03.26.05 - double up

two rides in today - little over 6 hours.

first one was with jim b and he must of been frisky because we set steady tempo for the entire day. rollers hit us immediately and overcast skies cleared later and i actually saw the sun. thank heaven for my tifosi's, or i may have had to squint my eyes. food was right on today, so i think i have my race food down pretty good.

ride two was about an hour after getting back from ride one - tried out the hardtail asylum. about 4 adjustments to bars/seat height and position later, i was on my way. kind of bummed though, went tubeless with this bike and the front keeps loosing air. dang. won't run tubeless for the race bikes, don't like the hassle and i have issues taking the tires off when my hands have taken a beating, along with the body. for some odd reason, sometimes one does not think clearly after riding for extended periods of time.... (i once thought i saw a kangaroo in the woods during the race at snowshoe....) haulicinations are cool....

looks like i am going solo tomorrow. not too many enduro freaks in my neck of the woods - a ton of roadies though - but i actually prefer riding alone sometimes, especially during the week. work thing makes it difficult to meet up with other riders.

other news and random comments:
1. reviews up tomorrow (i promise!)
2. have a happy bunny day tomorrow
3. my cat mootsy says hello
4. starbucks expresso roast rules
5. post ride weight at 143
6. riding outside is sooooooooooo much better than riding indoors
7. ride rigid - forces you to pick good lines. then switch back to suspension - you'll be fast.
8. indy films rule (more on this later)

rock on with your bad 'self...
