You Gotta Love February

You know for February, the weather's not too bad. DOH!!!!!!!! Wow the weather sucks. It looks like most of the U.S. is in the same boat. But damn, mid 30s/40s in April sucks. Just remind of this when it's July and copious amounts of scrotal sweat is rocking my chamois.

The good news (for me, I'm sure you could care less) is that my head cold is 99.9% in the crapper. Sweet! I was able to get some nice steady tempo spinning on the trainer for 1:20 tonight with not one snot rocket! Well maybe one or two, just for shits 'n giggles.

What was that I said a couple weeks ago about being done with the trainer and not making any more mixes. Guess I better fire up Jam PDQ.

Today I was reading Bikeman.com racer John "Eddie" Burns' race report from the Nova Desert Classic and he mentions how his iPod was integral part of his time on the trainer this winter and even mentions little 'ol me's mixes. Right on! But then he goes on to say his iPod was rocking some SERIOUS amounts of Iron Maiden. IRON MAIDEN? Gasp!!
BUT THEN I was forced to recall that long before I became an indie rock/sad bastard music snob I am today, I was a huge Iron Maiden fan (I blame my brother). There I said it! I even saw them live once. OK TWICE!!! Get off my back people!!! At least John wasn't listening to Rush. THAT'S a skeleton I hope to leave WAY in the back of the closet! Although I guess I just let that one out too. Damn!

RRRRRRRUUUNNN TO THE HILLLLLLLLLS! RUN FOR YOUR LIIIIIIIIFE!!!!!

Time to go watch a recently "obtained" video of the '06 Paris-Roubaix via Italian TV. I love the internet.

Later.

Metal is the best for riding/rocking the trainer. Metallica, RATM etc.

hallowed be thy name is for real. turning your back on iron maiden for indie rock is kinda like denouncing porn 'cause you're dating a feminist.

what's your blog going to read like when people start worshiping satan again?
