Man what’s this fool talking bout?

I might be older,  

but I ain’t old, 

Sure my wattage at threshold dropped, but I can still drop fools here in there

my butt got bigger but prolly not as big as those graver trendy tires that all the gravel folks running

My grammar hasn’t gotten better

And according to popular belief. I don’t stalk, 

I lurk..

But boy howdy…it’s barely leaves on tree time and I stand here trying to catch my breathe of all the good stuff that has already unfolded in around our world, I mean would you stop for one single moment and look around, take a deep breath on how lucky all fools got it! I mean holy moly Macinnoly..

A small percentage probably still think the golden age is behind us, but those better start migrating towards the water,

Dinosaur’s died, some evolved but mostly went extinct, 

I’d like to think T is evolving, he may not be as present and relevant as he once was, he still lurking deep inside the heard of Michigan Scene migration..

I mean really fools..folks got it better now than ever before 

No more rim brakes..

No more bone jarring 23mm hard as wagon wheel tires

No 63mm suspension 

No more bar ends, and got dam thankfully no more that hard swallow sour Cytomax shit

I mean the scene has struggled with change ain’t no lying there, sure we had this whole road race, and crit thing , nice payouts, big turnout, Tailwind, Fun promotion, Cry Baby Classic..made planning your weekend pretty simple, skinny or fat, scabs or dirty shorts, subway or pizza..

Now only the curmudgeons think the old days were the best days.

Dammit fools.. there is soo much rad shit going on in the scene it’s a hard decision on what bike you should ride. Congratulations to all that have stepped out of normal swallowed the sour milk of transition. I know I feel pretty good to have made journey and I’m quite sure I’ll continue to evolve.

A once great cycling company that was good as a marketing team as they were at producing some kick ass stuff..once said..

“ evolve or die”

I don’t hope death on any of those that didn’t, but also ain’t missing there stodgy old presence..

But take heed, but because T is a fair man your parking spot is saved at far end 

Nothing but peace n love

T
