Morning Glories

It is hard to shift to an early morning rise after working so late into the night on weekends, but it is worth the effort. I accomplish more and stay on top of the multiple and various demands for my attentions when the day begins early. It’s up with the morning glories blooming. (though they stay open till almost noon) I should ride in the mornings also, as most race events I may enter in the future run before noon at my level.

I have been negligent in informing you, my readers of upcoming events. Yes, the Milwaukee Triathlon has passed. I am sure many of you would have participated if only I had informed you a week or two previous. When you think of triathlon, you have to think Emery’s; Milwaukee’s triathlon oriented bike shop. Very good people too.

Irish Fest is in full swing. Milwaukee’s ethnic festival that seems to have the biggest international draw. It is a bit longer than most too. Festivals and other such activities are a good walk for me and my wife. Do I count my State Fair four hour walk as exercise, bowling or walking the mall when we get the chance to go shopping? No, and this leaves my exercise journal lacking. Still my weight is dropping and I will mention something that I believe is helping in a future post.

And don’t forget about Milwaukee Indy Fest at the Milwaukee Mile.

The Polish Moon-Ride is a week from today. Yes, a Friday night ride. Information here. Looks like they want you to register in advance.

Yes, the Wednesday Night MTB Races have been on at The Rock Sports Complex. You must finish all four laps or you receive a DQ, and I’m not talking Dairy Queen. Rain threatened the season and their first race was done despite the droplets from heaven descending, just to get the season started before Summer was half over. It draws a bit of a crowd, and I am sure it will grow. The Metro members are attending and they are seeing new faces and groups participating. It could grow into quite an event. Could The Rock ever be as big and popular as Park City?

Much of the typical run for the Wednesday Night Race (the alpha trail) has been too wet to use, forcing the use of the trails on The Rock property. The Pleasant Valley trails in Ozaukee County are suffering similar difficulties. But Devil’s Head has some mountain bike trails one can ride, as does Alpine Valley. At the latest club meeting Alpine Valley was well-spoken of.

Of course Minooka is where all the up and comers are riding these days. The trails are spoken of highly. At the end of the month they will be hosting the first of four NICA Races. No team affiliation required to participate. This is the high school MTB series that WORS was instrumental in getting moving here in Wisconsin.

Alois has drawn me into one of his international conspiracy theories. What a birthday gift; a whole kit of information and promotional materials for 9/11 Truth. Of course the three buildings were brought down by controlled explosion. I saw them come down. The evidence is hard to deny, the motives are clear, though those put forth by many are the work of nut jobs, and …why do you think the families of the victims received such extraordinary amounts of compensation? Why is the issue being covered up? The Clintons. This system would have had to have been planned and put into effect under  the Clinton administration.

Thanks Alois.

Now the $67 question: In “Chuck Hammer and the Invisible Squadron; A Vendetta’s Wage” I am making a weapons change in the final chapter; name the weapon that is being changed and what it being changed to.

Okay, that is more of a demand than a question, but it’s worth just as much money. The edit will be uploaded to the e-book before the end of the weekend. See the Charity Jackpot Page in the sidebar for details.
