it is weird

Lately my core and specifically the lower half feels stronger and more neurologically responsive than ever. Control, balance and all that. The only think I can attribute it to is the long unbroken streak of riding the bike w/o a day off. That or after 5 years i'm sort of finally hitting something close to figuring out the pedaling stuff.

(there were 5 fast food ads on the radio just now, seriously? 5 in a row WTF - sad, very sad)

That and man, the Rhonde De Rosey sounds fooking INCREDIBLE. The close we get and the more i hear about it (twitter mostly) the more I wish I had figured out a team and signed up. Not that i have that day free, maybe there's day care at the start/stop point? No i'm not going to make it but it sounds pretty damn cool. Hopefully someone will ride it and write about it so I can live vicariously through those who do.

Battenkill. There better be at least one decent write up about it, although having ridden it so many times I'm not sure how interested in reading about it I am anymore, sort of a been there done that and don't have the t-shirt.

King of Burlingame. Same thing. The pre-ride totally killed the event for me. When you only ride the crazy stuff on race day you have no choice but to go hard and push it. When you ride around and find it totally not fun, well. Hey not going to do it. I will check the results and see how everyone does.

I hear that NBX just couldn't swing the permitting and other red tape stuff for the NBX march sundays. A few teams I hear are showing up there at 10am on sundays despite that for a few interval workouts though. Just a rumor that probably everyone else knows already.

That and I did something crazy. I rode home in 52 degree weather with full on leg warmers, arm warmers and sleeveless baselayer. Crazy. GeWilli was dressed the same for 42 as 52. What the hell. It was warm but not too bad. Summer's coming. No point in developing the cold tolerance anymore. Gotta get used to being too hot. Might as well start now by over-dressing.

Two days off between Feb 1st and March 16th really isn't too bad. A major handful of those days are doubles anyway. March only has three days w/o a double. But hey it is only mid-way through the month and I'm wondering:
"Did I win"

thanks for the link Geo
