It is long but good

Now I'm ready to head off and do this.

Why? kind of for the reasons why he's stating there at some point to the end. Also that just looks fucking awesome. Different than the Paris-Brest or the Round Ireland thing...  maybe I should just stick to shit that doesn't entail international travel and insane logistics. I mean maybe if I was supported by a whole film crew and staff and shit it would be different. But that dude in the dark after lach falling in cow shit, he says why this stuff is so fucking cool. it is true - i could care less about the f'n tours and shit. Bikes, and fun and the EF series with Alex and lach and co are good.

Anyway Lach described what it was like after 180 miles for me in Michigan, and I was like Fuck i feel fucking awesome, my legs feel great, how is this possible.. more magic is that there's nothing else to do, nothing to worry about, it is just about the fucking bike.

Just ride. You can't just do that on a little ride. The end is near. CX is the closest to that because the intensity in that 40-50 min time point is so high, you're probably having as many individual heart beats in a CX race as when you're riding a full century.

perhaps that's a bit of a stretch but fuck it - close in a way...

So I'll admit, I watched the Leadville one first, this GBDuro auto-played next.

Before the Leadville one I watched the Dirtwire Freetown 50 from last year...

Why?

And yeah i know that's a lot of wideo to watch - but also hanging out with service engineers isn't always the most active or engaging work, gotta be here, can't do much tedious or involved - so VIDEOS.

And that 50 miles sounds kind of like the sort of fun that is fun that sort of gets close to the point of the first one.

After 3 hours in the car saturday and 3 hours in the car sunday i'm def not wanting to drive to either Hydra or Gateway (both over 2 hour drives each way). And the rock garden in this Freetown video doesn't look bad. And they say it is flat?

Been interrupted a million times so far since writing this, and no - i didn't have the lux to watch any of the videos through without an equal number of interruptions.

Fork is bugging me though - pressure drop is a bit more than I was hoping for but less than last time... maybe it is just 'settling in'  (or i really need to have Ben take a look at it AND dig out my old shock pump, yeah I have one).

that's it

Life is pretty freaking strange eh? But riding bikes kind of is my thing I guess...  weird how that is...

didn't make it far enough along in the sample prep to look at fun stuff on the microscope today tho
