Smell That Fish Burp

Even though I was spent from the ride on Saturday, I was unable to not ride yesterday. The weather was too good and I just wanted to be outside on the bike. There was Sun, warm temps and the chance to ride some roads other than my normal weekday loops.

I'd like to think my legs felt great, but I think it was more the fact that I was riding skinny tires on pavement, and not fat knobbies in mountain mud that made my legs feel so good. I was able to get a 40 mile loop in, and it was nice to be out. The only "not nice" parts were climbing through a farm smelling cow shit and urine baking in the sun (see pic) and the long Black Snake on the road (no pic, too busy soiling myself). Actually even those "bad parts" were OK. Smelling cow shit reminds me that I'm in the sticks on my bike and if I have to road ride, that's were I want to be. And the snake, well, while I still hate snakes at least it was a Black Snake and not a Copper Head!

Heading in to this week with some clean living. Diet adjustments are being made and I'm hitting up a multi vitamin and Fish Oil to balance out body and brain. I've let myself get caught up in the "reward" eating/drinking. You know "I rode for 3.5 hours, I guess I can have 4 beers and 12 pieces of pizza". Yeah, it's not so much a reward if I do it 5 times a week! Next thing you know, I'm ordering some bibs "once size up" because the old ones "shrunk" and XXL jerseys because the one I have must be "Euro cut".


Gotta go work on my fish burps, start Issue #3 and think about updating the web site.

Later.
