Dog Days of summer

I'm trying to work up a rant about something, this webpage has been so damn boring lately (other than Dave falling and knocking himself out - I'm worried Dave that you have burned up too many braincells doing crazy stuff, you can't afford to lose any more, next thing I know you'll be doing f***ing RAAM or something).  But nothing is coming to me: Bush - done to a crispy fry;  Forest Service -don't even get me started again but nothing new (though I love how they let fires get huge and out of control, then try to fight them - just so they scare everyone and guess what, they get more money to fight fires - ay carumba!); Le Tour - yawn, call me when they have to go up hill and they actually race - man July used to be so pumped up with racing and stuff and now - nothing!

I did do the "death ride" last week and was going to give a full report, blow by blow Dave style, but nothing happened.  No-one blew - well, Alex did for a little while, no-one crashed no mechanicals blah blah blah - kinda boring riding and even worse to write about.  It was a long day  - 240 miles, 5 passes, 16000 feet of climbing and record hot - join us next year, the first Sunday in July - if riding all that in 16 hours sounds like fun.  You Dave worshippers might like it...

That's all, sorry to bore you - I clearly need a break.  Next up is the Breck 24 Hour Adventure Race - hopefully I'll have something good to write about.  If not, I'll make something up about how crazy Bush is - ah, couldn't make up stuff that's as crazy as he really is.  Maybe I'll write about who's doping and who isn't...

Note:  I posted this entry before Dave and Lynda's blogs were up - I certainly meant no disrespect to either and didn't at the time know how seriously Dave was hurt (sorry Dave);
