ya know what?

fuck every last one of you
for not believing in
what I believe in.

happy fucking new yar.
here's to the sheople.

fuck you.
i'm drunk.

peace
and love,
Tomi

ride
your
bike.

shut
up.

road ride?

when the old man on the tractor tells you:

"yep, then after the T
it gets a little rough......
then go thru the tunnel."

expect an adeventure

into the absurd. sorry,

no pics of the logging

skidder tracks or the

bushwack down to the

Turnpike & back...follow up that effort
with a sweet intro to
the 'shed and
call it a weekend.
thanks to the Outlaw
and Mr. Larry.

good times.

so here's the deal.

just threw up a post on MTBR.
some sort of poll thing
about recovery drinks.

didn't have beer listed.
saw a quip about 0.9grams
of protien per lb of body mass
for a competitive cyclist.

WTF????

I mean seriously.

WHAT

THE

FUCK?

these fucking people are fucking amateur fucking mtn bike racers.

they fucking quote Chris Charmical and JoeFriel and
whoever the fuck VelonewsLanceArmstrongsuckmyonecarbon
testiclefuckingbullshitmainstreamfuckingbuklshitpowertap
labratorybullshitbull;shitbullshit.

!

fucking bullshit.
just ride your
fucking bike.
you are racing for
fucking water bottles.
all of us are,
get over it.

ride until you
get tired, then
keep riding,
it's pretty
fucking simple.
'train your weakness,
race your strengh.'

.

then drink a beer.
eat a balanced meal
of what your body
craves, eat a
fucking steak.

get up the next day.
go a bit further,
push the line a little
bit farther out and
learn,
what works for you.

get what you need
from the earth,
not from some
fucking lab,
as tested by some
fucking lab rat.

define
your own
damn limits.

just ride
your
fucking
bike.

woo hoo

suddenly, I'm

in the mood

to celebrate

precision

more pieces to the puzzle
acquired today, and yesterday.

not happy with initial results,
difficult to replicate hand filed
precision with bulky electrically
powered tools. time to bolt
some shit down, does look good
against the clock projection.

worst case, not really though,
is picking up the lathe my dad
offered on Christmas, which is
an awesome addition to the shop
anyways. That'd be 'Plan D'

gonna make this happen,
learning why certain niches
remain unfulfilled......

not quite live

not 100% ready,
but close enough to
put it out there.

TOMICOGS!

i love bikes,
bikes are freedom.
bikes occupy wayyy too
many of my thoughts.

bikes are expression,
inspiration,
motivation,
raw emotion.

almost full moon shadows,
it was cold out tonight.

bikes.
are.
freedom.

chilly

Bit too warm for snow, shucks.Went from 60 & sunny morning in NC,

to a sunny high 30's Blacksburg afternoon,

to an ice coated 32degree morning in Meeshow, neat. Followed Buck's hunch and found sweet terrain for a new link.Pete gettin' RAD!Rode the new D & L Connector, nice!

New cog was tested for another three and a half hours, as the 8-ball says: Outlook is Good. Refining the storefront and working out some wrinkles, hoping for production by Christmas.

memory lane

took time to visit Blacksburg.first time in 15yrs.thru the old stomping grounds.then tool around campus. quiet stealthy spin, connecting then with the now. found something.funny to look at where you've been.long drive.product testing..

lemonade

heading to Asheboro NC

overnight worktrip.

rare occurance for me.

fixy in the car.

maybe a trip back

to my roots on

the way home.

fun with files

got anxious, broke out the ski tune file.hand beveled each tooth, it took awhile. Living room trackstands and laps

to the kitchen were promising.

So broke out the file again tonight. 3 Hedonisms + In Rainbows+ Hail to the Thief + 4 tracks into OK Computer = 16t, 17t & 18t This is neat.

and yeah, I'm keeping tabs on the comments and threads and whatnot, don't worry if I haven't gotten back directly....
