as stupid as people get during anxietymas, I think doing something like the Rocket Ride might go beyond acceptable risk this week. I hope he's ok.

over the summer, driving way home after a ride, i saw some of the guys waiting at a red light.

i shouted from the car "get off the road, hippies!"

they responded with some colorful gestures. it was hilarious. even more so when i emailed them later, telling them that it was me.

Rode in the rain a little, then went to watch some mud cross. They had Modolo beer hand-ups and dollar hand-ups. Some ladies I know were there.




They had to put steps in the run up.

ouch. i guess more time with the ice pack. Also might be the time to break out the codeine to help you sleep if you have any.

People crashing, mental breakdowns, Santa in Jersey and a full lunar eclipse on the solstice. It is the end of times.

2hrs on the trainer this morning. Very easy. IT band is easing up but still hurting a little. This happens occasionally.

Well, even though I didn't see the game, I could have told you Denver would lose. Timmy seemed to do OK in his first start, but you can't expect anything when you're running the sieve defense.
