Back From Vacation

It has definitely been a while since my last post. I will blame this on finals, vacation, and possibly even my laziness. Finals went awesome and i am glad that is all over and that i will soon be a junior, but the best part is that i will get to really dive into my major next year. Now there is also a bad thing coming from school being over. My daily schedule of going to bed at a relatively decent time and working out every day is no more. This has made my strength on the bike suffer quite a bit. It also didn't help that i just got back from vacation in Ireland (wish i had brought my mtn bike, the place is awesome) and did not do anything but eat awesome food and see awesome places. Oh, did i mention that my first racer is Saturday and i got back yesterday? So i am both excited and in quite a bit of fear. But hey, whatch ya gonna do?

On another note, my father and i did the whole Teflon tape to the bottom bracket of my mtn bike so the stupid thing would stop squeaking. It was looking really good and i thought it would stop it for sure. Well, it didn't. It is much quieter but still quite annoying. I think there is one more thing we can do that they recommend. And it better work. I also installed the Token Titanium/Alloy Skewers. Stupid things don't work either. The front skewer loosens right up and falls out after no time at all. So frickin annoying. Whatever, i'll use them on my road bike.

Speaking of things with two wheels, i may or may not be picking up a Kawasaki KZ1000 on Saturday. This can neither be confirmed or denied at this time.

Whelp, that is all for now. Here's a sweet vid.
