Jibba jabba

Well howdy America! I just got back from bike school in Colorado and had a blast playing with bikes. It was a long three weeks of fun riding and lots of knowledge for my pea sized brain. It was amazing the detail that we had to get into and the length and precision that john barnett had gotten into in teaching us how to be proper bike mechanics. Now that I am back from colorado its time to pack up for my next adventure.........



First of all I would like to introduce my newest friend to you America. He had no name the time I first meet him, but he had the spirit of an old friend so I gave him a name of names. S-Works the Gnome!



I first found S-Works in the bushes at my parents house in NC while I was doing yard work. He was rummaging around eating shrooms and playing with the lady bugs. He is a jolly good fellow. He likes to eat drink and be merry, and is full of laughs. S-Works is partial to Helen Keller jokes, he finds them painfully ironic and hilarious! Anyways he is joining me on my adventure to Tucson Arizona to work at a bike shop called Fair Wheel Bikes. S-Works has been more than helpfull in planning and helping me pack for the trip.




S-Works has been uber helpful to me, and we are really excited to be getting on the road ASAP! Who knows what kind of shinanigans we will get ourselves into!

Keep In Touch America because you just might miss something Awesome!

Stay Classy America!
