Close To The End Of The Rope

Hmm.... What to say bout this week so far? Umm.... The good- two good workouts, ahem, I mean time "doing stuff" so far this week. That's well enough. Of course neither workout was outside on the bike. One in the gym... staring lustfully, wantingly... at the treadmill in front of me... ah, ummm... ah... ah... Then to the weights to keep things from sagging too much. Then today it was time on the trainer in the basement listening to tunes, doing laundry, and sweating a ton. Again.. good enough. Sucky, but good enough.

Then later today the snow started. F*CKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKING SERIOUSLY??????? They (they being the f*cking nerds at weather.com) are saying that we could get up to 10 inches in the MP area in the next 36 hours. It's March 22, do you know what I was doing LAST March 22?? NO??? Well neither do I since I didn't post last March 22, but I do know that last March I had a TON of fun riding the Tour of Irwin, the KSF'ed Weekend, and other rides. Including a local loop that had over 2,300 feet of climbing (FYI- I rode for 50 miles this weekend and had about 600 feet of total elevation gain). Then again on that same ride last March I nearly came to blows with a Western PA douche bag about riding on the road.

The Barry-Roubaix is this weekend, there is talk of the pissy weather, shortening courses, icy roads and what not going on. I hate everyone, so I went to Rics and got some Hopslam. Said "F-U" to the snow, to my weekday beer ban and the never coming spring. And to many other things.

March twenty-fucking-second and snow. Nice.

Later.

I think I ran into that same guy last weekend. After yelling and swearing about the state laws, I started to regret my reaction a little bit as the pickup slowed down. I thought for sure I just got my friend and I shot and we'd be rotting in the gutter just like all the other roadkill on the Western PA backroads. Although no snow (yet?), there is hail, tornadoes, and flooding (and an average one day per week of sunshine).

Sounds like 'cross bike weather to me.

Remember that big ass log you got stuck in your wheel back in 2010? Well, the same damn thing happened to me today. I was zipping down the trail at high speed and suddenly - WHAM! I get a freaking five foot long, four inch thick, log stuck in my rear wheel. WTF????

My Mavic Crossmax wheels came away from the encounter only with a slight wobble. GEZ!!!!
