back in the saddle again

man, a lot has gone on since my last post. I got a new bike. 2 Technically. I started Thai Boxing again. I say again because i have taken kickboxing lessons in the past, however, this time, im taking actual Muay Thai, from real life Siamese Twins.

The new bike came from Waltworks. Bike is sweet. Somehow i forgot to tell Walt to put a braze on for the front derailleur, so i have to use an adapter, which is lamesville, however, it still weighs in astoundingly below what i expected. So pumped. I'd be a little more pumped if i was totally healthy for the first rides. Still getting rid of the last of my bronchitis.

Got a single speed from Tom Kessler my KHS rep. Dude is rad, and i noticed that KHS made steel singlespeed rigid 29ers last year, but not this year. Hey Tom, what are the chances you have any from last year on closeout. Pretty freaking good actually, and for a price i couldn't possibly say no too.

Now when i say that my coaches are siamese twins, i don't mean conjoined you ignorant bastards, i mean they are from siam, or modern day thailand. They immigrated here from thailand at the age of 17. Both of them Thai champions in their weight classes by the time they set foot on american soil. They are unlike any other workout i have recieved in martial arts. Completely different.

here's where i am now...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIzvHYWGvY4
