I'M BAAACK!!! Well what started as 4 days off due to a vacation in Vegas turned into 7 days due to Vegas trip and then trying to get back into a normal sleep/energy pattern. I did ride in one other day this week, but I took the short trip both ways and lagged HARD. Thought I had lost my legs!

Today I was back with a vengance! Sprang out of bed right as my alarm went off, dashed out the door in record time, the whole way in no one passed me, I dropped 2 folks on hybrids, 3 mountain bikes, and 1 pretty hard core looking roadie. Paced with a guy I often see on an older road bike, before our routes parted, and made the whole trip in a pretty standard time of 1 hour 22 minutes. IT FELT GOOD!!!!

Oh, and no one tried to kill me, however I did get to give a guy in a big turbo deisal ford "the look" as I cut him off. it was very slow moving traffic, and I always take the lane at this spot and he tried to act like I didn't have a right. I wanted till traffic was completely stopped, looked him right in the eye, and then rode my bike between his front bumper and the car in front of him. THEN as things got moving again, I cranked HARD and left him in my dust, then turned off when about 4 car lengths still seperated us.

In street racing they call 4 car lengths "getting walked"!
