I rode my Cervelo today w/ my Cat 2 friend. Hardest damn 55miles I've done all year. I feel like death, but the good thing is the ankle doesn't hurt. Just feels a bit tight. I on the other hand have been completely exhausted. The short crit race on Saturday is gonna be cake after that.
As for the crit, 30 minutes into I want you to remember the comment you just made.

I will. It's gonna be cake. Same race as last week. This time I am attacking with 1/2 a lap to go. Gonna see if I can ride them all off my wheel. Just got to ride smart, and conserve all my energy for the attack.

Also, I've taken a lot of time off of my ankle. I was riding every day. I cut back to like 3 times a week, and wasn't going far or as hard as usual. Last weeks crit race was my first hard effort in 3 weeks. It sucked was jealous of you 1000mile month.

I haven't ridden yet this month and it sucks! Tonight's group ride is postponed until tomorrow so I plan to ride that. I went to a church dinner last night and met the preacher, plan to ride 50 miles with him on Friday. I have no idea what to expect but I'm thinking it could be a rather easy ride. Of course, I'm usually wrong so he will probably take me out and try to kill me.

How do you injure your ankle riding a bike?

It and your knee get rotated thousands of times and the ankle is the smaller one with all the generated power travelling through it.

I'm debating between two front brakes and doing that to my frame. I filed the fork dropouts to accept new wheels so I may as well hand drill the brake bridge.
