Updates (‘Bout Time Huh)

For the past week or so I’ve been meaning to posting some really great updates for everyone, but I’ve recently come down with a nasty throat infection, work’s been hectic and on top of all that… oh, wait- I keep forgetting, this is NOT about me.
Oh well, back to “Mr. Steal the Spotlight” (really, admit it, you folks would much rather hear about my flemmy throat).

So, to the updates-

First off, for a full itinerary of the ride, along with an overview of the riders, click HERE.

Along with some other great people, Rob has been riding with a fella who goes by the name of Dave- Dave Roark. Dave is a photographer for Disney, so needless to say he and his gazillion dollar camera is doing a little better than Rob and his- oh well, does it really matter what he has?
Anyhoo, in addition to a great camera and some corresponding talent, Dave must have some sort of access to one of them computer thingies. He’s got himself a pretty nifty blog and on the days we can’t keep up with our boy directly, we can all visit Dave’s page. Click HERE to check it out (trust me, it’s worth it).

And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for…… the pictures. Yup, all complete with the patented Kirk Maroscher, smart-alec (for lack of anther censored term) comments that vainly attempt a snicker of enjoyment from you.

So without further ado…

Rob's the one in the middle. Soon after this picture was taken he started spinning very quickly, sending the other two riders into the air in a beautiful wind ballet.

Some might find this long, straight road rather boring, but trust me; to cyclists it’s like heaven on earth (only with more chaffing).

Um, that question you were asking yourself... well, now you know.

That’s Rob on the bottom, left. Here he can be seen approaching a stoplight. Ohhh, ahhhh, a stoplight, gasp. (OK, that’s just me using sarcasm to mask my jealousy.)

Some very amazing switchbacks. All kidding aside, as someone who knows a little about this, these particular roads fill me with both wonderment and extreme terror. I couldn’t fathom riding those, but it sure would be great to do it. This, by the way, is why our buddy trained like a man obsessed (which of course he is).

Did y’all know that Rob’s breakdancing name was Slide Roc? Boy oh boy- that Jess is one lucky lady (he’s like this ALL the time).

…and one for the family, the loved ones, and all the friends.

Back wheel in the Pacific.
