Jello
Is about what my legs have felt like the last week. Pretty much the last time the felt good was the intervals last monday. That was a full week and 4 rides ago. Sometimes I feel like I have no clue what makes my legs feel good or bad. Yesterday was absolute hell, and I only rode the mountain bike for about 2.5 hours. Today J-money decided we needed to climb snowbowl. He set a personal best, I followed him panting like a dog on a phoenix summer day.
I guess on the plus side, I have about 2.5 cords of firewood cut and (mostly) split, I installed about $650 worth of chimney in my house, and put the deposit down on a “new woodstove”:http://www.lopifire.com/product_guide/detail.aspx?id=209. I may feel like crap, but at least we’ll be warm this winter.
I also transferred the latest batch of beer into the secondary fermenter. My East Coast readers will be familiar with “Magic Hat #9″:http://www.magichat.net/. I am brewing a clone of #9, and I just added the apricot flavoring. It should be ready to go in another 2-3 weeks. mmmmm. . . .
The magic hat is the beer in the front, and the one in the back is a porter which is getting bottled tomorrow night.
Scratch that, at least we’ll be warm and have some beer this winter.
Off to interbike wednesday night.

So as of this morning, at approximately 10:27am, I manned up, dropped $125, and signed my slow ass up for 24 hours of solo fun under the Tucson sun. Look out Old Pueblo, here I come. Now I just need to get some lights…

oh, snap.
nice work.
singlespeed?
by the way, when you say ‘under the tucson sun’ you really mean under the tucson night sky, because a good part of the race is in the dark.

Of course singlespeed. If I’m gonna be dumb enough to register I might as well go all out retarded. As for the night sky, by that point I’ll be hallucinating so bad I’ll probably think its daytime anyways.

I forgot, did you find anything out jersey wise at Interbike? It would be badass to have a bunch of HS jerseys rockin out at old pueblo…

no word on jerseys yet. I talked with a couple companies, and I’m going to put together some letters out to some people with some proposals in them, but I didn’t get anything nailed down at interbike this year.
