Keep Calm & Carry On

Was in a mind/fitness/weight/career funk yesterday. Went to bed super early last night, laid in bed watched football highlights on FootyTube and then looked a porn. Ah, um bike porn. Yeah, bike porn.

Had my normal night of sleep 'till 4 a.m. wake up, lay there for an hour, fall back to sleep and get up an hour and a half later. Frig. ONE night of solid sleep would be sweet. Frig. I

t was still relaxing in its own way and I felt semi refreshed this morning. Bonus. B-Man had a sitter today, so that gave me a chance to get some work done and go for a ride. I headed up to MMCC to ride a couple laps on the Spearfish. Got parked, got the bike set, tires inflated, shoes one, helmet.... Helmet? Where's my helmet?? NOT in my bike box. Frig.

So I drove one hour round trip to take my bike off the rack, drop an eph bomb, put the bike back up on the rack and leave. Idiot! Came straight home, immediately grabbed my helmet and my CX bike and headed out for 40 miles of gravelishness. Not Plan A, but Plan B was gonna have to work.

There was a steady headwind today, nothing epic, but a pain in the balls. I really felt like I was all over the bike trying to get it up to speed. Oh well, it makes up for the lack of hills I suppose. The bovines didn't seem to care.

Looks like some crap weather coming tonight and tomorrow, but then the rest of the week and weekend looks pretty sweet, I'm gonna need to end the week with some big miles since the riding has been/will be slim during the week.
