Post #200

200th Post!

My first post was on 4/20 (hehe) 2014: a eulogy for Randy, the bike that sparked my derailleur invention, and subsequently saw more prototype derailleur technology than just about any bike outside of SRAM's testing facilities.
A week later I'd picked up Shrek, my current fatbike, at RMS in Spearfish.
In May, I had my first snow ride.
By June, both Yokie and Rose had new bikes.
The post which still has the most views came from the time when Bunny McBunns hijacked me and Shrek and took us for a bike ride before shooting into the sky.
Found a secret paradise.
Also in 2014,  a bird came and landed on our frisbee and hung out.
Ratso, one of the coolest dogs ever, paid us a visit.
The times we used to study for Yokie's citizenship test.
I compiled a list of my annual favorite trails.
Rose rode as one of the queens in the Absarokee Days parade.
Kip came into our family.
Rose did her first backpacking mission.
I almost died on Spirit Mountain.
Softball joined the family.
We moved back to Malaysia, and had some good stories from there, like the switch, and the po po.
Rose and I kicked ass at our M'sian Sports Day together.
I rode in my first Malaysian bike race.
Rose cooked me an amazing fruit buffet, her first meal.
Shrek was featured on one of my favorite sites; bikerumor.com.
I got so sick from food poisoning that I lost about ten kilos.
Rose and I saw the Disney Orchestra and she dropped one of the most hilarious kids lines ever on me.
I had one of my best rides ever, one of my best days ever, when I took Shrek to the beach in Desaru.
Won my last race in Malaysia, which was one of my biggest victories ever.

Then?
Been a great year so far. One of my favorites: two state champs in one family!
