Shave that!

Last week, my hair started to fall out in handfuls which led me to shave my head in a pre-emptive strike against fate. Then I found a picture of my nemesis. Gotta love those wookies, right?

Damn

Wishing LA a speedy recovery!

Cancer

I want to say a huge "THANK YOU" to all my friends and family that have stepped up to help out during the last few months.

I've been very private about what has happened, but realize that it isn't exactly fair to people that have been close to me. I kind of just disappeared and left some people wondering, "what the hell happened to B?"

Without going into too much detail I will just say that I was diagnosed with cancer in January and have been undergoing treatment. I hope to return to racing and leading Team Integrate later in the year, but for now, I will be concentrating on getting well and taking care of my family.

TFW has been a great way for me to let my goofy-ass side to run around free. I have the feeling I'll be needing that kind of outlet over the next couple of months.

Again, thanks for all your support and being understanding as I took some time to collect myself.

Thanks for reading. Check back for more TFW foolishness soon!

In Dog We Trust

This video is heartbreaking at first and then amazingly heart warming. This dog is amazing.

The Busy Beaver

You know that feeling when you've got a lot of sh!t going on? You know, you're getting things done, but the inbox is still pretty full. And then, it dawns on you that you accomplished some cool things? I've had one of those weeks.

My life gets pretty full. Single dad of 5 daughters, a sick mom that lives with me a house full of cats, this love affair with my bike, running a team, chilling with sponsors, watching cartoons, playing video games.... you know... LIFE.

Well, I was strolling through Costco on one of my feminine hygene product runs that is just short of a full on military resupply effort in Falluja (you'd be amazed at the savings of buying tampons and pads by the pallet!).

Then it struck me... we've got a cool ass team project setup for next year. That is something that I am damn proud of. By no means was this a one man show. I had help from a bunch of great people.

Seeing what we've been able to accomplish in just a few short months made me proud to be part of Team Fremont.

I'll make an "official" press release soon, but for now, I can tell you this;

2009 will see
GREAT new sponsors
A new Women's Team
3 New races and a returning favorite
A sharp new kit
And a community program that will see Fremont area kids getting the hookup on lids and safe ways to get to school.

Add to that, two of my daughters are starting to race and you can probably understand why I'm feeling good right now.

Alls good in the hood.
