title says it baby, handwritten scribble to follow (well my lazy typewritten transcript banged out on the keyboard between phone calls emails McPiss breaks and what not)
Before getting there - Patty OG sounds like he should be on NPR with his voice (link to his MP3 podcast). no?
Off the top here we go:
gal walking up hill past me... walking her fixie WTF? you wanna be trendy then ride the GD bike... like that its just a bigger (barely) version of those fucking gay ass longboard skateboard things people are carting around to class now...
people w/taste in clothes but not the body for them (observation made sitting in the window of pizza place watching the world walk by)
Email list came through just before leaving for lunch:
- - 60º DRESS WARMLY
WHAT!!!!
i'm conditioned to the point now where if its dry i'll do short sleeve and shorts on a ride from 50 or 55 degrees and warmer... This am the arm warmers were a smidge too warm even!!! 60? dress warmly?
Maybe it was the heat that fucked with me on sunday. (see i can have as many excuses as Zoo)
Runners on the street - get the fuck out of the way... back on the sidewalk or the paths that bikes and cars are not allowed on.
Cyclists at intersections... look dumbass mo-fos prepare to stop at an intersection... you come bombing through and i'm stopped and start going but you decide to fucking motor through like I'm a car supposed to wait for you? FUCK.
And the cars waiting for me like i'm not gonna follow the right-of-way. Murat went through that the other day and G-dawg-zilla, all the time.
Bottom line - gimme cars to deal with vs cyclists, at least here in this town.
Leave cross bike as is for first race as in don't fuckwith the gears or put a 12-34 and a mt der on there-yet
Last year 2 slices of 'za at Antonios would have been enough to fill be up, now i'm still hungry... freaking calories. Gotta be in the 2500-3000/day consumption and yet still bouncing between 185-190#s... no increase yet... whish is like double what the biggest looser show says 'i' should be (based on my weight and BMI stuff).
So yes, writing while waiting - got class to deal with. two hours of Haz waste training round #2. Start with 1 - one year later repeat, then it can all be done online, annually... no more sitting through boring 2 hour class.
Ahh power point. crappy canned, unoriginal boring but worse than boring, its lame and boring. The material is okay but between the Subway eaters the lunch crowd... all just waiting for the final hr...
Read through the Bicycling mag in the bookstore between lunch and meeting. man how trite lame and uninspiring a mag it is. How could anyone find it thatway, well, i guess the "mainstream" people - the NBW century bike path type rider
no mention of cross - wicked amount of crap about floyd the doper. some BS fluff about podium girls.
while i'm too mainstream to ride a fixie (or not mainstream enough depending on POV) to work and wear funky clothes and what ever the "modern punk" wears - that big old brand i my soul with the words cyclocross is enough (brand as in cattle brand, not Trek)...
two hours of writing ideas could be a way to burry some thing in...
How to be fast:
what i said months ago:
-ride the damn bike
-miles miles miles...
or km if you are a metric head...
but intensity - intensity is the key...
commuting miles done at low intensity are just 'walking' the bike, worthy but not effective. good to do when sick and as recovery (if you can let rabbits and other speed bait roll past without chase)
Most important factor:
MENTAL
--
Coke has a pH of 3. That's considered Caustic/Corrosive.
I'm falling asleep
cross bike checklist:
-rear brakes (ditch the crappy short 'linear pull' brakes in favor of wicked strong oldschool shimanos)
-Locate and check over the 'race' tires
-shifting, right shifter needs some lube and cable finessing
----
that's the end of the scribbling....
oh check out Racing Union's camel add... freaking cool eh?
and cool...
the Farm i got my reall awesome peaches i ate for breakfast is over here at the place Yogurt Boy Linked - doesn't look like they are claiming full organic though...
gotta ask them about that next week... if not organic whadda they use that isn't? or are they just not payin the cash to be certified?
okay - yall have a pimpin day...
gotta see if i can find me some Kozy Shack. I hear that's all it takes to win the Masters 35-39 catagory at Nationals. Well supposedly that's what worked last year. Kozy shack could be so like - 2005...
hopefully that reference won't be so obscure that no one gets it...
oh and i'm with patty G - whats up with the ugly suits that the US team is wearing?
and antoher question... why are the men wearing shortsleeve ones and the woman wearing long sleeve ones? WTF?
And when did the USA change its colors to Black, Brick red and Auzure Blue?

Since I can't shower at work, I'm forced to take it pretty easy in the AM. But after work I motor home, taking a longer route, keeping my eye on the elapsed time at each check point, red-lining myself often... My ride to work is a 13.3 mile sissy walk, as you said.. But riding home always includes testing limits and painful speed for all of 20.9 miles. With this very cool weather recently, I OWN the Cranston bike path, especially in the morning. The low amount of traffic is quite nice actually.
