reminder.

just a reminder, wristbands are still available!

find me at a race, or head over to behind bars and pick one up after you are finished drooling on the super sweet line of steel masi bikes! (i like the cx bike...)

there is no set price, it's a sliding scale donation. pay what you think it's worth to help out jason.
100% goes to him.

and he needs it. in addition to his stupid expensive medical bills, he just won't stop breaking shit.

all the local races are "c".

not monday, but who cares?

defacto video monday. it's too serious around here.

holy crap.

this is what i woke up to at about 3am last night.
smokey, sirens, lights, the whole nine.

it was the neighbors house, but at the time i didn't know. i thought it was our house.
i herded up the pets and ran outside. left all my shit.
clothes, bikes, everything. pretty much expecting to lose it all.

once outside, it became clear that it was the neighbors house, but we weren't out of it yet, it was burning up pretty close to ours, and could potentially make the gap. there was a tree right between that would make it easy for the fire to bridge across.

MFD was amazing. watching them work up close like that was crazy. they were all business, and really got the blaze under control quick without acting crazy or freaking out all of us from the houses.
i was looking for casper and linda, didn't see them. i didn't want to ask since i figured the firefighters had more important issues to deal with.
about 5am i was able to go back in our place, which survived just fine- just a little smokey.

suffice to say, it was very difficult to get back to sleep.
