Ready for lift off Dad!

The DMV didn’t go as planned last night. I learned a couple good lessons that I have been told over and over again by much wiser men.

Stay in the front of the group
Trying to bridge solo is hard

#2 should never happen if #1 is always remembered. I tried to bridge solo after sitting in with the slow group way too long. I got within a hundred yards and could not close the gap. At this point my motivation was destroyed as where my legs so I stopped. I haven’t felt like the old Rico for a good while now. Let’s see… T-Point was the highlight of the season so far. It has all gone downhill from there. I hope I can get some legs back for this weekend at the Chalk Creek Road Race.

In other news Team Porcupine is finally filled up and ready to destroy all others at the E100 relay. We got AJ, The throttle, Chrispy, S-War and Myself all on board to tear up the 39 and under field Saturday July 22nd. Single-speed or Stumpy 120? The Stumpy should be about done with its diet by then and ready to roll. I will have to do a couple practice laps to see which is faster.

Today I took a nice easy spin on the crossbike to give the legs a break. Night ride anyone? Get those lights dusted off and batteries charged so you can scare the crap out of yourself hearing things in the deep woods. That lycra suit wont protect you from the boogyman now will it?

Ahhh kids. 2 popsicles, half in there mouth, half on there legs and hands, 2 phone calls to who knows, and 1 big computer shutoff, all in the 10 minutes while writing this.........

Does anyone else think Boonen has a funny looking sprint?
