Ramblings

Near 16 winding miles, 4 laps, on the Wednesday night race at Crystal ridge. Last to finish. No, the bartender didn't give me a kickback to keep people waiting at the bar longer and it wasn't an evil strategy to increase my odds at the drawing (though I did get another tube and some chamois butt'r). My wife and I still made the 10:15 ultra-screen showing of "Live Free or Die Hard." Great movie. Good going to who ever hit the baby bunny and left it in the middle of the trail. Not at top energy and my seat was too low. Since, I have raised the seat about an inch and changed the angle a bit. The lower tire pressure made a big difference down the ski slope and focusing on keeping my weight off the saddle to hold those turns. Have to get in some 20 plus mile days before the WORS Marathon Series race on July 15th.
All in all a good stepping stone to greater abilities considering I was half dead just three years ago. The heat wave might have taken alittle out of me also and this weather hasn't been good for the spinach. Hot and cool waves and the spinach went to seed before it grew much. Tastes terrible after that. Radishes doing fine as always. Cucumber this year and time to keep it well watered to make the most of the garden. Tried pumpkin last year and all I heard from my wife in her sweet Japanese accent was "where's the cucumber, where's the cucumber, where's the cucumber." A man's work is never done.
