Well… my recap anyways. 

Obviously I dig pro cycling, but I’m not super knowledgeable in the stats.

Couldn’t have asked for better weather to cruise the great city of Chattanooga, TN for the 2013 Volkswagen USA Cycling Professional Road & Time Trial Championships.

Took a while to get in a solid spot on the mountain where there was miles and miles of very up’ed UPNESS viewing.  Once we got front row seats to watch these hill climb crushing monsters, are afternoon was set. Seats were sat and beers were opened.  

Snapped a few shots here and there and enjoyed watching these guys kill it!

Party Jammin!

After all these shenanigans, we headed to a local pub; ate, drank and retired for the evening.

Had a great time.  If you’ve never been to a pro race… I highly recommend doing so. Promise you’ll have a blast!

HAPPY FRIDAY!

So… yesterday evening, I’m in the middle of creating something that includes shooting a short video of myself; and I’m hitting a BIG creative wall.  My very rad wife notices my frustration and instructs me to go grab a 6’er (knowing that I’ve been beer free for the better part of 2 weeks now; gettin thangs done bruh!) to ease this mind numbing creative struggle that’s clearly frustrating me.  So I do just that.

On this simple journey to the grocery… I decide to chill and cruise the area to clear my mind in the hope inspiration will hit me on this outing.  The sun was setting, I rolled to the back of the local grocery and this shot popped in me brain bucket. Does it make sense? Is there meaning behind it? Do I care? Nope.

I snap, edit, post… and it turns out pretty cool.  So, I take this “see it, do it” mentality back to the casa and get it done!  In the words of Seth Godin “If you set your bar at ‘amazing’, it’s awfully difficult to start.” Take that to the bank!

I could never / I can’t / I’m not… has no place in creating.  Argue for your limitations and soon they will be yours.

Moral of the story…

I love watching Matt ride.  His style is that of true happiness on two wheels.

Really dig these freshly stocked Lone Wolf Cycling Territory Summer Cap’s! Go pick one up for yourself. I don’t foresee these being in stock for long.
