I have been on the road and off the road quite a lot in the last few weeks, one stop in particular led me to Des Moines to see family and friends. Why, during that stay, I was welcomed in as a total stranger to a local cyclists house for a soup-er-bowl party. Some thoughts on my recent weeks experience or as the title of this column would suggest:
1. Valentines day. Silly ideas for this week include - buying into the commercialized holiday that is valentines day, auctioning oneself off on ebay for valentines day, and any thing associated with said "holiday".
2. To my friend that I talked to the other day at Costco; Don't let those cyclist freak you out. You joined the sport of cycling for many reasons, none of which involve letting someone stress YOU out about YOUR sport. Cycling is an activity that we enjoy and we make part of our life. We do it not to chase rewards, but to be healthy, athletic, competitive, and social. Racing is just one faucet of cycling. Pencil in a lifetime of this sport and with years of effort - rewards will come. And if they don't at least you were healthy, athletic, competitive, and social doing so. Furthermore, cyclist love to talk big; the ones that talk about their training are riding 1/3 of their mentioned hours, and are 1/2 as fit as they would like to be. It is cyclist way of compensation. Sort of like buying a big red truck with semi exhaust, for guys.
3. The hot tub is the not the social epicenter center of the gym.
4. waking up at 5 am to exercise is crazy and unproductive, unless suffering from insomnia.

Sweet ... I got up at 6:30 to ride. Well outside of the 'crazy-time' boundary.
i'm gonna slip in a $500 bid at 2:59:23 pm. wanna double-date with me? what i couldn't learn from a former cat1 who apparently downgraded to cat3 and then re-upgraded to cat2.
i wanna ask how she does that without getting dizzy.
Maybe it's like getting a big red truck with semi-exhaust and then putting balls on the back of it
