Back On Track

Back on track, but not so back on the bike. Between root canals, car inspections, and trying to wrap up XXC #5, it's been a busy week. I mean BUSY. I kid you not, I NEVER worked this hard when I had a pay check job. NEVER. There was a busy day now and then, but I worked my 8 hours (or close enough) and went home. Now it's pretty much all the time. And that's cool, because I love doing it. I feel like I did when I was 18 and used to draw all the time, and would just stay up late drawing, and working on stuff because It was fun. But this is "funner!"

I also threw caution to the winter wind and got signed up for Southern Cross today. I believe me and Mr. Bradley Schmalzer (on bass guitar!!) will be making the trek to the land of the Dukes. Yeeeeeeehaaawwwww!

Not sure what the hell I'm thinking. I'm a good 10 el-bees over racing weight, hardly ride all week, and sign up to drive 10+ hours, ride 50+ miles and climb almost 8,000 feet. IN JANUARY!!! WTFF?? Yeah, that's right- double f. Take a look at the course, better yet take a look at the friggin' elevation gain!


But it feels good to look forward to something other than Christmas. I don't really look forward to that, other than it being over. So much for my semi-retirement from racing. Just when I think I'm out, something draws me back in to the suffering. Cool.

Well gotta spit, mucho to do, plus in B-Man's words- "It's fun filled Friday!"

EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot... Because this blog can NEVER have too many pics of sausages at bike races-
