I'll decide, not you. Anyway, I'm getting pretty antsy about wanting to ride some dirt. There are a ... http://bikepeddlerutah.com/2010/02/jonesin/ Four days of laryngitis, a massive infection in my left ear(thank you prescription for Lortab), a tweaked back, and rampant case of trenchfoot.  All in all, it was a great Frozen Hog. I spent Friday before the race at Lambert, building the Taj Mahal of registration tents, which amazingly no one ... http://bikepeddlerutah.com/2010/02/frozen-hog-report/ Awhile back I made a bet with myself and anyone who would listen, that I would be at 180 lbs by Frozen Hog.  The wager: If not I would race the first lap in a Triathlon Speedo.

I had a brand new bike, with zero miles.  I headed down early to catch a ... http://bikepeddlerutah.com/2010/01/5th-annual-bike-peddler-spring-trip/ Yesterday was the 6th of January.  That means there is one month until the 8th Annual Frozen Hog.  After a little slacker time over Christmas and New Years, I've gotten back to race business this week.  With time growing short, I remembered that I had made a little personal goal ... http://bikepeddlerutah.com/2010/01/one-month-to-go/   With a nostalgic glance back I dug into my VHS collection this morning and watched this. It's the 1995 Greg Stump film(or half hour Specialized commercial if you prefer).  This was the year I bought my first mountain bike.  I mailed a check (which is a paper form authorizing people to ... http://bikepeddlerutah.com/2009/12/getting-medieval/ A thread over on UMB  got me thinking about this past year and all the cool people I've met,places I've ridden, and things I've done.  Plus it had been so long since I posted that Fofonov has started filling in for me.
