Leg's running on empty

Very busy work day + dead legs = a fun ride. Sometimes it just plain fun to go out and ride when your running on empty before you start. The TT bike got the call today and helped deliver the pain.

Nice. I'm seriously considering taking my TT bike along with my road bike on my cross country ride. I think it might be nice to have a different and efficient riding position for a change of pace, especially on the sections with minimal hills. Right now it's setup with a very aggressive riding position for shorter events.

Imagine that, a cyclist that doesn't heed stop signs.

Sometimes riding on "empty" perks me up. Sometimes it just grinds me down further. But it's almost always better than driving.
