and ride the singlespeed 29er.
Time to get cracken. See yaa!!

Well it is 5 days away from the El Tour De Tucson and we are swamped. A customer told me the tour is full and entry is closed. That means we have over 7000 people in town for the event. As the days go by we will be getting busier.

New E-mail address. dkharris111@yahoo.com . So if you e-mailed me in the last week or so I proberly did not get it. Nothing new here otherwise. Went for a ride today on a demo bike. Pretty cool ride review to come after a few more rides.

Ahh bunch of crap in my head. Cant breath cant think. Sick of being sick allready. Missed the race this weekend. I figured that would put me in the ER, so I skipped it. I have taken 6 multivitamins in 48 hours and drank a bunch of fluids.

Michelle walked last night for 20 minutes on the trendmill. Tonight she will walk the mall and get it in that way. Good for her! The race is tommorow and I think I am coming down with something (uhhhgg). I took a handfill of vitamins and drank a ton of juice. So basicly a am urinating floresent yellow. Hopefully I will be good to go tommorow.

Everyone including the doc says that Michelle should be exercising everyday for at least 20 minutes so the delivery will be easier. So that means I will be going for walks now as well as riding my bike. I am going to get super skinny yo! I better start eating more.

No other new news to report everything is going well and the weather is nice highs in the mid 80s with some wind but not bad. Tomorrow will be a long ride and tonight I am of for some hill sprints with Cory. The race this weekend is a low priority and I would not do it except I need some motivation to get back into a training mode. Nothing does that like getting your tail whipped at a race.

1427 hits on the old blog. Kinda cool I guess. It would be good to know who is looking at it. I wonder if there is a program for that. Saturday is the first mountain bike race of the season and as usual I am not ready. It will be fun anyway.

Things are going well with Nazal Drip harris. We are right on task. Michelle said he is moving around alot lately.
