Nonsense: It's Hunting Season

Well, not yet, but on October 11th South Carolina's small army of friendly outdoorsman will deploy to various public game lands across the state. What does this mean? Well, for the hippie mountainbiker it means no riding on the FATS from October 11th to October 24th or, yes, you will be shot.

Hippie.

Speaking of the FATS I did ride there yesterday. The weather down here in the south has been outstanding of late with temperatures below 80 degrees and an even more enjoyable humidity level. I rode Great Wall and Skinny in a counter clockwise fashion in approximately one hour on my singlespeed.

Watch out for those singlespeeds, they will fuck you up. My quads were burning, but it was awesome to be riding again.

Later in the evening I proceeded, with friends, to The Mission for some live music performed by The Mighty Sideshow, 18 Visions, and Evans Blue. While watching The Mighty Sideshow I involuntarily vomitted, a reflex that stems from my recent contraction of Horrid Ass Music Stress Syndrome (HAMSS). Other symptoms include; dizziness, headache, numbness or tingling, and failed attempts at running for the presidency.

Basically, the band wasn't that spectacular.

18 Visions rocked the muthafuckin house. Hailing from Orange County, California this heavy metal and heavily tattooed five piece put on a high energy head banger that had the whole crowd screaming. It was so good I bought a sick ass T-shirt from their merch stand.

Rock out.

And then there was Evans Blue, some Canadian band that has a song on the radio. The end.

Unfortunately, we stopped at IHOP on the drive home which further delayed our getting to the fort and getting some sleep. Getting home at 0200 and waking up at 0430 for PT is so not cool.

Nap time.
