Damn, I wish this show was on US tv!

I went to the track race tonight.....

Balboa Park, San Diego

I was amazed, the stands were packed! There are races every Tuesday and I definitely need to go down there again. "Missin' Out" was the best spectator race. The rules are as follows; The pack rolls out after two or three laps, the last rider across the line s eliminated until there are only three riders. Then the last riders have two laps. It's exciting to see someone break ground and sprint to the line just so they won't get cut. I can see how it wouldn't be the best race for the riders but, it's a hoot for the spectators.

After the races we headed over to Lefty's Pizza (Authentic Chicago Style)
Three words:
PBR on Tap!

Enough said.

Have you seen my air guitar?

There are reviews a plenty on the way....

I have been testing several products over the past couple months that I need to review and update. Are they going to start now? Hell No, did you see what time it is? 11:46pm... sleep is in my future.

Tonight's ride was spectacular! It was a small group of three and when I say small I mean the other guys collectively did not weigh as much as me. Nice pace, not super fast, we didn't stop much and we all rode the same speed. Super. It was Double Double.

Road trip time!

Cinnamon Star and I are leaving for our adventure in four hours! We are driving the slow road and hope to be in SF by noon. The Spicy party is at 6pm so we will have some time to checkin to the hotel (The Mosser Hotel), ride the cruisers and get some coffee. As you guessed I will be riding the Javaboy.

It will be a short Road trip since CS has to be back Sunday morning but, fun will be had. Pictures will be posted....

Get your Doper's suck socks while they are hot!

Kenny finished 4th in RAAM Enduro!

11 days, 4 hours and 47 minutes of pure hell....

Congratulations Kenny! I am sure the race was much harder than you expected especially getting sick along the way. You pulled out an awe inspiring finish time.

Checkout the video's, pictures and stories from the race on Kenny's website;

Souza Power

Here is a classic clip....

Kenny is a stud! Catches a pneumonia, drops several places, takes a 7 hour break then an 11 hour break drops to 9th place, hammers up one of the hardest climbs and now he is back in fourth place 7 hours behind Tinker (That may sound like a lot of time but, in actuality it's not that bad).

Go Kenny! My prayers are with you....

Kenny is killing it right now! Early yesterday he was complaining of pneumonia symptoms. His crew forced him to take a longer stop to get some rest. He is back to Souza form his last Time station AVG speed was over 20mph!

Go Kenny!

ClifBar has some pretty good photo's fromRAAM up on flickr.

Kenny Souzas' RAAM

Kenny is looking strong on the second day of RAAM. He took a three hour nap and is holding fourth place. Checkout SouzaPower for live updates during the race. Also you can checkout the trailer to the documentary being filmed about Kenny.
