Another 1/2 Percent

While my bod is not putting out enough power right now for me to feel all that great about my state of fitness, the fact that I've ridden 1:15 two nights in a row after the way I felt for a week IS pretty damn impressive to me. Cheers to the body's ability to recover and bounce back from 'da funk. While still not 100% I did move another 1/3 percent closer.

I so wanted to take the day off from work today and get out on the trails with the Big Mama. But since I knew I wasn't feeling 100%, had some work to do at work (gasp!) and will have plenty of time soon enough, I thought it best just to lay low, and just keep clawing back to my fitness via the trainer for the next few days. The weekend will see me on dirt or at least a frozen facsimile of it.

With the end of my work days nearing, I now have the "not as fun as designing it" XXC task of tracking down some content for the first issue (OK that part is sort of fun) and trying to sell the idea to some industry types to try to get a couple pennies in the piggy. That part is in no way fun. I believe in what I can someday produce but trying to convey that to folks is sort of embarrassing to me. But it can and will be done. Just might take a while.

Got poop to do.

Later.

When is the first issue coming out, and what kind of content are you looking for?

Hope to have one out early April. Content can be a variety of things, races, epics, multi days stuff. The only racing going on right now has been south and south west, so it's been hard to keep track. Still getting some stuff.

what kinda content are you looking for? I have had some things in my head and journal for awhile. Nothing especially current, but will have a bunch of brevets happening soon, and the NE Fleche, 250 miles, most the length of Vermont, and halfish on dirt roads on road bikes.
