Literally, my van is running right now....

Packed to the gills.  It's not fun having to deal with this much crap.  Some of it will dissipate as the days go on, but not much of it. 

My bike is in the back, don't worry.  I plan to ride some parks on this trip for sure.

In more of my boring childhood stories, I will tell you that my first BMX-type bike was a Silver Fox, very much like the one all three Baker children are aboard in this shot....

   Shout out to Smitty, who left a comment about a "Le Mans" start after I posted about the Miller High Life Grand Prix event.  It seems impossible, but I came up with the idea for the "Grand Prix" because I do a lot of "Le Mans starts" out at Birdland.   The lineage of this is so completely obscure, I can't even believe it.  Look it up if you don't know...

   Also, check out my buddy Kim's blog here.  Lots of sweet MC stuff.
