One New Thing (to obsess over).

My program of "Taking it to the next level" (you know, IT) kicked off in rather fine style today. My ride had all of the following.

3 hours
My SS. (TWO Niner as an American chap I know refers to it as)
Lots of up
Wet Roots/trail litter/pine needles
Some rather nice down
Up and down together in one convenient package
Climbing through mist
Fugazi (see title of previous post)
Walking up very steep bits with my bike (however not too many, of which I am happy)
Mud/Muddy puddles of unknown depth
Blood. Mine (a rather pathetic-tacular low speed oopsie, attempting to remount my bike after slipping on some wet roots on Old Chevy
1x One Square Meal (on ride out of Longmile)
Arm Warmers (it was unseasonably cold)

I now feel very tough. And I am only sore if I move, stay still, sit, stand or lay prone. I have found a new thing to obsess over.. wait for it... Are my Ergo Grips level!! Hurrah!!!!! ( I twisted one out of alignment when I fell on my ass today). Next up, collapsing on the couch in front of the mesmerotron to watch Storm Surfers and mull over my return to work after four sweet days off. Joy.
