A Blue Funk

Every time I would do something cool with music, the next week when life would return to "normal" (Read: Eating baked beans in Sunnyvale) my mood would plummet and I'd generally sulk around for the rest of the week. Who woulda thought that this would happen with riding bikes...

Saturday before last had me waking up and going "fifty Km huh? really?". Living here and doing events here make for a whole lot more relaxing experience. I felt relaxed, maybe too relaxed as I made my way to the start. I started from DFL, as A) there were some hot-shot-shaved-leg-bike-as-scalpel-heart-attack-serious ATHLETES on the start line and B) "Fifty Km Huh? Really?". IT was choice though.. Excellent actually. Great ride, Picked some people off, lots of good ups and choice choice downs. I've totally made up with Billy T.The Hundred Km guys and girls have my undying respect...Shouldn't I be the one giving you guys kind words of encouragement?

I busted my bunghole and finished in 3.55, average I know, considering the last time I rode a 50 ( In July) I finished in 4.48 I feel pretty pleased about this...

and now, in finishing up this b minus post I'll leave you with this little gem from Seasame St. Back when the muppets sounded right. So much for Jim Henson's "wait and see attitude".



I'm tired. Having a test ride tomorrow. Nervous.
