Utter Thomination Of Otis AFB And The Rock

Somehow, throughout the course of my longer-than-I-care-to-think-about life, no one had ever struck upon the magnificently clever artifice of replacing the "dom" part of a word with "Thom." That was until this past Saturday when I went for another ride at Otis Air Force Base with a posse of fit racer types who nearly rode me to death like I was a pony at a birthday party for clinically obese octuplets. I was completely shelled and Results Rooter, taking pity on me, decided to take us down a technical trail so I wouldn't get so horribly dropped. He said "We're gonna do that techy trail again so Thom can dominate it." And, come to think of it, I guess it was me who said "Nah dude, I'm gonna Thominate it." Wow, I thought, no one's ever gone there...what are the possibilities? All we could come up with in the following minutes were "Thominatrix" and "Thom Deluise." But the second one doesn't really count. I can't even think of any now...oh wait: athomination. Different switcheroo, same idea. Come on, whaddayagot? Let's hear it.

Local Warming

This isn't a real Big Bikes post, I'm just half-assedly setting the pick in hopes that I can break out of this paralyzing case of blogger's block I've been suffering from for the past couple months and actually do something over here.

Yesterday I met up with a big group of folks to ride Otis Air Force Base down on the Cape. I cannot remember the last time I got so shelled on a group ride. 

I upgraded to the new Blogger editor, and while it is kinda buggy and weird (cursors disappear, text gets linked for no apparent reason) it does have a few sweet features. My favorites being the photo uploader that allows you to upload as many photos as you want all at once. You used to have to upload five at a time. This still beat Wordpress. With Wordpress you have to upload one photo at a time and it is not a streamlined process. This sucks when I have to say, do a BikeRumor post that requires a bunch of photos. Another sweet feature is the insert jumpbreak function. Now I can be all AHTBM and do a "read more" type thingy. Sorta like this:

The rest of the sequence of Will Crissman riding the most insane stunt at Otis AFB after the break. Does he crash because his cell phone went off in his pocket just as he was at the most deadly point? Do rabid coyotes burst forth from the bushes and eat him alive, soft bits first? I don't know, you'll just have to jump past the break to find out.
