Should i shave my legs for this ?

hey, dont knock it till you try it. anyone out there who lives in a chamois 4 to 7 days a week and doesnt use the razor hasnt tried it yet. im an ex- motocross racer, from the 80's no less, there was no way i was ever going to shave my legs for god sakes, but then i met this cool chick from boulder colorado who was a cat 3 road racer. now i was riding on the road and had raced a couple times on the bianchi i bought from " the bike nerd", but i was not going to shave my legs, im a man, hell im an ex-con, no one is going to turn me into a cherry. that was the thought process when i met jaime, we hit it off really well and ended up having a whirl wind of a fling, it was short lived but burned bright as a supernova. anyway, shaving legs became four play, i shaved her,( if you could see me right now, i have a shit eating grin plastered across my face) and she would shave me,(still smiling)yes even the fella's, well i gotta tell you its the only way to go and man do the bike chicks love it, you should all try it sometime!

ok, before this turns into a porn blog lets get to the ride today. when i first bought the ibis i did have some reservation, i mean damn, i spent 4 g's on the thing, i could have bought a full blown mountain race rig for that. it wasnt long after though that i fell in love with the silk, i put 4000 miles on him before three months had passed, i went to moab and did the lance armstrong century, i went to boulder and did the sunrise century, i went to st george and did the tour of st george and i went to vegas and did the tour of fire. i was eating 7000 foot climbing days for breakfast, immigration canyon, big mountain, east canyon, millcreek, big cottonwood canyon, little cottonwood canyon, traverse mountain, and the alpine loop through american fork canyon over the top to sundance then back, that particular road is featured in the tour of utah every year, i wish i had gps'ed the altitude i gained. now today i thanked the bike gods for the ibis silk, the yeti is down for the count at the moment, my fork is broken and i havent the funds to repair it, i want to go mountian biking so bad its affecting my sleep, but the road saves my sanity on days like this, i wouldnt trade the ibis for anything at this point. see not only do i live in one of the best mountain bike spots in maybe the world, but the road riding is just as epic. there is a climb up the north side of zion national park called "kolob terrace", its such a grind, 28 miles with 4800 feet of gain, now its not mount evans in colorado, it doesnt end at 14,000 plus, however youve never seen a road like this i promise. it goes in and out of the park and the road is paved red sandstone, it has some easier miles but then will swing up to well over 15% gradient, mount evans dont do that, , its another place i cant believe that a bike race has never been held.

black label society blasting on the ipod, the click of my pedals, the crisp clean air in my face, and we are off. no where really special today, took the bike path to bloomington, climbed the hill and started off for bluff street, stopped for a minute to visit the guys at red rock bicycles and then headed for the red cliffs. there is this little road that goes from st george blvd up to the red cliffs, now its short, maybe 2 k, but that motha is so fucking steep, someone measured it for me once, ( thanks dad ) and it goes to 21 % gradient right before the top, my fat ass had to stand on the pedals to get up it today. from there i just took the back way out to washington and then home. the ibis is a saviour these days cuz i dont know for sure when i will get my talas fixed, shit i havent even received my first unemployment check so i dont know what will happen. i do know that there is a kickass race coming up on presidents day at bootleg canyon and i won there last year so i must defend. looks like i will be begging quentin and dj for a bike to race when the time comes, hopefully they will read this and i wont have to ask........
