A few shots of Birthday Boy...

I am not at home and have limited access to shots of Smap on my computer at Smap's office. Here are a few that I don't think I have posted on here before. Again, Happy Birthday Smap. I love you so very much. You are a stellar husband. :)Here is poor ole' Smap on his 40th birthday. We had a great evening in the ER after Smap had a little accident at Haw Ridge. Sucked because I had a cake in the car in a cooler and totally forgot about it until like 3 days later. When I remembered it, I dreaded opening the lid knowing it was going to be a big nasty watery cake mess.

Here is Smap finishing the Black Bear Rampage last summer. Of course everyone knows there was a drought last summer. And, of course it decided to rain hard as nails at the beginning of the race for an hour. Made for a very sloppy ride much like the Cohutta 100 this year!

Smap and I are both signed up to race single speed again this year down at Black Bear. Gary Fisher will be there racing and for post race entertainment. The preregistered riders list states that Floyd Landis is racing. We'll see. It is only a 44 mile race. I'm excited! (not to see Floyd, just for the race because last year was such a kickin' fun time).

And of course a shot of Smap standing in front of the New Belgium Brewery in Fort Collins, CO last year. We had one hell of a good time hanging out here for three hours getting a private tour and learning all we could about beer being manufactured off the grid. Luckily, we can FINALLY purchase this stuff in K-Town! Smap has been drinking every night I think since it has been on the shelves here.

Enough for today.

ps...how about that Tour! It is pretty good this year! I haven't picked my favorite yet, but I guess I will go for Team Columbia since they are a US team and Hincapi is on there. Gotta love that he has been a very strong racer in the tour for the last 13 years.

Next week I will also try to post shots from the 05' Tour de France! I had an interesting time!
