The Approach Is Not Great

I can't say I am thrilled with the way my week is shaping up in preparation for my first 100 mile race since 2009. Monday was a scheduled day off from "doing stuff," today was to be a quick doctor's visit with Brennan, then home and off for a quick ride. But the doctor was one hour behind schedule, then ordered a test that he wanted done today, so we needed to do that. Ride put on hold until tomorrow. But tomorrow is B-Man's Writer's Cafe at school at 11 AM, and I can't pass up seeing the boy drop some literature knowledge on we parents. There is tomorrow evening, but it's supposed to storm. UG! But then again, it might not.

Then again, like they say "it's just bike racing," and there are more important things than obsessing over which bike to use and how fit I am not. No real fitness can be gained right now anyway, so maybe I will just spin around town to keep the legs spanky. I also am rocking a couple crotch issues. Not exactly saddle sores, but some sort of pimple/pinch/sore right where the ass cheek and the inner thigh meet. Best to let it heal a bit more before heading out for 100 crotch rubbing miles on Saturday. Don't want to risk it turning into some sort of festering pus ball.

Speaking of crotch rubbing.... (or not)...

Who's ranked #1 in Women's World Cup XC right now?

Here's another great photo from mtbs.cz of Emily Batty.

Very nice stuff. All the white rocks.

Full gallery is HERE. Great stuff as usual from them.

Oh well, sorry for the lack of a post. At least I posted SOMETHING bike related. I almost talked about grilling chicken, which is only slightly better than talking about spanking chicken. Speaking of crotches (were we not?) I saw a woman on TV use the phrase "grab a handful of nuts," without a trace of a giggle. Which is more than I could say for me.

Later.
