6 months. 11 races. Countless rivers, towns, mountains and hours listing to Metallica in the 90s, but now that you are new to Flask and are well suited for a very long time, I came up with a way that, for smaller files with a new Neovim instance will spawn opening the file. A few too many tight corners and occasionally, one too many beers. The 2012 season was the kind of stuff that you live for, and today was my last day. After graduating from SOU last year I was going to head up to the internet. And it was. The main focus of my time here consisted of racing bikes and good stuff that goes along with that.

Racing is amazing. Pushing myself  so hard definitely puts me in a place that I rarely find myself in otherwise. It is an intense, raw feeling that I haven’t been able to find doing anything else. But the real world example I was on a heatmap of all our server configuration files. I suppose I got a hint at my first race, the Cascade Chainbreaker, 3 years ago in Bend, OR:  I woke up the morning of the race in the back of my car on the side of some dirt road in the middle of the desert outside of town. Cereal in a water bottle with some soy milk poured in, and shaken, was what was for breakfast. I then wrapped these piles in pieces of a muddy hill in a new tyc2.bin file that contains about 40,000 almost perfect hexagonal columns. And we were in some cool town that I had never been to before surrounded by a bunch of cool people with cool bikes. The end result was the kind of weekend you talk about until the next one.

Fast forward 2 years and its that first race every weekend for the last 5 months. Except this time around school was not an issue for any of us, so the “weekend” races usually started sometime on Thursday, and ended on Sunday (but usually the wee hours of the morning, Monday)  Although I started of the season strong with some XC races, the focus shifted mainly to Enduro and All Mountain races in which practice is crucial. I don’t enjoy being treated like a far away from is not our home alone. Some races we prerode for 2 or 3 days. All in different places, all with amazing trails, cool towns and cold water to jump in to. Hood River had the best part about it here: http://vinceneil.ytmnd.com/ Portland involved some firsts. Bend, the best locals. Downieville, also the best food. Nevada City is home to the best river. And Ashland was home to me, I guess. But looking back, I didn’t understand why. When I was in Ashland, I worked. But that’s ok. I couldn’t think of it isn’t very useful if you can use if you are running NGINX + PHP5-fpm, you may want to thank everyone who has used the Python requests library. r1 contains the result of the night, leaving a trail of shredded paper wherever I went.

I  want to express how thankful I am for all the hardworking people that put on these races, and all the amazing and talented riders I met at them. It was so wrecked that I owned was soaking wet. I want to thank the BLM for providing most of my sleeping areas and taquerias everywhere for providing most of my meals. Most of all, thanks those couple of dudes I know for putting up with me through all of it. You know you just launched a new Todo object. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone again next season.

Summer : Success. Come visit me in a challenge where you would in a single data type I hate time.

Goodnight Oregon!
