Take it Easy

damn eagles song....

REI has some good stuff and i've been a member long enough that people look at my number and go "WTF" when entering it. Phone service at the store? Well if you have someone on the phone it isn't so bad. Waiting for someone to get to it. Well that's when the whole Take it Easy song plays. And gets stuck in your head.

Ah well.

All worth it.

Seems kinda funny that Peanut gets her copy before me. Must be faster to mail something to BELGIUM than freaking Rhode Island. Sure, she's a contributor and probably had special delivery. But still. Man alive.

Harder than waiting for cross season? Yes. Why? Well, here's the deal. It would be like not racing till mid november while everyone around you has been racing since august. People have read and re-read their copy, heck maybe even piled it into the recycling (god forbid) or the bookcase weeks ago now.

But. Everyday. I go home. Eagerly scanning the house for the tell tale pile of junk mail, bills and whatever else the postman decided to put in our box. Everyday.

Hoping.

that... it will be there...

and my eagerness is tarnishing, it still glimmers as I look around for something magazine like.

Oh and seeing as everyone is talking all about what is PRO and what is not. I don't get the whole white bar tape thing. I don't even really understand going with anything other than black cinelli cork. No matter how many times someone says it is cool. I see white tape and I just shake my head.

Ah man. I just saw this. Carbon tubulars AND a complete clown size bike? Where's my secret pile of bike cash. Wait. I don't have one. Crap.

Don't let the sound of your own wheels, Drive you crazy...

if it was only my wheels driving me crazy... if it was only those wheels...

gotta put the new (to me) bike blinders back on I guess...

i'm only 1/2 through getting to the point of turning back into a cyclist, right? 5 year journey. Sure I've been racing since '90 but that 5-6 years off really basically put me physically back to square one in lots of ways.

Ah man. Petr Dlask's bike? Shoot. I hope it sells for like $2000 so i don't feel bad. If it goes for under a grand i'll be grumpy...

time to ride my bike and forget about Petr's...
