"FORCING" a RAGNAROK110

Survived RAG105 single speed by wandering and reveling brutal n glorious conditions and sights. After 110 miles, off-tulip twice, 9+hrs finished! Great race, good times. The Day: spin, slush, ice, people sliding into home plate, hills, ice downhills, more ice, hills, wind, more wind, more ice, snow, more wind, mud, more hills, pain, more pain, hills, more muck, more hills, wow, incredible. http://www.ragnarok105.blogspot.com/

YODA SUMMER BREEZE

The 6+ inches of Monday snow is gone. Til mud daze, bye bye Pugsley. Admit on the road bike more.. Fixie, not so much.. Isn't that the semi-pro thing to do. ha ha ha. Using new birthday gift courier bag Amy scored. Nice. Sport'n jeans biked to class yesterday. Just riding and doing whatever, happy no matter what colors sporting or not sporting. Anyway, without stretchy skull cap on it made me realize how big my ears are!! All that breeze, the ears must really slow me down. And at my age protruding ear hairs no help either. Lalonde has a funny vent post with hair mentioned, see his MO post. He's pro now? Anyway, I'll just keep hair trimmed & rely on the force.

April Foo Commute - Mpls MN, 8 inches freashy no lie

FIXIE FARTS

Today Amy & I biked into the wind around burb trailway system. The ride included a coffee shop stop. It was nice to chat without ciaos of offspring within earshot. I used that FIXIE prize from Hilside PUGSLEY series win. That sounds odd. Here's something else odd, how do you FART on a fixie? Unless you really really gotta rip.....relaxing long enough on a FIXIE is a challenge. Is it just me? ha ha ha another thread too!! No wonder true blood fix crowd are in a fearless brakeless hurry.....gotta get home!!

Comping Motivation if I write it...

Hate trainers. Not counting hotel use on business travel, my lifetime acheivement on-trainer as of today is 6.9 hrs. 6.5 of those hrs 2008 hours!! What's interesting is finding actual interest for convenience, as a barometer of readiness, for recovery, to aid in focus, to reduce binge eating, ergo movement, & to target known performance weakness. Today a consistant, high resistance trainer session w/ease let me know, recovered. Either recovered or fiberous compensation, regardless, sense positive change. Eager to go outside & ride w/ pa pa pa purpose again......c ya out there

Wind Cries Mary

Dang, great to see my Misfit Psycles 29'er again. Took it out today, freaked as it's puny compared to Pugsley. Thought I'd fly but no go. The wind varied between 15 to 25mph. The hill route made me cry Mary. Don't think the wind remembered me. SS 36x17 29'er not so threatening but after recent multi-hour pug rides, being early season, it was all I could do to bag 2 hours. Good ride for mental retard toughness, stale, better watch it.
