I'm sitting here at my computer and it's about 55 out, clear skies, no wind, and the closest I can get to riding is following the text updates from Amstel Gold. #codgerswhowhineaboutbrokenbones

Thanks for the b-day wishes, it means a lot. 60, I never thought about being 60, just too much to think about when you haven't even grown up yet.
I hope someone sends me a picture of that cake, I didn't bring a camera.

Happy birthday John. 60 and bike racing. So cool.
Happy easter everyone! I don't celebrate, but I'm looking forward to the sale on the Dove chocolate eggs. So much for my race-weekend weight loss.

Rode about 10 miles with my daughter, at about 7 mph.
But that's 7 mph faster than her curled up on the sofa under a blanket having a panic attack, so I'll take it.

I saw Herbie and Mikey yesterday. I couldn't quite place Herbie being in RI, and saw Mikey on the start line of the 1,2,3. It was all kinda surreal at that point.

You did seem a bit confused, maybe it was the schock of hitting the fresh air as you were coming out of the porta-john.

doing afternoon races has it's benefits, the condition of the port-johns is not one of them.

The air is a little less rarified up here in Charleston, RI.
Ndxt time you're in the area, take a run down E. Beach St, it's a pretty view of Block Island Sound.

Yeah, I did a similar thing a few years ago and raced there. My wife had just started running (did some run out on Block Island) and I did the 5's race as they were packing up the gear... so I at least knew to check to see if anything was going on.

Mikey rolled by me as I was pulling out of Battenkill in the car last year. That's as close to BF cool as I get. :|

Of course, being the first person to drop trou in a Porta-Potty can be no picnic either. I had that blue stuff splash all over my cheeks and balls once. It was awful. Left a blue tint on my ass for a couple days.
