Finished

I got XXC Magazine #12 done. Woot! Man I love this job, but it can make me a big tool bag of stress. I still find it hard to believe I have now done TWELVE issues of the mag + one special Dirty Kanza edition. Although, I would just as soon forget the quality of the first few issues (my fault), I have been stoked with the quality of the past year or so. Oh well, enough work... time to chill with a beer or three and relax.

I did squeeze in a quick 33 mile ride today. about 40/60 pavement vs. dirt. A bit more pavement than I enjoy, but I was in a hurry to get home to have lunch with Wifey and I'm a tad faster (GASP!) on the pavement. So 33 would have to be it.

Dirt/sand/gravel/stuff not pavement.

Looks like I might have my next race planned- the 46 mile Boyne Marathon next weekend. As much as I dig longer stuff, I am comfortable with my suck limit which seems to max out at about 75 miles anymore. I hear the course is a ball buster with a significant amount of climbing for Michigan. Then again, maybe 46 miles will be the new suck limit.

I dare you to find where this road ends! Great googly moogly, it just sort of goes on forever. Sometime I pedal for so long without a car passing that when it does it scares the beejeeezus out of me.

Later in the day I scratched an Italian itch (not the one I picked up when I use the shitter at the Italian Oven in 2002) with some Cacio e Pepe. Damn it was good. I really think I could have eaten the whole 16oz. of pasta... but I didn't I only at 14oz.

File foto. The man in the hair suit is clearly not me.
I do recommend checking out the recipe. Great stuff and super simple.

Gotta split, gotta do some shit and then go to the Bird with my lady type person later (the weekend starts TONIGHT!)

Later.
