Yesterday when I got back to the car after my race, my wife told me there was a guy who went on a 30 minute tirade. He was standing few feet away, and was making some pretty insulting comments about women. Once she told me what he said I started hunting the guy down to talk to him. Never found the guy, which was probably for the best. After talking to the wife about it more it seemed like his comments were directed at one of the female pro's (which doesn't make it any better).

Serious flu body aches. I’ve never felt this before. And I have very little temp to report now, nor sinus issues, nor sore throat. Very dehydrated and my quads are in constant charlie horse mode. WTH?

Anyone else get done with a hard weekend of riding/racing and pound your legs (literally) as a sort of self-massage? I start showering and I just take a break mid shower to start punching my legs lol.

Most of my friends couldn't give 2 s***s about cycling. On the other hand, I give 2 s***s before many of my races.

My back has been killing me since Wednesday. I'm not really sure what set it off, but it has been rough. I was walking the dog, when all of the sudden, I felt pains shooting down my right leg. I nearly fell over.
I got on the trainer later that night, and every few minutes, I'd get the shooting pains. I haven't been on the bike since, even though I was snowed in and could have spent plenty of time on the trainer. The strange part of it is that my flexibility does not seem to have been affected at all.
Anyway, I found a new chiropractor and am starting to get better. The last chiro would just look at me and give me an adjustment. Sometimes it would work, sometimes not so much. Lately, I hadn't found much relief from her efforts.
The new guy, however, is part of a chiropractic/sports wellness/physical therapy office. He is more interested in fixing the root problems, strengthening my back muscles and preventing recurrence. He gave me a very small adjustment and spent more time doing massage work and then gave me some exercises to do at home. I'm optimistic this will work.
Oh, and the knee isn't bothering me anymore.

According to a co-worker, if you have a little kid, don't let him play with your smartphone, especially if you have it set to "wipe it clean" after 5 failed login attempts.

I don't know about you guys, but I keep a roll of TP in my car as well as a section in my race bag. I've encountered too many Porta-Potties without TP.

I forgot to post this but I just remembered.
I was on a club ride 2 weeks ago and one of the guys was carrying chain lube with him in his jacket. I asked another friend what the purpose was, because I only apply the lube once every couple of weeks. Why would you need to do it mid-ride?
I was dumbfounded. Someone explain this to me!

Maybe he had some gu or something inside. That'd be kinda funny to clean out a chain lube bottle and put something else in it to freak everyone out hahaha.
