Suicide Squirrels, MJ’s Neverland and a Black Widow!

I’m packing up for the big move to Park City, UTAH and starting to get some training in the legs. Things are coming along. Shaking out a bike rag, a big black widow landed two inches from my right foot! Yikes! And I’m not sure what it is, but everytime I ride, the stupid sqirrels here attempt to commit suicide daily. The other day I hit one dead on! They literally jump out from the side of the road and play ‘chicken’ to see if they can cross the road. Crazier things have happened this year, but finding a black widow was not one I’m very fond of and killing squirrels left and right makes for some nasty cleaning of the bike!

Yesterday, Chuckie and I went out towards our favorite ride, Figeroa Mountain where MJ Neverland Ranch is located. (I used to laugh when we’d ride by at the lady in the red car who parked outside the gates of Neverland Ranch everyday. She’d sit and wait for hours to try and see the famous superstar. She’d literally sit in her car ALL day to try and catch a glimpse of MJ. Did she not know he didn’t live there anymore?) Yesterday, there were literally a ton of cars parked along side the road. They were coming in droves! It was a sketchy ride to follow the cars but we wanted to take a picture of not the gate, but the people…

Chuckie managed to get this pic of me with all the people ‘hanging out’ at the gate…

I am guessing that the couple in the picture to the right did NOT ride there on their bikes!

I love that half the world seems to have forgotten that MJ had, at best, very inappropriate contact with children and, at worst, very illegal contact with children.

On to better topics, hope you are back racing sooner than later!
