i'm Back

back was painful last night - enough to keep waking me up...

but markedly better this morning - didn't notice it but once on the bike...

not noticing it now...

power is coming back up to pre-flu levels... kinda nice...

sitting here with a delima: brew up a pot of nice organic extra dark french roast or walk down to dunkin donuts and take advantage of "free" iced coffee day... free 16 oz coffee...

hmmm...

maybe both...

i gotta trip down the hill this morning - debating turning it into a hill ride - start with college, pop down college to main - head up Waterman, down angel then down main to Jenkes so i can ride the steepest damn grade you can pave 15% or something maybe 16% i forget... and maybe you can pave something steeper... its just damn steep...

I think i'm gonna do both - make my own coffee (just a cup less) and then take a nice brisk walk in the cold down the block...

That and i got a notice in the email... trying to figure out how i can get to NYC by 8am...(train, duh) and back the same day... clicked over saw its only $65 for non-members and then... looked at the date again...

well i guess i won't be going to NYC... cause i'll be a bit further upstate...

cynical negative gewilli strikes again: that or raises needless doubt and skepticism over at CV's blog

well here's to a nice walk in the 24°F sunshine - and yes - perfect riding temp... freaking perfect... ya can't overheat and i like that...

They can pave steeper... ride Mt. Washington...

And I vote for both on the coffee... can't pass up free even if it isn't the world's greatest coffee...

I'd imagine they could pave anything by starting at the top and going down, although the ride on the roller must be a little scary.

Not sure who they do it now, but I think the first time they did Daytona (40 degrees or so) they drove the paver around and had a big treaded backhoe type thing (don't know the proper name) with the huge scoop on the end of the hydraulic arm driving on the flat at the bottom, with the arm reaching across the track to brace against the paver and keep it from sliding down. Can you visualize? I didn't think so...

pretty easy to visualize... you did a good job there solo.

your written skills have dramatically improved. mark off one of the goals of starting your blog!
