Straight Outta PROvo...

Blogging is so '06. Blog-quitting is this years' blogging.
I "Made" the Mop...

This has been the talk of the Utah riders for the whole tour... studying his pics, looking in the background for clues...So yeah, I didn't get to start on Saturday and I wasn't exactly crying in the struedel over it.  Anyway, I go up on top of the Alpine Loop to cheer for the boys.  When I get out of the car, this dude gets this total doodie-eatin' grin on his face, like he can barely keep himself from laughing.  I am about to ask if he is "The Mop",  but chicken out as I figure if I'm wrong, he'll think that is code like "wasps in the innertube" or worse some-kinda prison lingo.

Anyway, he has now copped to it on themopinator.blogspot.com, so I am positive I can pick him out of a line-up... hopefully it doesn't come to that.  Kidding, but seriously.  On the other hand, I think I am the only one who knows who he is, so I will keep it our little secret, at least until I need help with the computer or the garden or something.  hahaha.

Big thanks to all who came out and yelled for us at the race and especially for painting our names on the road.  That was pretty cool.  Sorry I sucked.  The circuit race was especially painful as when I am "on" that would be my style.  It was pretty embarassing, but like I said I appreciate everyone's support.

This thing (tOFu)  has the potential to go REALLY big, so keep supporting it in whatever way you can.

  You deserved the tag, I didn't think it would have been fair to have Slink-ed off, then hiked into the bushes and taken some photo's from there, that would have been creepy. I tried to convince you to move down the road....... But you weren't biting.
  And your memory will fade.......

  On another note... I actually emailed Burke and made sure that he was comfortable with it too. I would give it up if someone actually had some fear. That wouldn't be cool... The Mop is not into that. And I make a race or 2 as well, once in a while. And am a totally licenced rider.
  But next time when I'm chatting it up with JRad, You can be the one with the "poop eating Grin"
  There are a few other people who got close, and I'm going to post those photo's soon. Just hoping their memories will be more sketchy in a few days.

  I don't have any fear about not being anonymous. But it is more fun on all accounts, I hope. And Salsa for anyone who can get a photo.
   and maybe my motto should be the reverse of Lance, "It's not about me, it's about the Bike".

Yeah, but how does all this play into the conspiracy?

I took some cool pictures with the devil (yes, THE devil) at Snowbird. I was hoping have some made for you to take back to share with neighbors in happy valley. Alas, Friday night was hell enough for ya. I understand. BTW, I like your new tag line.
