Different With The Same Results

I had a plan to ride a new route today for my road ride. And I did. Sort of. The ride (according to Mapmyride.com) was 39.5 miles with 1,975 feet of climbing. But as I started out somehow forgot a turn or two (head lodged in rectum) so I did a slightly different variation that ended up being only 32.09 miles with just 1,552 of climbing. It was still an amazing day in the saddle, weather wise at least.



My legs have felt better, and I've had better luck on rides... At one point I dropped my phone/car key when I attempted to get my tip sheet out of my pocket, and had to u-turn back for it. Then my computer was fading in and out, so I tapped it with my fingers and the next thing I new it was flashing "UNIT." As in "suck my" I assume. On a couple of the roads that I haven't been on in a while, I discovered some WPA pot holes the hard way, by hitting them at speed and sending a jolt through the forearms that triggers me to uncontrollably blurt out "F*CK!"and to instinctively pray that there was no pinch flat or tacoed wheel! BUT it those things are the extent of my luck during a ride, I'm pretty OK with it.

Even if it wasn't my planned ride, it was still a great day to be in the saddle. B-Man is off school the next two days and Wifey is IN the office the next two days, so my work day will be a bit ephed, and my ride day will be a bit ephed. But I will get to spend some Q.T. with the B-Man and maybe even get out for an evening ride or a ride out at my Dad's digs.


The XXC Banner arrived today. Look for at it at the races. Stop by, buy a T shirt, heckle me for throwing up on my top tube, have me throw Heed (or top tube vomit) at you if you do heckle/don't buy a shirt, etc., etc., LOL!

Better yet is this from the piece on Pozzato-

"I've no problem admitting that I had to look up the word metrosexual on Google to know exactly what it means after Andy Schleck described me as 'a talented rider but with a metrosexual exterior' in his blog. Now I know what it means, I'm happy to admit that, yes, I am a metrosexual cyclist. I know some people find it funny that I want to look good on the bike but I don't care. Remember, only God can really judge me."

Yes, Filippo only God can judge you, but I'm pretty sure I heard that wacko conservative dude on CNN say that God sends Metrosexuals to hell because it's "sick and wrong." AND that you shouldn't be allowed to have kids or marry. I don't really get why the dude is so against Metrosexuals, or why God would care about Metrosexuality, when there are wars and stuff going on.... At least I THINK it was Metrosexuals the dude was talking about, I was sort of shaving my legs in the shower when the story was on.

Gotta moisturized and trim my nose hair.

Later.
