and a clear reminder of why i didn't sign up for that iowa race.

PAVEMENT ENDS

those guys at the road commision must have their caps locks on all the time. they're always yelling, but no one is paying attention...

sunday's high 30's and muddy/icy/snowy 'two tracked' dirt roads kicked off a few firsts for '06:

- outside ride of the year, 2hrs. (been running, weights and trainer.)
- canine chase (big german shepherd. damn pesky germans... ;)
- ride with new rack/fender on the bike. (note to self: need to add more fenders.)

quest for the week: find someplace in lansing that sells scrapped-end plastic for making some ad-hoc fenders or plan a drive to ain plastics in troy, which i hope to not have to do.

prepare for possible ride and brew: http://www.michiganbrewersguild.org/festinfo.asp

racing schedule!

well, i finally wrote down my racing schedule for the year, you can check it out on the right. list subject to change.

whew... tired today. 8 consecutive days of training has left me feeling like a sluggish rubbery blob. hr was a little high this morning when i got up, so no training today! or training proper that is. probably still stress the liver a bit processing some carbs. gotta work on that energy processing efficiency. :)
