Learning my way around

So today i woke up and headed to a small coffee shop on Pearl St. to meet none other than old Texas native Brian Kendall and his friend Randy.

So After meeting up Brian and Randy took me on a little tour of what Boulder riding is all about.

It was today that i found the myth to be true. Thats right I was a Witness to the "Big Big" warnings I was warned about by the professional masters rider himself. While I sometimes do it on accident, it might take some time to figure out the logic of "Big Big". The ride was awesome, easy pace which my legs were thankful for after yesterdays exploration up the steepest paved road in North America from what im told. Besides the awesome pavement, little traffic, seeing old and new friends and the ever present views the ride was average I'd say. I dont know if this boulder riding is all its cracked out to be...

Oh and check this out. The towns in and around Boulder supply water stops to everyone. What a waste of time. I mean I know I loved stopping at the gas station in Fredricksburg and getting hate stares.

So after this ride Randy hooked us up at Snarfs. All i gots to say about that is that snarfs has some mean subs.

So if this is what JHK and Nick do to get fast I think i might be able to go through with this living in Colorado thing, the only thing stopping me is the "W" word that Jason fears probably more than I do.
