monday.... oh monday

The US didn't do to badly and my no-brainer prediction that Nys would win was pretty close to a lock... 'course all predictions are based with the assumption: "barring a fall or a mechanical"

kinda sad - the Worlds signify the real end to the Cross racing... but only about 8 months to go before the start of the New England season! should be a good one - but Cross in September? seems early, esp for that sport...

and it being a monday - can't remeber if i've already blabbed about it... why can't the races here go beyond Nationals? It ain't like most of the cross racers are headed to Europe anyway, lets have N.E. races in the REAL winter...

I took the weekend off from riding - yeah as nice as it was - i needed some rest and recovery time... and it go me thinking...

do shorter (1-2 hr) low intensity rides do anything for ya? Makes me think about it - cause 1-2 hours is nuttin... can be done by most anyone, add two hours making it 3-4 hours on the bike at a lower intensity - THAT make sense... but it also makes it more confusing...

So how to get inshape - how to get into racing shape? Dunno - maybe just race?

AHAHAHAH - just logged into USA cycling to look at liscense stuff - well whadda ya know - i'm there - even have a # still... crazy that!

But as i feared - i've gotta start with a CAT 5 squirel card... but - with luck i could probably upgrade somewhat this season... who knows - that or maybe not... if i do more thinking than riding - its a given

and heck - maybe i need to start off this season just racing in the C group... maybe i might just be competitive - or not...

all babble - trivial - and revealing... i called Big Tex a pussy and here i am - sitting with an expired collegiate liscence that would require me to start back at the Cat 5 level... oh joy

and now - the joy of food... the pleasure of Gastronomique

till later...
