I can chalk up another fun and new event. I am sure everyone remembers rollerderby. Its a sport that was huge in the 70s , and as most things from the 70s, its getting popular again. Last night I went to watch the girls from Austin lay the smack down(literally)! A freind of Malindas hooked us up with some free tickets. Its hard to explain rollerderby. Its like a combination of track cycling, hockey roller speed skating, and girls that are tougher than anybody I know. I am not even going to try to explain the rules. But I do know that Rice Rocket, number 3 e(to the power of) 8 is one bad ass chick! She skates for the Hotrod Honeys. I wonder what my rollerderby name would be if I was a cute tough girl. Feel free to enlighten me with your ideas. For hints on name and number choices check out the website!
My night ride wasn't as fun this time however. For one, my crotch was on fire due to my 100K ride that morning. Then, as I was almost up to speed I stood on the pedals and my foot slipped out. I promptly racked myself on the top tube, mostly lost control and rolled up onto a sidewalk via a ramp (thank god) and then across some grass and off the curb on the other side. I was mad when stopped and proceeded in trying to rip the plastic cage of my pedal, to no success. Oh well, maybe I should have drank a couple of lonestar beers at the derby... lesson learned!

Brian, I'm glad I've stumbled upon this little gem of a blog. Now I can stalk you every move all the way from the other side of the US. How wonderful.
