Love your dirge Fatty! Hope everything goes better than you expect. You don’t sound too optimistic but I’m sure you’ll do just fine.

Today, it’s off to work I go,
To wish outside my window to be.
With my Pixie to feel like I’m flying,
And letting the wheels spin under me.
While Fatty stresses and starts the Tushar,
I will be wishin I had a bike ride today to be doing.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, on my mint green/white bike I shall be,
Finally away from the worries of work, to be free.

Thank you.

(And to Eric L, I can’t wait to see what Fatty comes back with on the GoPro, too!!!)

Good Luck Fatty and The Hammer. You both will do well. Can’t wait to here how the cross performed. :)

DavidH – I can’t believe you’re going to do the Death Ride. On a tandem. You are crazy. I hope it’s the carbon fiber tandem!!!

Allez Fatties!

Doing a friend a favor
Putting their beater back together
My weekend started early
My fingers filmed with grease
Now on my keyboard
And on my lucky pint glass
Tomorrow i do not race
But simply ride
At a casual pace
Wife by my side
(or maybe a few lengths back)
For the spawn are at the grands’
And we get to ride together!
As we tour around the bay
We ride together at last!
(Or maybe a few lengths away)

Thank you (and good luck on the race Fatty and good luck on the house Skye. And DavidH needs something besides luck, i wish whatever that is his way)

Welcome to GoPro fun Fatty. I love mine. I hope this means the next time you do a triathlon you will film the swim so we can see what it’s like to have people swim over you.

Make sure to buy the biggest memory card you can lay hands on.

Good luck on the race!

Free verse Friday on Friday
makes sense this week,
as today is Friday
and seems like one, too.
My panic is ensured not by a race
but by the optimistic listing
of my house
for sale
without another one
picked out
or even dreamed up.
So… now to live out of a duffle bag
in my best friend’s baby’s bedroom?
While I paint and re-floor, and clean clean clean
and wistfully oogle my shiny bike
sitting neglected on the porch
while back and forth to
Home Depot I drive.
Over
and over
and over,
7 trips in as many days.
Poor bike.
We’ll be back together soon, I promise.
And we’ll live somewhere too.
I promise.

Thank you.

Here we sit,
Anxious, alert, awaiting

When now is / was the Tour de Donut,
And when will we see the race report?

Oh Fatty, you have us hooked!
We sit on pins and needles,
Waiting for your missives!
Hooked. Indeed.

Spare us

Thank you
