The Booger Ride

Booger 1

Last evening I started noticing a stuffiness in the shnozz, and it remained there this a.m. Not sure if it has to do with the weather going from 80 degrees to 30 in 2 days, if I have a cold, or an allergy kicking in.

I'm leaning towards allergy since I really don't feel sick. I mean despite the witch tit temps, shit is blooming all over the place including the flowering trees in my front yard that smell like the set of a porno. If you have the trees, you know what I'm talking about.

Anyway it looked nice enough outside and I wanted to hit some dirt on the Dos Niner, BUT it was only about 28 degrees at ride time and with a clogged shnozz and a race two weeks away I thought it best to lay low and spin on the trainer with my old Jamis that I call "Booger" because of it's lime green color.

So even though I truly thought I'd be done with the trainer for the season that's where I ended up. F*ck! It felt pretty good and got the juices flowing enough to launch a thousand snot rockets and open up the sinuses a bit.
In honer of tomorrow's Tour of Flanders I watched the 2006 version while spinning. I love that race and look forward to seeing some of it tomorrow. I'm half tempted to run out and see if I can get my hands on some Duvel, or Chimay to enjoy during the race tomorrow.

I did about 1:20 and at least felt like a wasn't a crusty turd. Figure I'll take tomorrow off and then hope to get back on the trail tomorrow.

It never really did get above 33 today. I need to mow my grass, but I pretty much refuse to use my lawn mower when it's 33 degrees with snow flurries outside. F-it, it will be there Monday or Tuesday.
