Wake Up, Kick Ass, Repeat

In the words of Sleevie today was/is epic.  Start the day with a mocha at Two Creeks to top off the tank.  Next up motor pacing.  I love to motor pace.  There is no better workout to squeeze out that last 2% and get that leg breaking power. 45 minutes at 35mph on knobbies.  Worked?  Yeah.  After saying goodbye and thank you to my kick ass driver I put another hour and a half in the bank.  Out on the Bacchas Highway I saw a small herd of elk chillin in the sun.  Sweet. 

After the ride I went to pick up my car and was treated to an amazing home cooked meal (with brownies!) and Space Ghost on DVD.  Seriously does it get much better?  Oh yeah, Chimay at The Bayou tonight.  I really wanted to do the USGP this weekend but my back had other ideas.(Hopefully Gallagher can throw down and pop the win I know he is capable of) Hard to complain after a day like this though.

Rock On

You can’t use the bad back excuse … that’s MY excuse for doing so poorly!

45 minutes at 35 mph on your cross bike is hardcore. Where did you find a stretch of road that allowed you to ride continuously for that long?

We missed you at Seattle. El Gato asked about you and JG wasn’t feeling it. He needed some mud and maybe he got it today in Portland. Chimay rules!
