bike this bike that

I figure you may be wondering about the wave of bike posts the past few weeks. During my first year of law school, I maybe rode my bike a grand total of two times. Things got a little better the following summer. Things returned to their status quo of non-riding in my third semester. So what’s the deal with this semester? Well, first of all, I’m taking two less hours than I usually do and the classes aren’t quite as intensive. Call it a much needed “break” from law school, though I’m somehow still in school…

There is another reason, though. I was going to wait till the very last minute to spill the beans, but what the hell, I have zero willpower.

I’m going to visit my friend (posts here as ‘carrico’) and his wife in Denver in two weeks. I’ve known this joker known as Carrico since I was a college freshman. He rides mountain bikes and all sorts of other wheeled things – and he is much better at it than I am. He taught me a thing or two about how to not crash and burn on mountain bike trails.

Denver is basically located in the stratosphere compared to Houston, so there will be less air for me to breathe, and since I’ve been a slacker for almost two years, I need to get my ass into shape. Thus, the recent spate of mountain bike rides and cycling-related posts.

I’m flying up on a Friday and coming back on Tuesday. While I’m there, I’ll stop by and harass Heatherfeather. How could I come to Denver and not raise hell with Heather? Carrico, Mrs. Carrico, Heatherfeather, and the rest of Denver are totally unprepared for what is about to hit them in two weeks. The last time I visited a blogger I had never met in person it resulted in copious beer-consumption, wild music fests, late nights in strange places, barefoot kickball with punk-rock people with various piercings and colorful tattoos, sushi happy hours complete with funny hats, and an orange mustang convertible, among other things.

if you wanna come to prom, you can always be my second date! if not, no worries. :)

carrico:

we can have some playboys at the ready if needed... grad school prom? thats too bad. i was hoping you meant high school, which would have a much higher potential for entertainment value. "P-man returns to High School".

i'm flattered. someone thinks my site is important enough to leave spam here. i'd like to thank the academy, and my parents. thank you, thank you. h and c - i forgot about the alcohol predicament. i might have to get trashed, pass out, and get trashed again, all within the span of 60 minutes. i think i can do it. h - are you implying i should bring a suit with me?

because i'm insane, i read "playboy" and thought immediately "playstation" i'm too pure for my own good. grad school prom details to come in a bit. and unless things change drastically soon, i won't be able to afford a concert on the 9th. :(

wow, ---^ that was random. stupid internet and its spam abundance. myself and the wife are eagerly anticipating your arrival. not only that, but i have secured a bike for your time here. its not a full suspension, sorry... we have a friend from Austin in town all this week and its been getting harder and harder to make it into work each morning. too many mojitos last night at a cuban restaurant and 6:00 am came VERY early. Luckily, you will be here over a weekend so that should help matters... oh yeah, and heatherfeather's comment is defniitely right on -- you need to train for biking AND drinking, they'll both kick your ass up here. and we will be doing plenty of both... Did she say "prom"? I'm intrigued.

i hope you're also prepared for how much your alcohol tolerance will decrease at a mile above sea level. and how there's shitty coffee here. other than that, i'm TOTALLY psyched that you're coming! last chance for me to get you a prom ticket for friday the 7th is on monday. ;)

Do you acknowledge that this is correct time to receive the business loans, which can make your dreams come true.
