Lazy, so lazy!

It's not that I have nothing to say, it is just that I am lazy, very lazy. Slightly busy too, but I won't use that as an excuse. The past few weeks have been full of travel, some going out, a lot of riding, and the beginnings of racing.

More to come . . .

Off I Go

Well, after a brief spell back home in Denver following two trips on the road for work, I'm back outta town again. This time I've headed to the root of the problem, where it all started, Reno, NV. I wish I could say this is for a good reason, but I can't. Unfortunately my Great-Grandmother passed last week so that means it is time to get the fambly together again. The Service is taking place today, under what look to be crisp blue skies. I hope that everything today is as beautiful as her life was. She was an amazing woman, the true matriarch (forgive me if I've misspelled that) of the family. I will make sure to share more of my experiences later, as I have no idea what the internet situation is down in Yerington where this is happening.

There is a joyus side to this trip, however. I'm also here a few extra days to help celebrate Mom's (belated) birthday! Happy Barf-day Mom! I couldn't be here without ya!

Oh, and as one last aside, I need to get a Wii, those things are way too fun. I can't believe my mom is more hip, cool and/or with it than I am. She already has one and has been totally kicking my butt. I will demand a rematch once I've had a chance to improve. Mom, you're going down!

Sleeping In

What more can you ask for? Things have been quiet as of late over here, but there's plenty to tell as soon as I get the chance to sit down and write for real.

The first 15 minutes of the race on Sunday was fast and fun, the second 15 minutes was fun as well, and then the officials pulled the majority of pack because of a ten second gap, uhhh . . . what?

Off to work.

Common Sense

This isn't so much a post as it is a quick query. Why is it that common sense is no longer common? Should we now call it hyper-intelligent sense?

Use your brains people!

Time in the Day

I know my friends have jobs as well. They go to work, they get paychecks, but the part in between seems really hazy to me. I have a certain set of responsibilities and tasks to get done during the day and sometimes I have to bring work home. So how do these guys log 80 emails a day, find random shite on the interwebs, make travel arrangements, make fun of other people, and get their work done on top of it all?

Hutchison found some amusing reading by doing some research on who is making bamboo bicycle frames. One of the former riders from the Colorado scene was getting bashed by one of his Ivy League colleagues for self promotion, aggrandizing himself and his talents, and being a clown in general.

Maybe my friends can teach me the ways of the working world, I want my money for nothing and my chicks for free . . .

Volume

Yeah, what Seth said.

Kendall and I took a slightly different route home with its own miserable, little, leg-breaking climbs. All in all, I got in 100+ miles on the day and enough early season climbing for this non-climber. I'm glad I took the opportunity to thrash myself yesterday, given that there's nothing doing outside today. I will probably venture out for food and laugh at Seth after he gets his leg hairs yanked out.

Given proper recover time, this ride will do wonders for fitness. At this point it has done little to shift order on "the list" . . . you know who you are.
