Life, and a Bike Ride

Tuesdays with Dirty: You boys ever been to MEXICO!!
My recent travels found me wandering around Quintana Roo, Mexico. The plan was simple enough. Fly into Cancun and wander around for a while on my bike.

“What’s Judi mad about this week?”
This morning I woke up at 6am, coughing. I layed in bed, holding my pee, and coughing. I was hoping I could lay in bed a while longer, but the cough kept on, waking Dominic up about 20 minutes later.

Expounding on a theme…
So I have been thinking lately, looking at Big J’s posts on who is, and who is not a Baller (obviously, those not mentioned = not a Baller). I have a nomination.

Youngest El Tour Finisher

For those of you that have followed the site, you know I’m a big fan of the stories in the middle of the pack. Or, in some cases, as I was often there myself, the story at Read the full article…
Taking it on into the weekend:
Being the dirty old skateboard and bike addict that I am, I tend to watch a lot of videos. Back in the day, it used to be dubbed copies of Curb Dogs and H-Street videos. But now its sitting in front of a computer at work watching the newest (and oldest) stuff online. There are a few videos Read the full article…
