The last book written before his passing. I love how the people attending Burning Man captured the mood and spirit if it.

Mark Guiliana’s clip here is definitely worth the look see. Thoughtful speedidelic licks and groove. Clean and dirty.

Have to say I was very impressed with Travis Barker’s playing on this album. Very complexe rudimental structures within the grooves made it a great listen. I highly recommend it.

The rain subsided and we were on our way out of downtown Tulsa by 7am. Within the first 6 miles, there were a few bikers that did some face plants on a railroad crossing that was more like an ice rink. No major injuries, but many a bruised egos.

Throughout the ride, I was pushing a great average of 18-22 mph pace. That is, between the many flats that were out in force for the entire route. I replaced 5 tubes and two tires before relenting a mere 10 miles from the end. Frustrated, I made it back alive.

The experience last year was great (no flats) though I truly felt my riding has improved greatly since then. I am definitely in better shape. Top it off, it’s such a great cause and great people. Wonderful experience to be a part of. Next year’s ride will be GLORIOUS! (and hopefully with less flats).
