SSWC08
Quick note on 2 things...
Chipotle jersey contest was a bust, but a fun effort. I just have a hard time designing ugly jerseys (too many elements, fades, shapes overlapping)...for me simple is better (matter of personal taste).
SSWC08—helping Curtis and crew get the event off the ground and running successfully. Imagine 300+ singlespeed mountain bikers, drinking and racing...gonna be interestingly fun, especially since it will be right here in Napa Californ-eye-A.
Skyline is brutal to my fat-ass--pushing 32:16 generally involves some walking fer' me. Plus I have yet to set tire to dirt on the trails that put me out of commission now for 9 weeks...but I do look forward to it!
I poached this here video from the BIKE blog, here's how Curtis was able to secure the rights, the honor, to host the event.

DeeeZinin'
So I don't get to do a ton of design in my current job as I am now a project manager and more involved with scope, schedule and budgets...joy. In order to remain sane and focused on what I really want to do, I have my freelance world and contests.
I'm currently entering designs for the Chipotle/Slipstream Cycling jersey and I'd like to ask for your help my faithful readers!
I've got two ideas up already and one more in the works and when voting opens on 9/16, I would love to have your support and win!
To make it even more funner, think of a vote for me as an opportunity to make fun of me when I win and wear a full team kit.
You can look way to the back of the pack on our group ride or any ride and laugh silently or out loud about ol' Prosser stuffed into the Argyle kit he designed.
It doesn't matter to me, I just want to win!
Here's the link to view the jerseys:
Slipstream Jersey Contest
Here's my first two comps...I'm trying to allow for proper sponsor placement as well as make the argyle something better to look at...
I tried to stuff a burrito in the back pocket (graphically), then upon uploading I see someone else did that too! Oh well...mine's more better
Basically the same, tried a gradient and black instead... option 3 will be something else...

Unscrewed
Yesterday was the big day, I was un-screwed.
Pretty simple surgery, but the after-effects were not fun.
Got home with screw in bag and proceeded to barf like a super-model. Topped off with a sweet 11 hour headache (compliments of no coffee in the morning) and I was a hurtin' fool.
Today it feels like Spock is perpetually pinching my shoulder so I'm back on the Norco™!
Gooder news? No sling plus I rode my Kestrel on Sunday and Monday...how I miss the bike!
Mountain biking seems questionable for the foreseeable future, but I am pretty sure that I'll be back on the road within a couple weeks (see what my PT has to say, but I can grip the bars and move along pretty well).
1" Long and out of my body!
