Got a call from Big Steve yesterday reminding me that Wisconsin went on Daylight Savings - and that he was about to start a neighborhood crit loop after work. That was inspiration enough.
I got to the sawmill at 6:45am, so after his call, I packed it up at 3:15, and drove north. Changed into the silly costume, and rode out and back on the rolling pave' called Lake Mary Road. 2 hours and change later, and I was feeling great. The sun was down, and it was cold at the finish, but damn if a nice 2 hour blowout doesn't feel great. I rode for an hour in warmup mode into the wind at around 19mph, flipped it, and went full Eddy Merckx time trial style back at around 24mph. I love Merckx style time trials....no skinsuits, no aero-helmets - just ride in your drops as fast as you can until failure.
It's been the week of Superstars so far. Pro MTB'ers Koerber and Rockwell on Sunday, followed by checking out This Guy yesterday. World Series MVP - pretty sweet. Before that it was this guy, with an absolute hottie on his arm, and before that it was her. No lie. She wasn't wearing that, though. You never know who's gonna walk through the door in a resort town sometimes.
