night ride

Another Thursday, another Walnut Creek night ride!

Troy and I met once again at the main parking lot. Started with the usual loop. It was friggin' chilly at first, but once I got warmed up I felt pretty good. Certainly rode a lot better than the week before, hopefully my mountain biking skills will be in good form for the upcoming Dirty Du season (I have a great challenge this season - Johnboy from Houston will be doing them too; I'm gonna kick his ass!).

About 45 minutes into the ride Troy's light went out, so we had to cut the workout short. It was quite the mess, getting back to the cars with one rider not having any light. At one point we were arguing over which way to go, and it turns out the parking lot was only 50 meters away, in a direction neither of us were pointing. Troy and I have been to Walnut Creek Park several hundred times between us, and we still get lost all the time. Such is the beauty of those trails!

After the ride it was off to Mickey's for a few beers. Quality pub. Don't tell Squeeze Box this, but they don't enforce the smoking ban there. In fact, one of the guys even had one of those mechanical voice things like Ned from South Park, and he was chain smoking! It was awesome! Character, that place definitely has it. There were no supermodels in short skirts, no bud light specials, no 136 foot plasma television screen for bandwagon Astros fans, but I'd rather spend time in Mickey's than any of those yuppie bars any day!

Too bad you were biking... your're girlfriend Stay Free was stressed that you weren't at the pub run. In fact the quote was "Why isn't Brownie here....how am I going to do this without him?" I had a tear in my eye...NOT!

Wussy anonymous posters.

How was the pub run? Where did it go? I didn't want to get wasted that close to Warda, so I opted to bike instead. I know, I'm a pussy.

Holy shit!! You finally admit the truth.

brownie said...

You are what you eat.

PS - Timmy is a cock!

Wow, my word verification is "jtsfu", as in jt, shut the fuck up! I'm sure it's talking about jug tugger.

Barbara said...

Guess Timmy and I are in the same boat.

Holy crap! Ask your girl friend Stayfree where it went. Hopefully, you won't have to hold his hand too much....wuss.

brownie said...

Hey, just 'cuz SFWW and I tag team your mom all the time doesn't make him my girlfriend! And we're not holding hands, we're high fiving.

Anonymous said...

That's what you call it "high fiving" you butt pirate.....
SFWW called it something else.

brownie said...

Grow some balls and tell us who you are, pussy anonymous chick!

You better not be talking about me being a bandwagon fan...I've been watching the 'Stros for years!!!

I will agree that Mickey's is a great place though...I mean, that place is the reason for half of my hash name. :)

brownie said...

I didn't know any Astros fans, 'till they made the WS. Then all of a sudden they're everywhere. Then they lose the series, and once again nobody gives a crapola. You'll notice I never quit wearing Pittsburgh stuff, good times or bad.

Was it the Ass half?

Denial Queen said...

You'd have to check with SFWW for the ass part. From what I hear he hasn't gotten enough lately...

dayoldfish said...

I agree Micky's is a great bar, especially when you ass is getting bit. Don't see why Brownie has a case of terets and said Timmy eats cock. I have no need to post anonymously, I show my contempt out right.

Denial Queen said...

its for enjoying the air of mystery,aggrevation and keeping all you pussies on your toes. Hail the wussy anonymous posters......

Gagger said...

I still wear my Astros attire as well!

Guess you don't recall the stories...the "Ass" part came from an evening at Mickey's. Just ask DOF!

Denial Queen said...

I know what Tourette's is but what is terets?

brownie said...

If you could read, you could see that I said "you are what you eat" and hence timmy is a cock since he swallows a lot of dick. I do agree with him, at least we stand behind what we say, not hide behind stupid nicknames. My guess is it's either Speedy or High Beams.

Barbara said...

Terets? I picture little bite sized chocolate treats..hmmm maybe I'm just hungry.

Denial Queen said...

hmmm...good guesses! Soon...grasshopper, soon.
I'm going to go and get some "terets" now...

brownie said...

Denial Queen is our own Speedie Edie. Who should be more worried about preparing for Sunmart...oh wait, you've already chickened out.

Denial Queen said...

chickened out? ha....whatever...you big wanker.
Nah, that;'s just not my style

brownie said...

You signed up for the event, signed up for a special training group for the event, then realized it was gonna be tough, and bailed. Not your style? Denial Queen is such a great name for you!

Denial Queen said...

I got a good laugh, thanks. Now, I know why SFWW is so attracted to you.....

Denial Queen said...

hmm...seem to have shut Brownie up for today.

brownie said...

What's with the SFWW thing today? Is he your new Bleeder?

Denial Queen said...

As if! No-one can ever replace Bleeder.

Denial Queen said...

Not like those poser girlfriends that come into town to hide the true passion between you and SFWW.

Barbara said...

Wow...this is the best reality show I've seen all day.

Denial Queen said...

Best reality show? Must be a very slow day then.

brownie said...

Speedy, don't you have some 5K to go train for with your buddies Brrr and Squeeze Box?

Denial Queen said...

Not unless you and your butt buddy come along so we can run away from you. Now that would be training.

brownie said...

Well, if it involves training, it's obviously nothing you'd want a part of.

Denial Queen said...

I don't need some organized ring-leader to over see my training. Running away from you is training enough!

Denial Queen said...

Seems like a low keo cult to me.

brownie said...

Hey now, don't be rippin' it just because you couldn't hack it!

Denial Queen said...

I can hack it, just been busy traveling. there's a difference.

brownie said...

Excuses are like assholes...

Denial Queen said...

you should know yours gets used quite frequently from what I hear.

brownie said...

Yeah, from all the cleveland steamers you've given me!

Rafael said...

Ned from Southpark! AWESOME!!

Denial Queen said...

Southpark is great.
