Photo Cred: Double Hop

EFTA NECS #2 - Weeping Willow -
You're Making Me Cry

Most mornings when you see my post up at 6AM it's because I wrote it the night before and then scheduled it to post then...not this morning. I woke up at 3AM for no reason and wrote a race report for the Weeping Willow. It's a little extra-special.

Oh right, it's over on the 29er Crew Blog.

Double oh right, don't forget, it's the NEMBA "Follow Me" premiere at the Middlesex Lounge in Cambridge tonight.

Freaky Foto Friday Has Move
and We Have a WINNER!

They're over on the 29er Crew Blog today, the freaky fotos that aren't really so freaky given the week in fotos here at the Big Bikes. Got some nice shots of the BCT out in Concord/Acton on an impromptu mountain bike ride...on my cross bike. So go CHECK IT!

I call this piece "Naked Indurain With a Killer Whale"

We have a winner in the Figure Out What The Hell I was Thinking When I Created This Weird-Ass Photo-Montage Contest, it's....

Mike from Darkhorse Cycles!

He was the only person who deduced that the above image was inspired by The Red Hot Chili Peppers song: "Naked In The Rain," and the "Lyrics: "Naked in the rain with a killer whale."
You have no idea how good it felt to have someone else say the words which occur to me so readily when I hear that song. Have I ever told you about my Marvin Gaye Chapstick lyrics? Ah, but that's a long story and it will have to wait for another day.

What's important right now is that Mike gets a SingleSpeed-a-polooza themed "Mix Tape" as a reward for suffering from brain-deformities similar to my own. Or maybe it's that we share the all brown liquids and no sleep diet. Who knows.

Big T gets honorable mention and a consolation prize for these totally wrong but hilarious lyrics:

oh yeah... a-ha... oh yeah...
I'm sittin' on my couch...
a-ha.. oh yeah....
I'm holding a plush shark between my legs....
a-ha...oh yeah...
I'm naked cuz I just ate my nachos
a-ha....oh yeah... oh yeah.... a-ha.

Big T, send your address to thomp2000 at gmail dot com and you'll get a "Mix Tape" which you will probably hate an end up throwing at your cat. If you don't have a cat, I can send you one of those too.

And Endless Bikes gets a "Mix Tape" because Endless Bikes is awesome and might have gotten one anyway, just because.

Thanks for playing the Decipher What The Crap Was Going on In My Withering Brain When I Photo-Shopped This Bad Craziness Challenge.

P.S. - The totally-not-staged-I-swear crash photo is just for Rick. Hi Rick. That log big enough for ya?
