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!

    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.

  11. 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. :)

  12. 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?

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

    ReplyDelete
  14. 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.

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

  16. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  17. I know what Tourette's is but what is terets?

    ReplyDelete
  18. 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.

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

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  23. 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!

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  27. As if! No-one can ever replace Bleeder.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  35. Seems like a low keo cult to me.

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

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

  38. Excuses are like assholes...
