Surf City Cyclery

So Friday, March 19th, 2010 was the VIP Grand Opening celebration for Sean Flynn's new Specialized Concept Shop - SURF CITY CYCLERY. What a killer event! AND he invited a Nimrod! What a charitable guy. The evening was full of insane eye candy from the yellow S-Works ridden by Fabien Cancellara in the 2009 Tour de France


to the unbelievably stealth Specialized Shiv
There was incredible food provided by The Avanti Cafe (Vegetarian) and an open bar with select reds and whites with the Surf City Cyclery Label! Sean hooked all that were in attendance a shwag bag with t-shirt, water bottle, and a pair of sweet CapoFormasocks. I rolled out from the house Saturday morning looking "Pro" in the Nimmy Kit and the new 4" white Surf City Cyclery socks. Yes, I'm a flippin' rockstar in my own mind! Three cheers for the new shop! Hip-hip Hooray! x3

Fueling

To be an elite athlete you must be completely in tune with your body. Everything you do is purpose driven, there are no half-measures, no "days off". To this end I invite anyone who is interested to look into Hammer Nutrition. They are quite an amazing company. My family was assisted into this world by the mother of Brian Frank -the owner of Hammer Nutrition! (By assisted, I mean my wife's midwife was B.F.'s mother, she caught my kids!) I never knew this until she dropped an issue of the Hammer Nutrition Journal off at my house and told me that her son and former husband started Hammer years ago. I was blown away! Anyhow, I got to go to Whitefish Montana and tour the facility and let me tell you it was beautiful. They have an amazing compound and super modern offices AND a trampoline in the front! Back to fueling...I spent weeks researching the ways to fuel pre-ride, post-ride, on recovery days etc, then my partner in crime showed me how a Nimrod fuels:

Buurrrito anyone??????

So it ain't the berries!

Well, 4 months and counting and the berry on the left is still out of service. I think the Cremaster muscle theory is out the window now. My new theory is a jacked nerve in my back that is firing off through my hip and sack. Again, sucks to be me! I have been out on the bike and spend two days off of it with IBU and an ice pack, in fact I'm sitting on one now. Sitting causes a flare up it seems, especially when I get into my car. Standing is great, maybe I just need to ride out of the saddle? At least I feel better than I did two months ago. Slow to mend, but thankful.

The 2nd Coming...

Okay, so the 2nd Generation Nimrods Racing kit has begun production and we are gathering sponsors/ad space. Thus far we have a carpet company, geotech company, a roofing company, and a music group...we are hoping to get MotorTabs to join and "hook-a-brotha-up!" We will wait and see. I was looking over the biblical references for "Nimrod" and found in Genesis 10:8 and Genesis 10:9 some kick ass references and explanations. Nimrod = "Let us Rebel!" - Now that is straight-up perfect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMAJf-hf1Zk crazy crashes (view at your own risk - I haven't yet.)
