Hey folks,

Wanna buy my team rig?

You know you want to…

Here’s the specs: Louis Garneau 6.4 carbon fiber frame. 57cm top tube. Shimano Dura-Ace 10spd gruppo with Cane Creek wheels. This bike rides like a dream! NO SEAT OR PEDALS included in sale (don’t use a seat, it makes your bike way lighter!).

Condition: Components have been used and professionally maintained for one season. A few parts have been recently replaced (chain, cables, etc.). Frame is brand new with only a weeks worth of riding on it.

If you’re interested, leave me a comment with your name and e-mail address and I will contact you with more details. You’re comment will not appear on the site.

Thanks.

Austin

Well… actually my Birthday is in January.

However, AKingsLife.com’s Birthday, which also happens to be it’s 1st Anniversary, was on March 16th…

Yes, I’m aware, that that was nearly two weeks ago. I wasn’t paying attention. Imagine that?

So here’s to my little shack of a web site and the 8 or so unfortunate people who inadvertanly stumble across it while taking a gingerly stroll down Internet Lane… but I graciously welcome them in and wishfully call them my “readers” thinking I may actually build up a following due to my non-verbal cerebral and often times down right juvenile ramblings that I call “posts”… but in actuality they’re simply lost and stagger out of the AKingsLife Saloon no longer thirsty for a drink… leaving only me to read my posts and giggle at their humor. Thanks folks!

Here’s the post that started it all. Click here.

Man, I love that cowbell.

Have a good one.

Hi folks,

Boy do I have a treat for you today…

Does anyone out there want to ride like a pro? Do you want to know the secret to a true pro’s success? Do you want to get pumped up and get that big result that’ll push your career to the next level so that you can make enough money to move out of your parents basement?

Well, if you answered “yes” to any of those questions than the following video will spill the beans on pro cycling and what it takes to ride like a true professional.

Click “play” and find out the true secret as revealed by my teammate Neil “Lavernen” Shirley…

Yes… it’s Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

Oh yeah, by the way… please mail me three payments of $19.95 for telling you the true secret of becoming a professional cyclist. Thanks!

In other news… a quick Redlands update… Let’s see… where to start? Redlands was a complete mess… On the plus side, I think I won’t get a respiratory illness from the Redlands pollution like I did last year… My teammate Cesar broke a bone in his forearm and seperated his shoulder… and I also got some website props from Karen, Phil Zajicek’s girlfriend. Also, Phil was awarded the Maillot Rouge, for the first red head across the line… I however didn’t ride fast enough to receive any type of special jersey.

Also, due to popular demand, here’s another picture of me bringing sexy back with my fabulous sandy brown… uh, er… I mean reddish colored moustache.

Take care, we’ll talk again soon.

In a few hours, I fly out to Ontario, California for another edition of the Redlands Bicycle Classic…

Jeez… It’s already time for Redlands. Where has the time gone?

It seems like just yesterday it was winter time and I was in the middle of growing a truly fabulous moustache…

I yearn for the revival of the glory days, where there was not a chill to the winter but a nip to the air… and an upper lip of beautiful sandy brown… okay I mean reddish colored hair.

Talk to you soon.

Well, I’m back in Phoenix where today’s temperature is going to hit 94 degrees…

A bit warm, but not that bad and good for the tan… or rather the darker shade of “creamy”, speckled with freckles, that I call a tan.

My last night in San Diego I almost got to sleep in a church… In all my years of traveling, I’ve slept in many different places and in many different beds, but not in a church. I was actually kind of excited to throw the Aero-Bed on the ground and fill ‘er up, close my eyes, and add the church to my list… But then I got the nod from my teammate Neil Shirley and the go ahead to come in his house and sleep on his futon. So no church for me…

In other news, while traveling last weekend, it was told to my mother that she is officially a newly added member of the Homeland Security Watch List. Yup, somewhere, deep within some cubicle, there is a dumbass who actually thinks my mother may just be a terrorist… For all those riders who have met my mom over the years, you already know that she is probably one of the nicest ladies you’ll ever meet. For those that don’t know my mom, well, she’s probably one of the nicest ladies you’ll ever meet.

Good on ya’ Homeland Security!

Also, I’d like to thank everyone who helped take such good care of the team in the past few weeks. From Steve and Caprice Zoumaras and their wonderful villa in Del Mar, San Diego, to all the host houses involved with the team at the Central Valley Classic in Fresno, California…

and lets not forget Neil’s futon.

Alright, I gotta go train now.

Talk to you later.

The Central Valley Classic is going fairly well for the team…

I haven’t seen today’s time trial results yet, but Cesar had a solid ride in yesterdays road race and should be running well in the overall.

Although… you know what… today in the time trial… I swear someone was screwing with my concentration. About 10 kilometers into the time trial I was passed by a beautiful red 1955 Ford Thunderbird complete with the continental kit…

And then another one… but this one was yellow.

And then a third one… but it was turquoise and a convertible.

Shit… at that point I had to glance back… and WOW! another 5 or 10 were coming. I was like a fat kid in a candy store!

As a fan of older classic cars, there are probably only a few things I might find more distracting than a fleet of 1950’s T-Birds. Possibly like a space alien attack? Or a big angry aligator? That would sure as hell distract me.

The beauty of it all was the fact that they didn’t really pass me too quickly. And the road was clogged with other races so I was able to pass them right back up in the bike lane and get another glance.

My Australian teammate Cody was pissed that the 12 Thunderbirds were out on the course and got a bit in the way…

Jeez… no respect, those Aussies. I bet had it been a gigantic can of Fosters beer, he wouldn’t have complained.

I’d have been pissed though.

Take care folks.
