Skeletal Weakness

Hello everyone welcome to Amber and Scott's new blog.
As you may have noticed our blog address is the bike couple. For the next few weeks, however, it may as well be titled: Amber and the guy who blows his f'ing back out picking up things like lint and empty ziploc sandwich bags.
Today was awesome; 70 something degrees, clear, and not a lick of wind. I stood in the garage watching Amber go through her normal pre-ride checks - air pressure, chain lube, spare tube, CO2, water. "Okay by. I should be back in a few hours. I'm just going to ride up to the top of peavine and then come down all the single track into Evans"

"Have fun" I thought to myself. "I am going to vacuum the living room and try not to lose bowel or bladder control when I sneeze". No I'm not bitter. After all I got in a great ride just the other day. It was a beautiful overcast day and a gentle 45 mph wind was ripping down the Bacon Strip as I crawled along in my 22-34. You know you're having a bad day when you're in the 22-34 and you aren't A) bonking and hopelessly lost somewhere near Bend OR, or B) experiencing mild anaphylaxis from being stung on the tongue by a bee (never wear a yellow helmet - you look like the pollen mother load).
Honestly I would loved to have ridden today, but there are problems that need solving...things like global warming and plummeting honey bee populations. I hope someone is working on those things because I don't really know anything about that stuff. Actually I didn't ride because I wrecked my back lifting a bag of dog food er...I mean doing squats.
How did this guy not poop doing this? I would love to see him try this after a strong cup of coffee. There is actually a tragic story associated with this photo. Kim Il Song, 27, was attempting a So. Korean national snatch record to earn himself a spot on the 2008 Olympic team when his right tibia shattered, peppering the front row of the audience with bone fragments killing 11 people.
