I’m not one to shy away from hot weather. After all, I’ve been rocking the 100-115 degree days since I was a spring chicken. I have a feeling I’m more reptile than mammal, after all when it gets too hot for me my skin falls off and I grew more… But today, today was hot.
I have been struggling to drag my ass out of bed in the morning. Today was no exception but I was determined to ride to work. I pulled myself together and got out of bed right around 7:30, a half hour past when I would have liked to get up. I felt tired, a bit too tired, but I wanted to ride. I geared up and headed out. It seemed the ice I had put in my bottle was gone before I even hit the road. I didn’t feel too hot but I didn’t feel good. I made the ride, but then I stopped.
Once at the shop and stopped, it felt like my temperature went straight through the roof. I began to sweat profusely. I doused head in wet water but couldn’t get cooled down. I stood in front of the AC dripping wet and felt like I was gonna fall over. Then the fatigue set in. My ass was dragging for another hour or so. Even after a Mtn. Dew to get things moving.
Damn this heat!
In political news, the Red Rock Crew has determined that the move by Arizona to make racial profiling legal, is actually good for the nation. What we discovered, after minutes of debate, was that Arizona was secretly planning to get all the Skinheads to move their where their ideas had been validated and they could begin to hunt darker skinned folk legally. Once all the Skinheads have moved to Arizona we will simply hand it over to Mexico. At which point, all the Skinheads will become “illegals” and be forced to mow Jorge’s lawn for him and pick Maria’s lettuce. This plan is genius when you think about it. It rids us of the Skinheads and allows Kharma to play out its role by making haters the hated…
It has also been determined that there is absolutely no problem we can’t solve, as long as we are given the chance.
In current events, I did payroll and had to try and read an entire TPS report that had clearly been the victim of a recent BP (Bryce Pratt) coffee spill. Luckily, we were able to cap the coffee before any further damage was caused. In a happy ending, for a change, I was able to read said report and pay Dan for what he had done.
In advocacy related news, Cimarron busted her gut and got Dixie Mountain Bike Trails Association proposal in on time. We got plenty of comments so all of the SRMA’s should at least be considered. For those of you who haven’t been privy to this process, the entire county of Washington’s trails, roads and public lands are being “zoned” if you will, putting many of our local trails in peril. The DMBTA got together in a matter of weeks and we have been able to bring the mountain biking community together so that the BLM is impressed with what we have done. Back to the proposal, we obviously submitted requests to keep everything we already have, incorporating Greater Goose trails and Guacamole into the official trail list. Hidden within the proposal are the two mesas that I have been eyeball fucking for the past few months. So if we can stay organized and on task, we will be able to keep all of our awesome trails, but may be able to grab some more future trails as well. If you aren’t already following us on the book of faces, do so here. That reminds me I gotta email the dude who is gonna build our website…
Didn’t find the email, hopefully Cim can help me.
Out.
