Time on my side

The volume has been turned down
but that is just because the
work has been done.
I had a xc ski coach who said that
after the first 1000 miles of the season
to only spin in the small ring.
Well I have only one bike that I can do that on.
And on the road bike I have a hard time being in the small ring.
Local test on monday and then a big one on sunday,
time for recovery is now.
Can't believe how hard it is to sell a road frame
sweet one steel is real and had built is better.
11 years of bliss full marriage today,
good food to follow and then move into the new house.
Got to love the Point.

Life on Mars

I need to read my posts before I hit post. Gamer was never my strong suit. So I bought a house this morning and it was the easiest closing ever. In and out in half of one hour, so with the rest of the day all to my self it was time to ride a bike. Off to the woods under the blue bird sky. The dirt was perfect and the bike rode sweet. No one on the trails but me quite and fast a good day in the hills. Still have some work to do before the next race on June 1st but I think that I can get it done. Next big thing is the move that is less than one mile, so that is what is on tap I have some photos coming soon of the new house Plus Jimmy Rock is have his 4th birthday this weekend fun will be had. Get a grip and hold on things could get nutty!

Churned

Thanks again to rusty for the pics, I was having a lot of fun here. I took off the 20 tooth cog and went back with the 19 just a hair under 2:1 but it moves well. I have the rear wheel all the way froward in the dropouts so it can't slide if I jam on the brakes. Again I'll take a bit of weight for the smooth ride, like I said that Maverick for is like butter, that good triple creme butter. We are closing on the house in the AM and after that I am heading out to the proving grounds I have work to do and tomorrow it gets done. Now it is time for high life and dreams of the Agent Orange.

Pile O Rocks

Thanks to rusty for the pics, this was the big rock garden

for the race and a good amount of fun with people yelling and cheering.

Bike was sweet only going to get better! Thanks again to the CO. possy for helping put this together.

Nice spin in today with cooler temps new house tomorrow,, Crazy things are a foot at the circle K.

Fifteen Bucks

First things first, once I got my wheel to stop moving things went swell. I do need a bolt on and will try to acquire one here soon. We drove across the state in the rain to only get to put up our tents in the rain. And no one said that you could not buy beer after 9:00 and then could not drink it at the camp site. I thought that I was in Wisconsin! Race day things were chilly and the pre ride was the best way to warm up. Good course working the funny ski hill and then spit out on to sweet single track. The Maverick fork was butter and the NEW Spot rode like a dream. I was scared to slam on the rear brake for fear of moving the wheel into the frame but it never did. Again need to work on that. I felt good for the most part would have liked a bit more in the legs but with all that went down during the week and the long drive I think that the end results were good. I missed the third rung of the podium by a minute or so but moved in to the top twenty for the elite/expert overall. They were giving money 14 deep and I was 19. Room for improvement. The best part was at registration when I was given some medals from past races and fifteen dollars in cash from the last race. That was money!! Good weekend and I could not have done it with out all the help from all my great sponsors. More miles to spin and more time in the saddle.
