Dakota 5o

I didn't even consider racing the the 5o this year. I'm in decent shape, but no where near good enough condition to have fun riding that race. I emphasize have fun. Ive done alot of traveling this year but for various reasons I wasnt able to have fun or relax on any of the trips Ive taken in 2009. Traveling while collecting unemployment checks is about the best thing you can do while unemployed, but each trip was a temporary escape from impending doom back in Nebraska. With my employment situation finally resolved, I was able to relax and and enjoy the biking, hiking, fishing, drinking, and eating in Spearfish. FYI you gotta ride the Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway. 30 mph hairpin turns on a Long Haul Trucker is a good fucking time on bicycle. Speaking of employment, the new job with the city is pretty cool. All you need to know is Friday I got to listen to a bearded lady complain to a 911 operator about what an asshole I am. No joke, it was absolutely one of the more awesome things to ever happen to me. GIS can be a hazardous business.
