I started training for the True Grit last night.
I started by drinking some Tequila as a motivator for getting out of bed and made a promise to myself that I would, in fact, go for a ride in the morning. If, for nothing else than to clear the fog…
I report that I did just that. And it really, really, really sucked.
As I rolled out of bed, I was excited. Then I walked outside and the mugginess of the morning hit me. I almost went straight back to bed. But I had made promises and there was a little fog to clear. I began to gather the necessities. I filled the bottles, gathered my riding clothes, pumped up the tires and grabbed the ear phones. Then I went outside and began to ride.
As they say, I must have left my legs in bed. I didn’t actually feel too shitty until I hit dirt and then things just kept getting worse. You can see from the picture, which was not posed, I am not happy about the way things are going.
I rode 8 some odd miles in about an hour.
At least the view was pretty.
In more important news, the Leadville 100 took place this weekend. You can get the results here.
However, I found the DC version a bit more interesting.
In a different note, after hopping on over there to steal the screen shot you are enjoying, I found some new news, that is even more important so take the leap and help Charles…
The only other big news that I heard this weekend was about the Ames Straw Yanker or something like that. You can read my thoughts here.
Oh and Argentina just re-elected Sra. Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, again.
If the juxtaposition of those two events doesn’t say something to you, it should.
I leave you with Jon Stewart.
Until whenever, Out.
