From Sandy (same name as my mom) Perrins: >So, I read your blog, and I couldn't figure out how to comment, but 2 things: >1. You mean after 1 season kinda, sorta off, nobody knows who I am anymore? Geez! Everyone knows who you are now because of my blog. Read More...
Allan Butler Crit
Wowie was it fun racing over the weekend. I really don't like the "off-season" one bit. I would prefer to just keep racing and have a week or two off here and there. Anyway, it was funny to watch guy who aren't fit try to race (including myself). Guys Read More...
DH Fansite, Pro?, y mas
Ooopsies- I just posted under Dave Harward's name...I didn't know I could do that. It really opens some weird doors. So I almost just changed the tagline on my blog to: "The Number 1 Dave Harward Stalking Site on the Net." But I thought that might freak Read More...

Ways That I Have Wasted Time Today
eriksaunders.com- Someone is posting under my initials and I don't like it. t-birdsroost.com- Nothing new there, but always worth checking. UCA group emails- Wash, rinse, repeat. Oh yeah, I got dressed to ride to the bus today, but then it was raining Read More...
Nicknames
Just read Dave Harwards' blog wherein he frets upon the lack of a nickname... Dude have one of mine: Turbo, RB, Nitro, Neat-row, Crazy Legs, Bird Man, Stork, Ree-on the Pee-on (or any combination of the above). Second thought none of those fit you. Just Read More...
