Or not.
Could be indicative of a slightly lower caffine level than normal -(paranthesis removed)- I skipped the early morning coffee cause the oldest is staying with my In-Laws this week for spring break, and that means i dont' have to get up at 5:45am... and it means i roll from bed to shower to heading to work (on the bike) and no time for making the morning pot (point at which parenthesis would have concluded but that would have been a stupid long aside - much like this).
Could be the lower caffine or the dehydration. that's kinda naggin at me. I'm thinkin that's it and it doesn't bode well for a ride this evening even if the ride is mellow slow and a 'no one gets dropped' affair. no point going out for any ride over 30 minutes in a dehydrated state.
Oh and about that one i mentioned (sue me - i'm covering them out of order) the wind, ahh the midwest wind. Ontario is very much like michigan, but from what it seems Ontario is a more successful region. Michigan's in the tank and from what i heard talking to a great friend out there is someone (GM) is flushing hard and it looks like they'll take the whole state with them. Getting outa there is good.
And another thing i could go off on from one is the heating oil stuff. I think i came across three or four mentions of it at races this weekend. Didn't ANYONE read delightful Dawn's article? Yeah it's not so bad at 55 or 50 degrees. And no ya won't prolly go hypothermic in those temps. BUT do you really want increased blood flow to the skin when you need every single hemoglobin to aid your VO2Max? Just a random thought not intended to be anything more than a thought or an observation, void of malice, filled with curiosity. Yeah i know its traddition, toe clips and straps were traddition as well. 36 hole low profile rims were tradditional too. Brooks Saddles... the list of bad tradditions in cycling is not short. And i guess we can add the drug using pro-ranks to the list of bad tradditions.
I found the Audioblogger.com button... i may give it a shout one of these days. In reality though thinking about it, i'm much better in the written word format. Not some mumbly hard to hear funny sounding guy. Although i can and do often turn on the diction and the volume, but that's kinda like stepping into a character... maybe i can do it- i might give it a try for the hell of it and to hear myself speak rather than read the words i write. Might be an interesting experiment. Maybe i need to type out the post and then speak it... (for the reading impaired 'readers').
I had a thought the other day - with all the blogger's getting press passes for everything, i wonder if i could apply for and get one for Interbike next year... not that i'll have the $$ to go but damn it'd be fun... although i'm sure i could ride the coat-tails of either the Washington Shop or the Michigan one... and that michigan one... i hear there are 35-40 people showing up for the club rides.... people are flocking to road bikes like crazy out there. That's cool. I just wonder if they were all just waiting for me to leave?
okay - enough kicking the keys around...
gonna end with an original photo...
The Egg Roll - you know the one that the same sex parents all tried to get to - well our president was photographed walking around greeting the participants...
note the secret service in the umbrellas...
(its a joke - and i don't care if i'm the only one laughing but its what i thought of when we were reviewing the photos on the camera in the car)...
on that note...
peace out
