random signs...

feeling a little fat lately, coming back from pizza country, gaining 5 pounds or so... i'll have to ride it off.

anyway, raced a little mini downhill race today. having no trail bikes nor down hill ones for magazine tests now, i took my good ol' gary fisher rig singlespeed 29er, and went racing. my setup was simple- 18 cog in the back, 80 mm out in front, and alot of nerve...

the course was fast, with lots of pedaling, so i was out of oomph rather fast. still, managed to squeeze myself into the top 5, finishing 4th, 4 seconds off the winner's time. next time i'll go geared. i might even win... i might be off the pace on the uphills, but at least i can still go downhill pretty fast.

it seems like its going to be a busy week. working, riding- both at the same time.

some more pics...

i did not know he was into all that facebook shit. whatever.

moran had a great time, taking some time off her studies. with all that passover holiday and the trip to italy, it's a little hard to get back to reality.

yes, somthing is definitely wrong in this picture, but its totally real. the house is really blue. and the tower is about to fall...

i was supposed to race the Dusk till Dawn race, tomorrow night, but not only am i out of shape, i'm also a little sick, so i'll have to pass this one. bummer.

its been a while...

well, back from beautiful Italy. it was so intense and romantic... the mountains were full of snow, still, and the weather was perfect. we had a great time together, driving our little car on the roads of northern italy, and even getting into switzerland... This is us in Venice...

we had some weird picnic in the middle of a snowy field. it wasn't too cold, and the scenery was amazing. i'll post some more pics soon.

we had ice creams of all kinds... this one wasn't on the ground for more than 5 seconds...

it was tasty...

honey mooning.

Moran and i are married for almost 6 months now, and its time for a little get-away together. so, we're packing our bags and heading to northern italy !!!!! wooooohooooo...

having never been there before, i can only imagine it looks a little like this- Mishmar ha'emek in the spring time. but i guess its a little more striking than this.

tuesday is our d-day, and then its 9 days around the lakes and towns of northern italy, including Venice and Milano... mmm... life is hard, i know.
