A Collection

Missing are 2005 and 2007, I've entered all 8 races but these years proved to be too much for me


Some people collect baseball cards or comic books. I have a nice collection of Arrowhead 135 trophies. This past week I received the plate with my name and time for this past years Arrowhead. The time on it is not much to brag about but I did get a trophy none the less. I don't like to brag, but these trophies are all I have been able to earn in recent years to prove that I still ride my bike and compete. I am now merely an over weight shell of the racer I used to be,still clinging to the astronomical hope of one day donning a DBD jersey. Hope..............
On a lighter note, I made this wonderful, completely burned hot dog for my kid who was so mad at me he threw it in the fire,that I cooked it on in the back yard.

  2. Do you have a fire pit in the kitchen? Confused...
    Such a poor showing grilling a dog might have further hindered your DBD chances. Concerned.

    2. DBD is a very prestigious cycling club in the northern wilds of Duluth Mn. DBD stands for Death Before Dishonor. The members are the toughest of the tough.I have yet to prove my mettle and join the ranks of this group of ruffians.
