West Coast DIMBY!

where is Charlie?

where is Charlie?

I'm afraid Charlie is in that big grassy field in the sky, most likely stealing my steak. Poor little guy.

[somegirl]

where is Charlie?

Charlie went back to his regular home late last year (we were doing extended dog-sitting for them) and he passed away quietly at home last week, a few days before DIMBY.  He was 15.5 years old.

Watson isn't asleep in that photo. She passed out from the mustard gas like fumes from Ryan's feet. 

Actually, because of all the meds I was on, I believe the fumes were coming from somewhere slightly north of my feet...   

Sac thought it would be funny to take some pics of my pain... payback, I guess.   

Everything was IZ_ and IZ_

RIP Charlie.   





Looks like all had a great time.

Ohhhh sure-his legs fit in the (**&&^% tank cutouts.


I cannot explain the world of hurt riding your bike up the coast for you put me in.

I think that photo was taken somewhere around the 800 mile mark of my trip that weekend. I had also slept a grand total of about 10 hours the previous three nights. And my man Ryan had a make the beast with two backsing bacterial infection that got into his blood! But that silly son of a pregnant dog still rode. So yeah, everyone that bagged out on the ride because they had an in grown toenail or because they were busy washing their mother-in-law's car, please see above.

Seriously, its a make the beast with two backsing epidemic in the moto world:
2 months before a ride twelve people yell woooohoooo let's go!
1 week before a ride ten people are stammering "um, well, er, you see . . ." and two guys are yelling wooohooo let's go!
Just be honest with yourselves. You are going or your not. You know within days of hearing about the ride. Why piss around and pretend you're going. A simple yes or no is fine. No shame in either. You wanna day dream about what might happen? Buy a make the beast with two backsing lotto ticket.

Mother and JBubble, I was really looking forward to meeting you to in person, I was bummed we had missed you.

Polpetta, sorry we missed you guys too. We got home around 1 am Monday morning and had to get some sleep before Mother went to work.

Hopefully we'll see you guys next time!!

/I would have come but am now 900 miles from the starting point and I have a DitR to attend in two months (so scheduling time off has already been allocated to that event...)
//That, and I did co-host the FIRST West-Coast DIMBY so....

Holy Shit Carl rides

Holy Shit Carl rides

After a year away from the bike, I sure do.

But here's what I didn't do for that year: "Yeah man, let's ride!" Two days before the ride: "Aw dude, something came up, but I'll totally meet up with you next time."

That being said, we need to ride. Ryan has been talking of doing the 33 when he is better. Something tells me he is going to be very very tired for a while though.
