"your bike sucks"

its coming out today.. the trainer. this is the time of year when that becomes the way. and commuting. just noticed that my pearl road shoes are 38 where as my sidi's are 40s odd. anyways here i go slowly walking closer into hell. damnit. hope my swobo mtn shorts come soon!

treat.

i got something good today.

but im not going to say.

passing afternoon.

getting excited. lets just say there is going to be a specific "bike" room. and seattle is a forsure. family fun just got crazier. could that be?

kill that shit.

i had a dream last night. first off we just got four gf. ferris 2-29er, 2-26er. i had a dream that i was riding the 17.5 and thinking man this fits perfectly. and i was riding over all this shit. then i only remember that that was a dream when i am looking up the voodoo cycle dosniner.. and remember i am a small 15-16. damnit. i love and hate dreams.

my new love, soon to be placed upon my voodoo.




early christmas.
i think i am rolling out the trainer.
im antsy.

alter.

today i got home from an early christmas celebration, simply because we were too antsy to wait. AMAZING gifts giving to this little lass. i got home rather bored. i altered a pair of pants that had a wicked flare that i hated. now i love them. wearing my new threads. house showing. baking for the holidays. and all the glory in between. maybe go run or bike. we shall see. i got my first king head set, sad to be the first but now it will become a lovely addiction.
going to have a rant soon on how we are adapting to a certain unfortunate way of life. i need to take a picture first.

the pay off of bliss.

okay so... when you get an A in a class you absolutely love and truly worked your ass off in, it is probably the best damn feeling in the world.

do what you love.

little miss sunshine.

rumor has it trek employees are trying to beat this guy....



lately i have been extremely optimistic. i am now done with two of my four courses. will be done tomorrow. crits went well. i am cold. have to study. already turned in my g.d. portfolio. wrote my 6 page paper. have no food in the house. craving hummus really badly. (roasted red pepper). eager to start to become a power house. and kill the machine. anchors aways.

there are moments when your spontaneity takes over with a gust that hits you hard.
this is my gust.

this little boy likes to make growling noises and hiss at her.

however i know tazo loves sacha.

creating. kicks me.

here is a little sneak peak.




here is a little sneak peak.
so today i am in my graphic design course. creating. a website. rad. you think to yourself. i do too. until shit starts to get messed up and is kicking me right in the cabasa. i love this thing i do called graffic dezine, however i sometimes want to kick it right back in the head. okay i have to recreate my shit.

thoughts on machine

i have decided why wisconsin bikers kick ass...
we have wicked winters and during this time we still work. (probably at one of the many bike stores)
causing us to make bicycles stellar machines to take on anything.
we make out summer bike(s) more superb then they were the previous summer.
and the one thing that never dies
WE still ride all year all the time no matter the conditions.
cause we have a passion like no other.
a salute to
you, us, we, wisconsin bicycle riders/lovers.

count. #######

bikes. lots of bikes. more bikes coming my way... today i added a bridgestone to my collection.

GETTING-voodoo twoniner. -feb. CANNOT wait-literally-.

today was an adventure. drove from appleton to my cabin in WI rapids. then got tazo drove to minneapolis. about three hours into it my mom realized that we dont have any keys to get into our house! hott damn. so we get here about 3 finally get in our house a little after 5. SUCKed. now we are finally in our warm house where tazo is terrified. one thrashed door handle, one scared cat, two some what cranky ladies, a warm house, and not too much food.

ton of crazy things coming for this family in the near future that i am SUPER stoked about i wish it was tomorrow... however i cannot say a word, i am sworn to secrecy!

and i found out today that two of my friends that are lovers are getting married this summer.
the holidays make for a crazy time. that is forsure!

we care a lot.

these are just some of the pics taken by the

james

lalonde.. of the crazinesssssss.










check his shit out

beer. horns. and cross.

what more could a girl ask for?

seriously. rode up with marko, jesse, griff, jenessa-spell?... and got there to catch the cat four mens race. the stars and hearts were swarming all over the place. even though i am sick, i can still be one hell of a super fan. there was a crazy crew today of fans which made it extremely wild. -it was actually a rowdy-ER crew then the mpls last weekend. some new comers came... a new jonny cycles cross bike ridden by zach. i am going to steal it.james lalonde, papa lalonde both made an appearance! took some photos. then came more beers in the belly and wow was i feeling pretttttttty good, you could say. ha. mark handed me his water bottle to do a hand out and i told him that it would probably be better if someone else did that for him. i recruited another less beerfilled person to do that job. MY job for the race was to blow a french horn, holy shit did i love doing that! and i also am proud to say i handed out a miller. ha while blowing the horn, holy shit. TALENT. marko was just spinnin his arse off and it really paid off, he bruised his ribs or something, which i then tried to hug-my bad.-beer-. he was getting all stoked up from the crowd screaming and ringing their bells and the hoooooooooorn. marko knifed this race with getting a 5th, and a metal. SO PROUD.

quote of the day said to me...

"your horn was magical"....

me-"i did it for everyone, not just the riders!"

bikes bikes and more bikes. where to put them all.

awaiting the arrival of the voodoo 16inch frame twoniner in the lovely green. seems to not come quick enough. realized i may need yet another bike to more properly fit my new paul rack. on the tour right now but a little cluttered, with the handle bars and such. maybe i will be the inexpensive bianchi single cross bike and turn it into my ultimate commuter. with the the lovely flat bars or marys and my paul rack. just found out yesterday that i have walking pneumonia or bronchitis. and have really for a month now. SHIT. my first thought, man i could have done better in racing with out this shit. NEXT YEEEEARRR. i am looking to do wors next year to kill my bike in other ways and myself really. so we shall see. it is all up to BTI to get those bitches in then under my ass. got a nurse shirt SJ style for about then bucks, on sale of course, but nonetheless beautiful. and An ANCHOR.
anchors away. meghan. if anyone knows status on voodoo let me know.

labor day cures.

this is why i love camping with my family ever single labor day weekend. youll see what i mean....

emer'gen-C action

today was a better day then yesterday. (even though i made killer lasagna yesterday) but i am feeling sicker. at work there was some chemical sprayed awhile ago and ever since my lungs have been full of lovely shat. now it seems to be heading into a head cold. so i am sucking the emergenc down in a BKB bottle. just like when i was a young lass? anyway made stretchers for my canvas- super stoked about this painting... took awhile. trying to figure out school and just how much i have left. less the better. got my swobo tshirt and paul rack in the mail, have yet to attach but after this week i shall have enough time for that. waiting for the voodoo to be ready to be loved by this lady. green=goddess. hope that i feel up to par for this weekend, but other things are also a factor- besides my health. turkey day is a coming. anchors away. meghan

bleeding mascara.

minneapolis this weekend. when driving up to mpls mark and i got stuck at a stand still for two hours. got interesting at the end cause we were getting antsy and hungry-ER. so a trip that takes about four hours took approx too long. when we got there all was good. the race was the next day i started at 12:00 which is later then normal, which i liked a lot. they had the MENs cat 4/5 and the juniors went a minute before us ladies, so essentially we were all riding at the same time. hopping on was good, barriers were fine, even the big hill was alright, it was the mass amount of stairs that kicked my ass. i felt like crap the entire race. i didnt get the best start because i was a little hesitant about what was going on. took off did fine killed the barriers, hill good i ran up it, because i could run faster up it then people were riding. lots of turns and dirtish/sand. bit twice in the same spot, messed up my knee a little-some blood, i liked going through the single track im better at that then grass riding. kept going some girl bit or messed up at a set of barriers and i was right behind her and nailed her bike. haha. then i was going up the slower climb near the start and some guy decided to fix his bike at a diagnol right in the middle so i started being like get the hell outta the way! rar. the last lap came i caught a girl at the very end, she decided to ride the hill and i gave it all i had left and ran up and out sprinted her to gain on more place ahead. still havent dropped outta a race yet. even though i thought this one was going to be my first. i ended up with 8th place. which isnt horrible, but i wish i did better. of course. then markos race came at a little after 2. him and jesse were pounding away, it was hard to get ahead at the start line but soon mark made his way up the line and was looking really fucking good he was cranking on that bike of his. amanda and i were being the boys water supply, which was good. jesse felt like ass and decided to stop after about 5ish laps around there. mind you that they did about 3-4 laps and heard 9 more to GO. HOLY SHIT. anyways. marko killed it. it was a really fun course to watch. and ride for that matter. we left before marks results were up to see how he did. i think he kill it.

more on this later with pictures and marks placing.

i scream for the ones i love.

so heading out to minneapobliss this morning with marko. to stay at my parents place and then go and kick some ass at the minneasota cross champ. course. it is a pretty radical course, with stairs, water, mud, all the glory of cross that i hoped for! super excited for the challenge! its supposed to be snowing today so the drive to mpls will be an interesting one. jesse will be there, and i hear the djonn will also be there, super cool. there will be the bkb in full stride, at least a little part of it. anyways if you will be there see you then, otherwise good luck to all the people racing this weekend in good ol wisconnie.
(even though i am dissapointed at wi at the moment)


CHEERS to YOU AND YOUR BIKE!

road rage.

maybe it is because its voting day or maybe because women that are old and bitter love their cars. or maybe its just really the car it self. but road rage has been had at 8:30 this morning already. kind of makes me feel alive. i didnt really even do anything wrong. i just saw that there were no cars coming and decided to half ass my stop and then turn and go in to the bike lane. i didnt cut her off at all. she bitches at the dude biking. then i hear him bitch at her, it made me smile. then she came up next to me and was cussing but she didnt have her window down. fortunately it was warmer out today so i wasnt wearing my lobster gloves. so i started bluntly saying FUCK YOU, with my middle finger up. then she flicked me off and i just kept going then she got a little scared and turned quickly as she saw me coming up closer to her. hahaha


I HATE FUCKING CARS.

VOTE PLEASE!

PLEASE GO OUT TOMORROW AND VOTE. A FAIR WISCONSIN VOTES NO. DO YOUR PART! MWAH.

if you dont tazo may have to eat you!

creating yourself.

race in mke. woke up thought that it was raining. but was surprised by the nice weather. got all ready followed d-rukus to the race. kirsten came with me, and it was her first race she has been to. she took some nice pics. got there about nine oclock pre road the course with zack and luke. pretty rad course. lots of barriers one pretty steep but short hill to run up with a nice log at the bottom to ensure that. put on the cream. registered. got dressed in shorts and wool jersey. i thought it was going to be a lot warmer so i didnt bring warm weather clothing. nice one. anyways cat fours went john fucked up his chain. lyle looked good as well as d rukus. he had some issues with running into someone that stopped in the middle to fuck with something. then i road around a bit. to warm up. then my turn. go i was in about the first three and actually for the first time kept the momentum going. there were a lot of turns and flat areas. my favorite spot was in the woods the single track and muddy stuff. (if you can call that single track i guess) kept going. felt as i was bonking and wanted to just say hell with it, then i saw only one lap left... okay screw it i am doing well. kept on hammering. excited because i nailed my mounts and dismounts. i actually was jumping on like all the boys do, real proud! thanks to kirsten for coming, luke for the handout of liquids, and all the people cheering for me! it really gets me going!

to a super rad day... oh i forgot to say, i got 5th place, with some confusion that luke and kirsten thought 4th. ahh whatcha gonna do.

cheers to a beautiful day full of organic food, bikes, bike love, and sunshine.

love it.

triathlon poo.

an athletic contest consisting of three different events, typically swimming, cycling, and long-distance running. we have far too much of this shit at our store. at the good ol machinery row store we are moving everything around. meaning me. ha. or i have done quite a bit of it. anyways. its been fun cause now i want to get way more bike stuff which sucks. money wise at least. getting a new rear rack for the 5twenty. and some other shat. i helped this morning with the parking of cars for the football game. left other work early to do art work. which i am slacking on doing. BALLS. hoping mark did well or is currently doing well at iceman. i love how i get really into one bike then it goes over to another. i think i just like bike projects. fun fun fun! i saw three guys come in today with thrashed mountain bikes full of mud. it made me happy and now i wish that the voodoo frame was ready for my loving. but it isnt in yet. AHHH greeeeen machine -really fitting for me-naturally. need to purchase a few king headsets, thomson seat post, need new spokes for my touring bike wheels. i cannot wait for something i just bought because it is going to be absolutely beautiful. bike stuff is the best stuff.

I LOVE BIKE LOVE.

enough rambling about bikes.

(never enough)

race tomorrow-feeling rather shitty-so we shall see how things go... i hope alright at least. i am excited for a burn. kir kir may come with me so that would be a lot of fun!

if you will be there see you tomorrow.

then off to minneap with marko to stay at my rents and then race- can it get any better?

screw the liver.

today i got my 520 put back together, due to lending out the tubes in my tire to let a diana have them so we could go riding. went all over the place. i am actually happy that my car is kind of never leaving the area-cause its such a hassle-. went to grocery store. bank. all that fun stuff. suited up in my amfib gear. wool this wool that. crazy looks as i didnt bother to take off my helmet while running in because i was so comfy in it. felt good to be on that steel machine again. i really love that bike. cant wait. utilitarian is in my near focus of this year. oh to make it without my car! class. alright. went over to D&Ds house for homemade meal. so tasty. had homemade lasagna, bread with brie cheese ♥, salad, gladiator cycles wine on my part- of course, and to top it off homemade pumpkin pie with homemade whip cream. hott damn. tonight was fantastic. now i am home. full and tired as ever from biking and eating.
i bought tazo organic cat food cause he is a stud. period.

where does your soul preside on your body. if your arm got cut off would you still be you. what about your legs if you lost your legs would you still be you?

robots love too.

sandpaper silk and chainsaw.

sometimes you get those little fires burning inside you and you want to just kick someone in the face. politics are in the near future and i hope that you all get out there and vote. i am hoping for no more dissapointments like the 2004 election. been kicking my butt this week with working out. its been good though. i love the feeling when you try to get up but fall down due to your legs just not working right. just bought something new that i am really excited about. utilitarian comes to mind. but i dont know if i am going to give it as a gift or for myself. i just dont know yet. badger prairie tomorrow, or running all around town for groceries and tazos food.bank.and such. race this weekend in mke. then minneapolis then next weekend for a cross race there. going with marko. gnarly. missed motab cause.yes.i was too cold. i know. pussy. if there are any bitches like on jesses blog that want to comment on my page i am ready for a little fight. bring it you turd.

i just get politically excited and i made a piece full of clashing points and uncomfortable subject matter. i love getting a kick outta people.

these are the things that make us live a little longer and fuller.

love your bike. thrash yourself. fight.

once pure.

last weekend. pics.
this weekend. i missed out on the race in mke. i decided to stay in minneapolis since it has been a long time since i had some sort of a break. it was nice. however. i feel that i am missing my biking love. tazo got sick since i was gone. i wish that didnt happen. this weekend will be rather uneventful as mark will be doing iceman which is super rad and i hope he kills the shit outta this race, for reasons i know. also i just want to be ready for this coming up race. i got shit in last week for biking which didnt help me out. i am going to work out with evie and bike the other days. with taking off friday and sat for just my normal commuting biking. hopefully that will help me out with biking instead of one decent ride then a race. just imagine. ha.
tea bought tea had. tea love. by the way it is beautiful outside today makes me real happy! enjoy it all. kill it. meghan♥

morning started at marks. changed. art picks us up. go out to the race. go drop off keys for arts girlfriend. go to the race again. get there. it what you would say to be fucking freezing in my mind. wet cold-love. start to try to warm up. failed. watch the cat4 mens a little. john, art, lyle, derek, and more did a great job. looked to be a very sloppy muddy course. then were up. all the ladies and younger people were pretty much shaking cause of the cold. go. we start i am with the first three. kind of back off a little. not much. hit the wicked mud. actually do better then i thought i was going to. saw a ton of girls slip out and almost bite hard. keep going strong. keep it up in parts i was pretty much just spinning and not moving due to the mud. passed a few. noticed i am in the top half forsure. normally though i ride by myself. cant see anyone behind me... and can here and there spot the ones infront of me. so i am pleased. thinking to myself. fuck yeah i feel great.... i think i swear if i get a flat i am riding in on my rim. i dont give a shit. i was deteremined. i love this race. it was more of a mountain bike race... which makes me super stoked in the sense that i am looking to get a new mountain bike. and my lovely mark is helping out. i keep going bike full of mud. and smiling and yelling with people. i grab my first water bottle hand out from mark successfully. stoked again. get done. i finished with a 6th place. super happy. in love with biking even more. continued to watch the cat3 mens and wmns. where dave, erik, slite white, casey raced and did good some issues arose but did good none the less. then catched kristin kill it in the 1&2 wmns. renee looked good out there. then watched mark. jesse. luke. kevin. and so on.. mark and jesse were in the front doing really fucking good. then went to the 5-9 places. through out the race, marko was infront of jesse almost the whole race. both of the lalonde brothers bit it quite nicely. theyre studs they can do that sort of things. anywaYS. good day. i had A LOT of fun. and this only motivates me more to buy my mountain bike and get really into it! AHH yes. pics up soon.

burrito moes. cross race. i drove up with the lovely jenna. who is my sister without actaully being it. left about 8ish. followed the rukus and slight white. got there. fuck. forgot my license number... still let us race! rad. the cat 4 mens ran longer then thought. and so there was confusion of the start for juniors and cat 4 women. figured it out. started steady thinking that hopefully i will have the energy in the end to kill it. kept up and rolled. almost nailed some girls that were walking across the course right at the end when i was sprinting. not cool. but then sprinted. got 10th. i yelled if jenna could throw her water bottle cause i was dying. i have concluded that i have sports induced asthma. FUCK. had it for about 9 year all through hockey, thought i grew out of it-which is normal. but i was kidding myself. ahh well, hopefully tackle that little problem. stoked for this coming weekend. hopefully i will actually get some riding in so my legs dont kill.

shit stroll

today i went in to meet with the lady i sold the pilot 5.2 to. she was full of smiles and saying i want my bike just like meghans. which cracked me up. i told her to get a diff. saddle. yadayada. she then presumes to talk to me saying that she can tell that i really love bikes. i smile. she then tells me that when they first walked in and i was the first one to approach them that they were a little skeptical. i laughed. then she said that when they drove away they all decided that i was perfect for them and that i did a great job. i didnt know if i should have taken that good or bad... just made me think. and then i thought who gives a fuck. i do my job as best i can, if the little red headed tattooed gurl scares you i probably dont want to work with you cause you are too fing conservative. which brings me to another point. i made a new friend today. she is super rad. we literally talked about everything. politics. when i swear someone lit a fire cracker up my ass cause i get so routy when i talk about poli. anyways i like my new friend. she is like me where we arent going to school to be in college. where we drink and fuck. that is a bit harsh so sorry. there is more to life for me like bikes. ah ha. damnit i really love them.

and to end my somewhat pointless stories and tangents.

i bought pirate socks. they have a hott pink skull on them. and then pink camo. and some EVIL.

chamois.

got in a nice ride today at badger prairie. did a few laps with Diana. super rad gurlie i work with. we get there and there happens to be a slu of people there. crazy so i was teaching her some little things i have picked up recentley and she caught on quickly. super rad. then we listened to what the guys were saying and those definitely are going to help at the next race or break my ankle so we will see what happens. ha. otherwise. shower, paint paint paints. covering me. and it normally doesnt matter except i am using oils. hmm. have i mentioned i fucking love oil paint far superior to my other acrylic. talking to mark. back to paints. fuck. when will this thing called school be over?

i love assos.

oo exciting i saw renee, and a bunch of others and i just love biking. cause its fun!!

chaotic.! love. die.

the irony in this day the 7th of october is just enough to almost take someone down. and it most certainly did. wake up happy. bike. thoughts about a friend worry-some. shit. i forgot my phone. missed call. call. tears and questions stabbed all over her and my heart. i try to help as best i can but i dont know her feeling i only fear it. i tell her i will come and call in sick for work. no. run to the bank. run to wholefoods-wholepaycheck.howeveristilladorethatplace. run to work. big smiles for many reasons a heart that worries for a soulmate. day. call. tears. day. laughs. rediculous sounds. laugh. crawling. beautiful day. bike sold. one down. day. bike sold pilot 5.2 oclv. word. huge sale. huge smile on owners face. makes me feel real good. energetic. ride a orbea fall in love with an orbea. want an orbea. sell the madone? yes. stay late. need $$$$$$$$$$$$. go to target. presents. but not. come home. find a stray cat. thought of having tazo and . would be kind of fun, but he seems kind of crazy. kind of want him/her though. hmmm. 40 year old virgin. laughs. have to make dinner. damnit. one year. rad. rad!

being alive priceless. going for a bike ride with diana. excited for. kissing little tazo. second nature. love. always.

a day that took my breath away.

2.

become one giant smile. that pours light to everyone around. tickle. a beat that continues steady. butterflies still dance. someone that makes my thoughts fly rapidly through the air. makes my heart beat in ways no one has ever known. someone that makes me love like i never knew i could. a vision that only our minds can create because to intense to draw or paint. words try to find there way into a hand into a pen onto a paper. but it never fully justifies the true sense. the leaves dance. the love flows. and my heart keeps beating more in irregular patterns. this is something i only dreamt of.

get out there and ride. meghan


ooo and another arkel pannier.

in the devils playground.

what is a gurl to do when pissed at the numerous amount of stress brought on by her studios. swear. and
work on her bikes.

i decided to work on my wine machine. (its the color of a nice cab.) my trek 520.
i put new skewers on it so people cant jack my wheels as easy. then i polished it real nice, changed the seat post and saddle. starting to recharge the lights my lover gave me. put different pedals on it. make sure the misfits are playing then the slits.root beer. adobe. adobe. adobe. hott pink tank hair pin.

in life we are faced with many many many stressors. i choose to get lost in other things such as my bikes. whatever your pleasure, there is a way.

the good things in life are what make us love. the hard things in life makes us fight and LIVE.

i may pass.

kill it. meghan

i think i am going to start yoga again i need a release.

badger cross

first cross race. at that first race ever. got out there about 9ish. i was a little excited knowing that my race started at about 10:45. saw a few people that i know. registered. rode the loop just to see if it changed much. felt kind of shitty after that even.
more and more peole came. lots of people from the store i work atmachinery row bicycles. chris, derek, lyle, and more started in the cat 4 mens at ten. started good. looked like it was kicking their ass.
butterflies started to spin and dance in me. bikes around, i got the comment.... you are a mountain biker arent you... ? my response "no but i want to be." we lined up. i was in front and nervous as fuck. evie and i were right next to each other. she said just start off good. so that was the last thought i had in my head before i heard the whistle. i exploded like a bullet with all the nerves and excitment. i literally killed it. i was in the lead by a pretty good distance then a little guy passed me at the volley ball court. i had an alright time with the mounting and dismounting. then people started to gain and i was probably at about 6th place for the first few laps. then i kept loosing my strength and they gained. with my tire pressure where it was i struggled at the road riding. i bit in the volley ball court when i thought i could ride through it. not a good call. but i finished and had fun. my mom and many were there cheering me on. thanks marko for the water, mom for coming. everyone else for the screaming vulgar things. that always helps.

sorry for my sailors mouth if i swore in front of little ones while riding. when i am in the zone i am in it. good job to luke in cat 2 john and dave in cat3,kristin in cat1 women for killing them. renee in cat 1&2 jesse and MarKO in cat 2 way to get paid for the thing you love. AND A HUGE thanks to RENEE for setting up the rad course and giving me a pint glass. you know i love the free things in life.
kill it and ride. meghan
