Low (and to the left)

Not much riding going on today. A mere treadmill jog was about it today. Mucho work and house stuff to do. But I also got to do some fun stuff, like pick up my new wheels from Pro Bikes- Yep, finally got 'em laced up. Hope Pro II hubs (from the old set), Stan's 355s, Supercomp spokes, yada, yada, yada. Man what a difference the 355s are to the old Bontrager Mustangs I had. Not that it will make me 1 mph faster, but it might make me THINK I can go faster, and LOOK faster, and that is 90% of being fast according to .0001% of all MTB coaches. It's a fact.

I also got to do super cool man stuff, like weed whack with a spanky new $30 weed whacker I got myself from Home Depot. I hate that f*cking store. 1) I hate it because it's huge and I can never find what I'm looking for, and 99% of the time I have no idea what I even need. And 2) it's like the biggest collection of products under one roof that I have NO F*CKING IDEA HOW TO USE, AND/OR INSTALL PROPERLY. I even dreaded buying the freaking weed whacker because I thought I would have to put it together. Luckily there was just a handle that needed screwed on. All that DYI bullshit. More like DYI then have to pay someone to come fix it for me and hope they don't take my money and run like that freaking siding guy did. Ricardo Cranium!!

Hope to get a quick spin on the dirt tomorrow, if not the road will have to do. Then some bigger miles Saturday. Hard to believe I have another race coming up on the 15th. Not 100% sure that it will happen, but I am registered for it, so I might as well ride it. Not sure why I registered for 2 lap races back to back. I like lap races because of what they can offer in terms of having a pit, etc., but 90% of the time I would rather do one big ass loop, or two rather than 10 short loops Maybe it's adult ADD?

Sleep beckons.

Later.
