Rock Racing ***Tribute***

Yes,
I am officially obsessed, the scenery the view, the speed, the crowds, and the excitement of The Tour of California has officially left me obsessed with the Rock Racing Team.
It's true... Michael Ball Founder of Rock Republic has entered the wonderful and international world of cycling. He's had the passion himself for awhile and has brought his ridiculous amount of money into this breathtaking sport.
He claims there he's "Here to stay" he shows up with the largest tour bus that legally can be driven in the united states of America, with two escalades with bikes rack on top, and a Rolls Royce all with decals top to bottom.
His parade demands your attention....
and if that doesn't work, then his line of the misfits of cyclists that he's brought out of retirement just might do the trick!
Below are pictures from the Tour of California... and this is my tribute to "Rock Racing"









Yes. I had an illegal amount of fun...

Amgen Tour of California

Been home for a couple of days... nothing much other than running errands, and doing laundry that was waaay over due!
I am packed now and ready to jump on the plane again. My destination you ask? The Amgen Tour of California! I only have to work on Sunday for a couple of hours, so I am flying in today and will probably hang around until Tuesday or such! Will play it by ear though and see what happens.
My friend Troy that works for Cannondale said it's been raining relentlessly the whole tour and that he's just ready to leave. I hope the rain is gone when I get there, because I'm pretty sick of the rain and cold weather right now also.
HOPEFULLY I'll get some awesome pics to post later!
PS>
Rock & Republic is a big sponsor this year... guess who they have riding for them?
Check out their cool video on their website!

MTB or Marathon Weekend?

SO while up in Austin Omar and I pretty much hit all the trails out there!
I have to admit that it was a lot o fun!





We basically woke up early in the morning and spend that time at Park City...
we took a lunch break which Omar traded the left overs for a nice family photo!

After lunch... we headed out to green belt that took us forever to find !   After we found it though it was worth the invested time!
This morning I woke up and went out with my new crew to Walnut Creek.  I think overall this was the best trail and if I ever find time to MTB in Austin again, I'll probably go there first!

Road Trip to Austin!

I
am in Austin for the ATT Marathon.

I rented a car and drove from my house, to Austin... I came up with a good friend Omar. It was really nice of Cannondale to hook us up with 4 "Rush" mountain bikes. We are going to hit the trails pretty good tomorrow!
On the way up we stopped and picked up some of the important things of a road trip...


As we drove along the road we saw this crazy replica of Ghost Busters!


And only in America will you see a sign like this at a gas pump :)

Tour of Palm Springs Recap.

I flew into Ontario Cali on Thursday, from there I drove about an hour over to Palm Springs.
below is the view.
I find Palm Springs a place that used to be filled with famous individuals and a huge love for life.  It truly is a funny thing to be staring straight at a palm tree with snow capped mountains right behind them.









Obviously not my beer, but obviously funny.

My Favorite Type of Passenger

Palm Springs Plus Super Bowl.

So far I have to admit it feels really really good to be surrounded by all of the cyclists and all of the bicycles!  I wish that there would be more on my tour this year, but basically after the Final Stage for the Tour De California that is pretty much it.
At least I will end the cycling stuff with a bang!  Hopefully the blank gaps will be filled with something cycling related.
Here are some pics from SuperBowl.  Not too many since it was "SUPER" busy!  ;)



The gentlemen in the red jacket at the top is a "new" good friend of mine.  I have convinced him to begin bloggin' and I think that he loves it already.  He is a lot like me when it comes to traveling except he gets to do a lot more international as where I am only nation wide.
When you get a chance stop by and pay his blog a visit!

More Rock And Roll

Seems like I have a lot of unfinished rock and roll pics first.


So when I ran the Honolulu Marathon one of my toes changed colors...

but later on I smashed my finger during the SuperBowl just so that I could have a matching set.

I know Lame...
Here are other random pics from Phoenix Rock & Roll.





Sometimes alcohol does not equal good.

This is Rec... & a table.

this is Rec and Devin on a table.

Any questions?

Mental Note...

while flying to Vegas with a lot of the "older" generation plus alcohol.  You will NEVER get a chance to use the restrooms.

Peace out to the SuperBowl.

BUSY!
update tomorrow... "hopefully"
I am at the Phoenix airport right now... working my way to Little Rock, AR. 
Be there tomorrow and then "maybe" I will go home for a day. 
I then will fly to Palm Springs on Thursday and work the "Tour De Palm Springs."
Bikes...   yes :)

Update..

Sorry, it's been awhile since I have had a chance to post.  I went home to Texas after Phoenix for awhile, after that I went to Denver for a couple of meetings for the new Tour this year.
New staff, but you'll see in the future pictures to come!  It should be a good year!
I am now in Phoenix for the SuperBowl Experience.  I probably will be too busy to take pics, but I will see what I can pull off.
Also I have other pics... but I'll upload those in a couple of days when I have more time!

Ultramarathon Man "finished"

I finished reading the book "Ultramarathon Man" from Dean Karnazes.
What a GREAT book!
Here is his link to his personal page, well worth the time to browse it.

Here is a quick video of Dean.

Phoenix Rock & Roll Marathon

I'll have more pics hopefully later today. happy but not happy with my final results!

What's on the Menu?

Sometimes when I pick a restaurant, it's because of the good chicken that they have...


Other times after I get there... I change my mind.

The best part about working a boat show is all of the free food the sponsors get :)

We don't take advantage of course.

Check & Checkmate!

I usually talk a "big game" but this time,
While I was out playing a "little" bit of Chess...

I ran into an interesting pair of undergarments... not ONLY are they SEXY, but you can wear them FOREVER & without worries!  Now that's what I'm talking about!
