Hangover

It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I drank as much liquid as I could fit in my belly and I ate a little. After the fun ride on my trainer the basement had the stench of sweaty alcohol. Yummy.

Base1 - Day 2

Snowy and cold. Makes me wish for a little day light after work so I can ride my mountain bike outside in it. Not for me though. I get basement trainer time. Fortunately I got another Chappelle's Show DVD from Netflix.

First Day of Base1

Well, for me it is. The rest of you should have started yesterday. Oh well, already an hour behind. Just a wee increase on Friday and on Sunday and it should look good on my weekly total report... I just hate missing days. Especially when I was at Dave & Buster's drinking and playing games instead of training.

Colder

Brewer canceled for this morning cause of some sickness. I canceled on Carl F. when I saw some ice on my patio. Probably would have been fine, but it is so much warmer inside.

Sick

It was bound to happen with all of the temperature changes. I am finally sick. The only rule that I have about riding sick is as follows. If you can't control what comes out of your body and when then you shouldn't ride. Phlegm, snot, and sweat excluded.

Day Off?

Not today. I didn't ride yesterday cause well... Ummmm.... Yeah.... Plus there is a bike meeting tomorrow at the Trek Store STL so I can't ride then either. So tonight had to be the night. It marks the start of the final week of Prep. Next week we go BASE1. Also, I started my new job today. Wow. Huge difference.

Here is a pick of the Trek Store STL kit for 2006.

Bad Day

Car wouldn't start so I had to bust a$$ on my bike from my house to the gas station in Fenton so I could meet up with the ride. About got into a fight with some pole smokers in a POS Ford Probe waving an aluminum baseball bat at Rock Creek and 30. Flat tire on my non MAXXIS that I didn't have time to change out last night. Was about hit by a stubby fat $hit Pot in his white work van down by the stables. The dude had the nerve to slam on his breaks and jump out of his van after I flipped him off for buzzing me and screaming out the window. Not good. I thought Bruce was gonna kick the guy's ass after he (Bruce) threw his bike on the ground. There were two positives though. Nice weather and I did win sprint for the Kirkwood sign on Marshall. What happened Dan?

Burrrrr

Pretty chilly today. Another trek from the Market Place to Maeystown. I never really get tired of this ride. Mostly because new people seem to cycle in and out every week. Keeps it interesting. Today we saw the extended return of Andy O'guin as well as a new comer to the ride Josh Carter. Never officially met Josh before. Seems like a pretty soft spoken fella and serious about his riding. He obviously could have killed any of us today, but he was quite reserved and stuck to the plan.

Another nice day

When will the nice weather end? Rode with Danny B, Joe Williams, and most of the Gateway team. Headed out past the stables in Fenton things really picked up. Before I new it there were only four of us left Dr. Mark, Dave C., Allen, and myself. The pace was much higher than I had anticipated and was not all that displeased with myself when Allen and I got gapped off after a turn into the wind. After the Gas station in High Ridge Danny B., Joe, and I split off from the group for an easy ride to about the end of Rock Creek Road.
