Frenchy's Rant

For some people, Black Friday means getting up at the crack of midnight to stand in a ridiculously long line to buy Christmas stuff. As I learned on Thanksgiving night, my soon-to-be-wife is one of these people.

I am not one of those people. My idea of shopping is Amazon.com. Besides, I couldn’t go out at midnight to Occupy Wal-Mart and risk oversleeping, I had an appointment on Black Friday to drop my dirt bike off at Agent Smith Racing for some much-needed TLC.

The frenetic pace of work has slowed my on-bike training. Right now I am finishing up a string of shows in Liverpool. In the last month alone, I have flown over four quadrillion miles, with only fifteen quintillion more miles to go until the year ends.

All that travel doesn’t mean I have stopped training though. On November 1st, a few of my friends and I started a running contest called, creatively enough, ‘Just Because.’

Instead of writing a bunch of nonsense about how my first ever day of riding in the sand went, I thought it’d be much more amusing to post a video of said nonsense instead.

Enjoy!

Sand.

Even the word makes me itchy, never mind the idea of trying to ride a motorcycle in it. According to the site, the 2012 APC Rally will include a long-ish dash through the challenging, dry, and extremely large Simpson Desert. This is the first image that came up when I Googled Simpson Desert:

With the Rally receipt in hand, I knew it was time to get serious. Even though a year seems like a lot of time, when your current physical state makes even couch potatoes look fit, there’s a long road ahead. First order of business? Drink a beer. My last beer for a long, long time. That’s how I know I am serious. Somehow through my travels I have managed to inflate my skin to Sta-Puft Marshmallow Man proportions. That day I changed my diet to stop eating a ton of crap every day, cutting almost everything good out (except for the nightly Macallan toast – sometimes tradition is more important than fitness.)

MMMmmmmmacallan!!
