Today was another one of those days where no matter what direction I was going I had a head wind. The last 5 miles were a joke. The wind got so bad I almost got gave up in frustration. I was visibly pissed. The stupid part, looking at the flag poles the last five indicated no wind, but it was def there.
First time I rode a bike to failure my legs were toast. I imagine sleeping is going to be rough tonight, leg pain plus most likely restless legs.

As some here know, my son is a power lifter and routinely dead lifts and squats ~625#. Well, he said he started a dead lift and noticed his form was a little off but kept going. His elbow area “exploded.” I took him to an emergency orthopedist this morning who confirmed torn tendon(s) requiring surgery as soon as possible. They showed him sonograms of both of his arms and even he could see the devastation in his damaged arm. Like any amateur athlete, he’s devastated. He had several meets lined up this Spring.

I've seen the NHRA at Pomona a few times but never been to those other tracks except Saugus. Went to the USGP of motocross at Carlsbad a few times. That was fun. A 2.2 mile track in a natural canyon and you could bring lawn chairs and an ice chest and sit anywhere. One year they had mountain bikes racing around during intermission. I remember we thought they were crazy. Track was closed to build houses.
Also saw a National mx race at Saddleback in Orange County. Another natural terrain track also closed by housing.

My friend raced flat track at Ascot in 1972 on a 250cc Ossa. Going to see the sprint cars there was a hoot. I even took my sister and her daughter there and they had a great time.

I thought about a cycling activity this afternoon but my nap activity went to long. Quasi-jogging activity instead.
I went by a stop light. There's a truck waiting there with its window open (even though it was only in the 40s) and a dog yapped away at me. A minute later it passes and the dog is still yapping.
What is wrong with those creatures?

Speaking of naps going too long, I napped from 4-7 pm yesterday. Is that even a nap?
Dogs are man's best friend. Get one and you'll discover this universal truth. Until then, pipe down.

I got a couple fake KMC X11 chains off of Amazon a few years ago. I broke both and didn’t know about the fakes until someone posted here to watch out for fake KMCs. I should have known better the price was cheap.
