Spring Break week

Nothing like spring break to disrupt the whole flow of commuting.

I need one of those xtracycles with the extra seats... but then traffic isn't too bad being as it is spring break.

And sure - Mandy takes the link i sent her - pulls her photo out and not even a thank you... shucks... its okay i guess - and gravel? No, girl, that wasn't gravel - gravel was what lined the sides of the road... ya get in that and you find the gravel... she does look alot more comfortable than the rest of the field...

Yesterday there were two very distinctive sets of eyes that i encountered. The first set, right off the bat in the morning. Robins egg blue speckled kind of eyes. Striking. There is something about eyes, so unique so individual. Back in Michigan there were two specific instances where the students had colored contacts in all the time. It was spooky. You could tell even with a cursory glance that the eye color didn't fit and didn't seem natural. Why change what your eyes look like? They say a ton about you.

The second set. Pretty dramatic. I've seen this set around, not frequently but occasionally. And maybe it was the morning pair that had my eye-radar turned up to observation level. This set was like floating liquid amber. So striking. gorgeous. The thing is i hadn't noticed them at this level before. And maybe that's why i was so stunned. Like a flower you walk past every day in bloom and then you notice it. Beauty, raw natural beauty. Pretty amazing.

You never know what ya might find each day. Be on the look out for beautiful things. Find the beauty in your life around you. Use it to inspire or just to smile about.

With such a low mileage/time week I am going to try and get out this weekend. Yes rest is good. And honestly i think this rest this past week was needed. Gotta sort out the whole commuting bike thing. Resurrect the P-mount (which has a 58 TT maybe it is a 62... i dunno) in place of the Croll... find/buy an extra P'tap harness... lots of stuff...

Good luck to the bike racers heading out for competition this weekend. I hope Cturd can produce some better videos... people complaining about alcohol abuse when Levi is spraying them with champange... just ain't good footage, although it is probably indicative of the locale, he does have big full lips. No wonder Solobreak loves his mouth.

So far we are two for two with broken confocals today. So much fun. Here's to hoping nothing else breaks!

how many days till cross season starts?
