Early Season Cross Rides

I got out today and made some deposits in my pain account out on the road bank. I wish I could get a better rate of return, oh well... 60 miles between 0% and 15% grades all between 3K and 6K ft. (Why do they build roads that are so steep here?) Should have been a three hour ride on a road bike. It took me 4 on the cross bike with a backpack full of crap. I felt like I had cement in my legs. I never stood but for a second to let some blood flow into my little buddy. I'm reading "The Rider" by T Krabbe so it's motivating me.

One Word...NERDS

Yeah, we hung out with Ogre in Vegas at the Super Bowl party. We were approximately 6.5 yards from the bar where all drinks were free. Lets just say things got a little out of hand. Hey Chad, why is your hand blurry? I know he's a celebrity, but come on!

This bike is cool.

I'm thinking about ditching the levers on the flat section of the bar for next season because if your hands are on that part of the bar, your not attacking and therefore missing the entire point of cyclocross. Oh yeah, and cause pro's don't have those little levers either, and copying every little tiny thing any pro does or thinks about is the second most important point of cross.

Vegas Roadie Ride

This road ride was fun, but not as fun as the Ultimate Fighting Championship later on that night.

Ken B

The fastest dude that's older than you, that will drop you every time on the flat.

Sushi....Good

GB Luke K. and myself took in some sushi before catching the string quartet last weekend. Kenny B's wife had some cello solos that were quite nice.

Cross Nats

10 degrees. Frozen Tundra. Where were you Savory? You can see my little beer gut starting to pooch out, sweet!
