Downloading Movie #5

That's right, movie number 5. That means I've watched 4 movies so far today. Why? Well, I woke up sick that's why. Still bummed about it. Seems to have passed somewhat, but hopefully I can get on the bike tomorrow. I was supposed to get a long day in today. I know I'd feel a whole lot better if I was able to ride (obviously).

Is it just me, or does being sedentary make me feel worse than when I'm killing myself on the bike. Heck, I feel WAY better after a good workout then when i've rested for a day. Guess it's that brain chemistry doing it's work. OK, 79%, 21% to go. Never saw that last Superman movie, so I thought I'd give it a whirl. Then, maybe The Wrestler tomorrow, AFTER I ride.

So far today, I've warped through Star Trek, sliced through Wolverine, snickered my way through Angels & Demons, and enjoyed the last Bond flick, Quantum of Solace. Not a bad day so far for movies if I do say so myself, and I just did......out loud....with nobody else around. Guess I should feel lucky, or sane, that nobody answered me then.

In bike related news, I bought more tubes for the 29er. I need to be more conscious of my tire pressure out there. Too easy to flat. Will be going tubeless soon, but need to get proper tires first. Racing Ralph with Snake Skin please!

Gosh, this last 20% or so is taking a while. Time for some liquid beverage! And time for you to stop staring at the computer screen and to write a letter to your grandma, or the next best thing. Go on now, get!

Blowup

So I've been taking a little rest as of late. It started last week with a full-on rest week, but I seemed to need more as I felt like poo and pulled out of Sunday's race. Back to some light training this week, but skipping the races this weekend. I'll catch you next year USGP!

Har-Har and I have been working on something great as of late. It involves Go-Kart Tracks and Bicycles in combination. Let your imagination run wild!

Dear Harry Hannukah:

I know Hannukah isn't for another month, but if you could be so kind as to bring my gift early this year. I would like to have my old legs back, the ones that rode fast. And while I'm at it, my old arms too, the ones that handled the turns better and didn't turn to jello. I promise to return them after the last 'cross race for the season, For Schnuckus! Thanks Harry!

Hey Now!

I'm still giddy about last night's Go-Kart track bicycle test-ride. Yes, that's right, I spent my evening doing test-runs on my TCX at an indoor go-kart track. And yes, it was AWESOME! So just in case you were wondering what I do on my rest weeks to get recharged for the end of the season, now you know. It's our little secret.........for now.

Speaking of rest weeks, I was more than ready for one. Last weekend saw a tired Jordan toe the line both days, and a tired Jordan exited early from both races. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I won't be making that mistake this weekend at Fairhill or Spring Mount. I's gots to keep this train a'rollin a little longer.
