RocKsTaR!!!

Finally, after a month of being laid up I went out and drank copious amounts of micro toxins(aka Alcohol), ate a great meal and hung out with good people. I partied like a teenager, hung out late and really just relieved some stress. This past month was monumentally difficult for me. I am an active person who is used to going out and getting physically involved. I am full of action and for me to be out of the action for so long has been torture. But finally, I can see that I am in the final stages of my recovery and I can see the future of joy and freedom that awaits on the horizon.

I got up early today and tuned into the Tour De France. I am a Die Hard Mountain Biker so I truly only like to watch the stages when the race goes into the Mountains and today is the first day in the Alps. Thank God for DVR's cause I will not get to finish the stage this morning since the wife and I are going to go and catch an early showing of Batman at the Imax theaters in Orlando(if you don't know what Imax is, Google it for goodness sake).

I also spoke to Jeff from Carousel Design Works who advised me that my bags would be ready within the next week or so. This would mean I would have my Ultralight touring kit complete for the time being and I will be in a position to start using it. As well, the Black Beauty is in the shop, getting a Stan's Arch wheel built up for the rear around my XTR hub and the ZTR I had on there is being built around a DT Swiss hub to be used as a front tire for the War Machine. They are also going to look at the drive train, ever since that one sand slogging session the thing locks up under pressure, I am sure something is bent I just hope whatever it is can be easily fixed.

I feel much better today and I am excited to finally be getting back out there and doing all the things I love to do without worry or concern. Feels so refreshing..

I will post pix of my touring kit when I get it,
Enjoy,
Laters,
