Caffeine rules. I literally did slip into a couch coma between 1830-1900 tonight, I came to with a jolt, kissed my son goodnight and headed off to make the wife and I our post dinner rush brew. An hour later and I'm clear eyed Clarabel. I cleaned the Gnar Gnar Binks/Weird/Simpleton's/Anti bike and am pleasantly not seeing life through a haze of exhaustion and heat. AWESOME!!!
This morning's ride was an interesting experience. I only ended up riding three trails today. sure, the first one was Mad if You Dont and the other two were Frontal Lobotomy and Billy T There was a lot of sharp climbing in between those three. I got a call from The Wife as I was working hard for the money* up past frontal on the way to Billy T, all thoughts of my ride were dashed "DO YOU WANT TO GO ONTO THE DUCK BOAT AT 1100?" Now, I live my life according to a pretty strict code, and right up there near the top is "NEVER EVER NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE PASS UP THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO ON THE DUCK BOAT" Realizing that I was A) up pretty high in the forest and B) Cutting it fine time wize, the next forty minutes turned into a super D-esque time trial all the way home. Fastest time ever down billy T on the SS ( in fact, fastest time down it on any bike) I saw a Wallaby, little fucker was hopping like lightning. White knuckle gravel road descending and 150000 rpm spinning along Te Ngae road all the way home (Average Speed 30km/hr. Gear ratio 32x20, I pick daisies). The duck boat ruled.Then we went swimming.
Although I am confident of being placed A) Last in my Category and B) Firmly in the pain cave I am looking forward to my first long course race on the SS Next Week
